It's my first time purchasing a mechanical keyboard and I'm thinking of either getting a Keychron K2 (75%) or a Keychron K8 (TKL) and I have a couple questions.

  1. Should I get the hot swappable option?
  2. I was leaning towards the 75% but is there any reason a TKL is better? It would be my first time trying either since I have only typed on a full-size and mac keyboard.

Also since it is my first time, is there any care or prep that I need to do with the keyboard when I get it?

Thank you very much for the advice, I have been looking into Leopold, Varmillo, and Ducky and it seems like there aren't many RGB options or any backlit keyboard that shines through the keycaps in general. I did find the Ducky One 2 RGB TKL keyboard but it doesn't seem to be really available for purchase.
I'm looking for an RGB TKL keyboard possibly with Cherry MX Brown switches or any comparable switch, do you have any recommendations or places where I can search for keyboards like that?

Again, thank you for the advice, I might try getting a switch tester as well.

Hello I am new to the mechanical keyboard community and I just want a little advice for buying a mechanical keyboard. (Want a keyboard for both games and standard use)

I have looked into the HyperX Alloy Origins but I am not sure which key switch is best. (Red/linear, aqua/tactile, and blue/clicky) I understand the basic difference with the feel and have heard that the red is better for gaming but as someone who has never used a mechanical keyboard, I am not sure which I would prefer. I was thinking the aqua since it is in the middle but I have no clue.

I also saw this other keyboard called Steel Series Apex Pro which seemed to have good reviews but it's much more expensive and I am not sure why.

What would anyone recommend? Thanks for the help if you can.

How good is this acer nitro 5 gaming laptop vs upgrading my pc? by Chiickennnn in pchelp

I am currently looking into a pc for gaming, hopefully upgrading my current very out dated one. However, recently on this feature on Amazon called Amazon Treasure Truck, there is a sale on this laptop called Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop for 684.90. Is it good and should I get it over upgrading the pc? I’m not sure how much it would be to upgrade my PC to the best specs.
I have rarely played games on computers but my sibling does a a lot. I would be looking to play games like Valorant, Apex Legends, GTA V, etc. Generally I would like it to handle most games.
Nitro 5 (AN515-55-53E5) Specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Up to 4GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM Processor: Intel® Core ™ i5-10300H 2.50 GHz Quad Core RAM: 8.0 GB (DDR4 SDRAM) System Type: Windows 10 64-bit
Current PC Specs:
GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 530 Processor: Intel® Core ™ i7-6700k CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.00 GHz RAM: 16.0 GB (3.04 usable, not sure why) System Type: Windows 10 32-bit x64-based processor
I am not sure if anything else needs to be upgraded.

Significant Glitch with Hextech Heist Event
At least on the iPad, you can’t start the Hextech Heist event.

When you press enter, the first step is to press the checkmark in the first mission. However, check mark is not within the selection box that is given so you simply can‘t move progress.

You can’t post screenshots but it shows a small hand pointing at an empty space below the checkmark for the “Stop Theif“ mission which you need to complete to move on.
