Most Critical Review

2nd one I own, this one was delivered defective.

Das Keyboard DASK3PROMS1 (855800001166) Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Model S Professional Keyboard

Pros: Clickity clack. I use one at work and had to buy another one for home. Best keyboard for heavy typing.

Cons: This was the second das keyboard that I own. 4 keys were stuck. Had to replace have it replaced. If it wasn't for this keyboard being defective, I would have given it a 5/5

Overall Review: This version of das keyboard is known to have stuck keys (while the blank key version is okay). They actually had a recall on them in 2009.

Must have for Elite: Dangerous

Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick (PS3 & PC)
Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick (PS3 & PC)

Pros: As the title says, I purchased this for playing Elite: Dangerous. This is the first joystick I've ever used, and I'm in love. - More buttons than I require. - Easy to setup and use - Immersive - Great value for the price

Cons: The flight stick makes a creaking/squeaky noise ever so slightly when in use. Kind of annoying, hence the loss of one egg.

Overall Review: I personally play with the thruster and stick connected together, sitting on my lap. When i had the unit separated on my desk, it felt uncomfortable. The cord in between the two pieces is really rigid, so getting things in the right position was impossible.

Pros: Stable overclock 4.6Ghz @1.28 Volts. This chip screams.

Cons: I'm not sure if it's my motherboard or this chip, but I can only get my uncore up to 3.5Ghz stable.

Pros: Used to own an older version of this with only 2 fan speeds. This fan is way quieter and pushes way more air.

Cons: None so far!
