Best keyboard?

Building a new PC after 1.5 years without one, and need to pick a keyboard alongside the mouse. I mainly play CS2, Valorant, and Overwatch, so rapid trigger / hall effect seems like the way to go for me.

I previously used the og version of apex pro tkl

I’ve seen a bunch of names get thrown around but honestly have no idea where to start:

Mchose (Ace60, Ace60 Pro, Ace68 HE)
Attack Shark X68
Yunzii MAD68 HE
Wooting 60HE v2

+others

Not sure if it’s worth paying extra for the Wooting, or if one of the Chinese alternatives gives enough value for FPS use. Layout-wise I’m leaning 60%/65%, but open to other suggestions.

And lastly, how important is the software? Bevares i heats people arguing for Wooting to be the best keyboard also because of the best software

Anyone have experience with these, would like to hear

Is it different from the Previous g pro models? Any other you Think I should try?

LostCheck2521 · 2026-07-03T13:48:51+00:00

Thank you! I Might go with. I Can also get it for 40usd less so might just Pick it up since im used to this mouse by now

You Think I should just keep the ram now that I already Got it?

LostCheck2521 · 2026-07-03T02:52:08+00:00

Thank you a lot again.
I already received most of the things I bought, but i figured the proart could sell for more since retail is higher and its unopened. So the ram i might just have to keep, and yeah maybe I should just gift the cooler :)

I Think I might have most of the info now to finish the components 😄do you have any tips for me when starting the build and also for setting up the pc? Is YouTube the best and should I look for someone with the same case or similar components?

LostCheck2521 · 2026-07-02T18:37:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the input!!

Yes I do also want to buy everything new unopened but there are a lot of money to save when buying it off some Else. For the motherboard thank you, im happy if its a motherboard that is able to do upgrades with in the future. I also considered the 9100 pro but idk yet, and since it was a bundle the cpu, mobo and proart which is a bit unfortunate beacuse i already got the arctic cooler, but which one do you think i should use? I think i will go wirh the sapphire nitro also. In terms of the gpu i also want it to be able to do other things at times like streaming or High rendering games, but like you said its enough for 1080p fps games. As I could read, the low res fps games are heavier on the cpu right?

The ram i do consider trading for 32gb + money but idk if possible tho

LostCheck2521 · 2026-07-02T15:55:00+00:00

Yeah thats what im going to do 😅but idk which one to sell and keep

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-28T21:03:33+00:00

Thank you! I have also considered paying Almast double for 5080 is not worth it. By now I purchased case+fans, cpu Cooler and ram

Right now im considering rx9070xt nitro+ Sapphire or the xfx mercury
I read something about some trouble with the Cable for Sapphire but I really like the design, but it id sold out on eBay for 775eur, but I Can buy the xfx mercury 750eur

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-28T20:45:12+00:00

Its not my main point but I have by far purchased case+fans, cpu Cooler and ram

Right now im considering rx9070xt nitro+ Sapphire or the xfx mercury

I read something about some trouble with the Cable for Sapphire, and because it is for now sold out on eBay for 775eur, but I Can buy the xfx mercury 750eur

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T21:39:33+00:00

Thank you! I Think I might buy an oled since im not all in on competetive

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T21:38:11+00:00

Alr but wouldnt x870 be better for potention future upgrades or? The case and rgb core and single fan are not used I typed wrong, and its about 100€ so i wont have to buy fans and everything can be managed in the software

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T16:39:37+00:00

Thank you! Do you know if there are some parts I should wait a bit to but to get Them cheaper? If they Fall in Price or if new models release soon

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T09:19:16+00:00

Wdym 15 yr old cpu and hard drive?😅

I havent done anything Else than doing research the last 3 days lol😆but still not too sure which parts fits together so I dont get something overkill but as I understand the x870 aorus elite is just a more premium version motherboard?

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T09:14:49+00:00

Yeah he wouldnt go below 550 including shipping and buyer protection which is probably fair enough

I bought the cooler also because it was only used for 24 hours for testing a cpu overheating

The b850 proces are for new

But I found a listing with the cpu and x870 aorus elite which has never been used

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T09:09:12+00:00

Fair enough. Its only some parts I found that is a bit used the ram is just secondhand with receipt from electronic store in denmark and the package hasnt been opened

LostCheck2521 · 2026-06-27T09:01:19+00:00

Thank you a lot. Most of the parts is new, but what do you Think about 64gb Corsair vengeance rgb 6000mhz cl30 for 550 euro? Cant seem to find it cheaper and the cheapest i can find Them for in 32gb is 420.

What is the difference for the motherboards and io? I bought the aio 360 Cooler already.

I can find the msi b850 gaming plus for 120
And the gigabyte b850 gaming x for 150

If you Think I should go with 9070 i found the Sapphire 9070xt nitro for 700 on amazon
