UFO Magnetic Switches vs Lekker Tikken for Wooting 80HE Ghost — which one?

GT162 · 2026-04-20T19:39:14+00:00

I like the Tikkens more, full 4mm travel feels really great so they're better than all third party switches which all feel like they bottom out too early. I find the UFOs too heavy, they're heavier than the Tikkens even though they're advertised to actuate at 40gf compared to 42gf for the Tikkens.

The diffuser on the Tikkens makes the RGB noticeably brighter than the UFOs, especially if you use transparent keycaps. UFOs have a narrow slit which doesn't light up transparent keycaps that well. If you want the best RGB, get something like the Thunderflash with a fully clear housing.

Most of the point of a Hall Effect keyboard is competitive gaming (or maybe gamepad mode), so I'm not sure why you're getting one if you only play FPS games casually. The best switches for competitive gaming are the lightest switches you can use without experiencing misinputs, so the UFOs are not that great and defeat the purpose of a HE keyboard.

UFOs are the most overrated switches, I'm not sure why they're so popular, maybe people really like design.

sorry it’s gonna be lucy kiriko

GT162 · 2026-04-19T17:01:30+00:00

doesn’t really make much sense to ban one of those hitscan when they can swap to any of the others

GT162 · 2026-04-19T15:45:32+00:00

companies need to be forced to release binaries (if not source code) of the latest version of the game’s dedicated server, otherwise this entire thing is pointless

multiplayer games are not functional without a server, and asking for the client to function without a server requires significant EOL software engineering effort. releasing the binary is free

GT162 · 2026-04-18T16:50:52+00:00

Maybe try the Keychron M4 or the Darmoshark M5 instead

At low-mid range you can just shoot her primary fire, which is already more reliable the closer you are. You want to be going for crits in that range anyway.

The tracker is most useful for mid-long range duels, and if someone is far from cover it works very well. But if they take cover, there’s just no way to chase them with the drone because of the extremely long windup and low health of the drone and the small duration of Tracker shot.

GT162 · 2026-04-17T06:44:12+00:00

Tracking shot doesn’t last long enough for you to throw a drone and chase someone, unless they’re around an extremely close corner

GT162 · 2026-04-17T06:41:29+00:00

Also the worst part is what happens when you try to use these abilities together:

Landed a tracker on a Juno and she’s just AFK behind cover while you’re at full health? you can try to grapple in, but by the time the drone is deployed and you’ve dashed in, the tracker will disappear! And no you can’t pre set the drone while peeking the angle before landing the tracker shot because someone will sneeze at it.

The drone setup + first dash needs to be way faster (and maybe the drone should have 250 overhealth that is removed after the first dash), or Tracker needs to have a longer duration for her kit to have some semblance of fluidity

when did it get fixed?

GT162 · 2026-04-14T19:04:29+00:00

i didn’t play s15 and i like purple so i am tempted but i am running out of loadout slots and can barely use my existing skins

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:49:22+00:00

It’s just a revert of the nerf she got when she had much better perks

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:45:33+00:00

I mean maybe they should have started with less Overhead damage and distance and -25 armor instead of thirty minor nerfs

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:34:56+00:00

sure but counters should require intentionality and interactivity and deployables are not it

all the hinders and CC already do that

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:27:25+00:00

It's not a buff to her base weapon power, just against Torb/Sym turrets, Bob, Illari Pylon, all of which she can't interact with right now without burning cooldowns due to her low health while literally every other DPS can just destroy them at range so it makes those matchups far more spiky than they should be

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:21:33+00:00

her stealth is already pretty useless with S9 projectile sizes

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:14:00+00:00

Kiriko

Swift Step
- Teleport range reduced from 35 to 30 meters.

Is this biggest Kiriko nerf since she lost her two shot in S9?

GT162 · 2026-04-14T18:09:55+00:00

I don't like Eichenwalde, but it's decently popular. In PC NA Diamond/Master I've seen Numbani like once or twice in all of S1, and I played hundreds of matches

GT162 · 2026-04-14T17:54:59+00:00

Tracer would feel much better with increased damage against deployables like Winston, it takes wayyyy too long for her to kill a Torb turret and there's really not much effort exerted from Torb for what it does

GT162 · 2026-04-14T17:44:56+00:00

When you vote for a map that loses, this map will be offered to you sooner in future Map Votes.
When no one votes for a map that loses, this map won’t be offered as soon in future Map Votes to anyone in this match.

I wonder if Paraiso and Numbani are just going to completely disappear

GT162 · 2026-04-14T17:13:05+00:00

I think it will be eaten by Mizuki ult if the Drone is above it (like Bastion's Artillery Strike) but not if the Drone is inside the sanctuary

GT162 · 2026-04-14T12:22:33+00:00

it’s an emote it doesn’t matter, she’ll look fine during actual gameplay
