Most Favorable Review

Great Value

Waterproof Mechanical Keyboard Blue Switch Metal Cover rainbow LED light 104 keys full-keys Anti-ghosting
Waterproof Mechanical Keyboard Blue Switch Metal Cover rainbow LED light 104 keys full-keys Anti-ghosting

Pros: Lights are kinda fun, I didn't think I'd like the rainbow effect but it has really grown on me Good tactile feedback, travel Not a thousand pounds Excellent value

Cons: Rainbow may not be for everyone Looks kind of dull with lights off, but that's compared to the bright rainbow look. If it was turned off all the time it would look like a typical keyboard, which is fine.

Overall Review: I use a $150 das keyboard. It's better, but not 5 times better. This keyboard is a bit louder and has a bit shallower travel, but is a fantastic value at $35. I would absolutely recommend it. I picked this up for $35 for a build for my niece. She's really into the multi-color thing, and I paired it with Zelotes T90 usb Gaming Mouse, which turned out to have a very cool chromatic shift effect (fade in and out of different colors). The keyboard doesn't change colors, but you can set it to fade on and off (and change the speed at which it does that. The two go together pretty well as a result.

Quiet, cool, 1080p x 60fps king

Pros: Plays Overwatch and Pubg at better than 60 fps Keeps itself cool, no need for extravagant cooling support Not loud (to me)

Cons: None at the moment

Overall Review: I put this in a Node 202. The only fans in the whole build are the stock CPU cooler and the fans on this card. Running vertically there were no issues with thermals whatsoever while playing PUBG at 1080p, which is as intensive as I get at the moment. Great card.

Fantastic beast of a processor

Pros: Great speeds. I haven't bothered oveclocking it yet, but when I get more time, I'm sure I'll get there. Hasn't missed a beat yet. I don't really do processor intensive activity that often, but when I do, it is great. A lot of people complain about the stock cooler. Yah, it's not great, but it is a stock cooler. Let's get real here. If you're going to overclock, it's a given that you're putting on an aftermarket cooling solution anyway. I'm running this whole build in a HAF 922, which has a couple 200 mm fans. The only hot things are the processor and the GPU, which is a geforce 760, the Asus model. I two 200 mm fans running at half speed, and the gpu and cpu fans running full, and I barely hear it.

Cons: Can't really think of any. It's a bit expensive, sure, but it's worth not having to worry about upgrading for a while.

Overall Review: Probably more horse than you need, but why not futureproof?
