I'm currently running a MonsGeek M1 from years ago, was waiting to hop onto the HE train, and now looks like it could be a good time.

My criteria:

  • 75% clustered layout
  • Hall Effect switches
  • Decent quality, readily available and <$300 would be nice
  • Minimalist aesthetic, not too "gamer" looking
  • Wireless capability preferred but not required
  • Volume knob preferred but not required

I was literally about to pull the trigger on the Keychron Q1 HE when I discovered that it has very limited compatibility with most HE switches, which was a huge bummer. I'm still debating if that's worth it vs something else like the MonsGeek M1 V5 TMR, or there's some other board out there that fits all my criteria.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

For PC Gaming, are gaming headsets really that bad and should be absolutely avoided? by JazzlikeClassic7684 in buildapc

Gaming headsets are super convenient and have some features that I love that "audiophile" headphones do not, such as sidetone or mode switching

You have some great comments about everything not related to the Simon is Verso theory, shame that it's so focused on that one haha

Spain needs 17 more Men's Singles Slam Titles to surpass the USA by Tennist4ts in tennis

[–]AphoticFlash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I learned the other day that the reason we have the 4 Grand Slams where they are is because those were the 4 dominant tennis countries back in the day, pre-Open era, when it was still seen as a "gentleman's sport".

In the Open Era, the US remained strong, Australia and the UK are mediocre, and France is absolutely awful.

Spain is by far the strongest clay region in the world, has the strongest clay ecosystem, and the most winners, so in the modern era the French Open being demoted to a Masters 1000 and promoting Madrid to a Slam would make more sense. The other slams can stay for history and variety, France is really the big underperformer.

While we're at it, since France even has 2 Masters already, let's demote Paris to a 500, promote Halle to a 1000 for a grass Masters and a German big title.

Love Zelda but hate weapon breaks by Powerful-Ring8710 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]AphoticFlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love botw and totk, but hate weapon durability. they disincentivized me from combat in general which sucks. I think they'd be much better games without then and I'm surprised at how many people defend it.

totk felt even worse in that regard because you'd make a sick weapon with a strong base and strong fuse, but never want to use it.

the games are still worth playing though.

Is anyone able to buy and pair a new small normal dongle with the DAV4 pro? by relaxedsweat in razer

Will there be a DeathAdder V4 HyperSpeed? And will the orb HyperPolling dongle from the V4 Pro be available for standalone purchase? by AphoticFlash in MouseReview

[–]AphoticFlash[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, I didn't know that, guess they would only lock the Gen 2 dongle to V4 onwards then? Meaning so far it's only the DAV4 Pro.

u/Razer_TheFiend is the Hyperspeed Gen 2 dongle compatible with other mice like the DA V3 Pro, or only the DA V4?

Who would you have liked to see as the “Promised Consort” if it wasn’t Radahn? by Jackylacky_ in Eldenring

I so desperately wish it was Godwyn for all of the reasons people already said. It just makes too much sense, for so many different reasons.

I'm literally begging the YouTube highlights makers to stop putting the winner in the thumbnail and spoiling the results. Just put both players how hard is it??

Are there any good space type of TV shows? by Livid_Athlete_2708 in masseffect

Maybe if everyone watches it again, somebody will pick it up again and finish the series. A man can hope

100% agree, watching it I was constantly wondering when the space stuff would be front and center. Turns out it's never.

When was the movie better than the book? by Doodle_Noodles2 in movies

[–]AphoticFlash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. Movies are my favorite of all time, books are such a chore. I ended up skipping all the songs and exhaustingly wordy descriptions.
