    Struggling to find a new keyboard for gaming: low profile keys, key rollover functionality and lighting

    I have a Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Hmm so you can get decent mechanical low profile keyboards? I am thinking the message to take from this is either get your latest keyboard and wait a bit longer or a Logitech? They seem like the best options for my needs? I don’t think we’ve found any other low...

    Struggling to find a new keyboard for gaming: low profile keys, key rollover functionality and lighting

    No it doesn’t need to be mechanical - I’m not even sure I like mechanical to be honest after using my Corsair. Does that widen your recommendations? 😂 So I think I don’t care if it’s quiet or not, as you say it’s more about the length of the keys. It seems what I want is quite expensive -...

    Struggling to find a new keyboard for gaming: low profile keys, key rollover functionality and lighting

    Thank you!! Your keyboard on Amazon UK is around £160. I’m sure it’s worth it but I spent a lot on my Corsair one so I’m trying to keep costs down. I looked on Steelseries and found this! https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-3 What do you think? It looks as though it would be low...

    Struggling to find a new keyboard for gaming: low profile keys, key rollover functionality and lighting

    That looks decent and I don’t mind the smaller keyboards but I can’t find this in the UK and looks pretty pricey?

    Struggling to find a new keyboard for gaming: low profile keys, key rollover functionality and lighting

    I have a Corsair mechanical keyboard at the moment but I prefer much lighter keys but I still want gaming aesthetics if possible. UK based - struggling to find a keyboard with low profile keys, key rollover and preferably single lighting but don’t mind the usual RGB lighting. I saw a razor...

    Hi - excuse any ignorant or noob questions as l'm only just learning the technical stuff for home networking etc. I have bad connection upstairs where I have my gaming PC and so I'm planning on running an Ethernet cable from the router downstairs (which can't move) upstairs under the carpets /...

    ‘Use HDR not supported’ / HDR video streaming supported’ confused - monitor query

    Thank you - they both look like great options - I was actually going to say I’d get a TV but Id like a curved monitor. Doubt I’d spend that much though on the Samsung although it looks amazing. I probably wouldn’t look at higher than 32”

    I think I have an issue with my graphics card

    Cheers - I’m not sure if it does use GPU tweak 2 - if that is a separate application I haven’t installed it though…should it be obvious if it uses that? I also tried changing the setting from toms hardware and it’s not helped - the error message came up and I clicked an option and it’s jammed...

    I think I have an issue with my graphics card

    Hi I have an Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop. It has two graphics cards, but the one I utilise for gaming is the AMD Radeon RX 7600S. The laptop swops automatically between cards depending what you’re doing. The laptop has been a dream since I got it in October. A few nights ago I thought I’d see...

    Call of duty black ops Cold War - struggling to find a match?

    Thanks v much - I did think that but thought people had given up on MW3. I was tempted to buy it but didn’t want to waste my money. Cold War is really good. I’ll stick with it…I managed to get into 3 games last night, quicker when plugged in via Ethernet though my NAT had changed from open to...

    Call of duty black ops Cold War - struggling to find a match?

    Hi- I bought BOCW as the new COD reviews aren't great. I'm on pc. I played it online when I first installed it and found a match fairly quickly. Put it down until yesterday and it took me ages to find a game in TDM/kill count. I had to connect via ethernet (which is a pain) and eventually it...
