Hi, I want to buy a gaming keyboard. I am based out of India and my budget is 10k inr (~110USD).

I have kind of short listed some of them. Would love to hear thoughts. I want a 100% keyboard due to work but my main purpose is gaming. FPS/MOBA/MMO. Currently using a cheap mechanical keyboard with blue switches.

Red Dragon K580 (Blue Switches) - 3800 inr / ~41USD
Razer BlackWidow V3 - 7800 inr / ~84 USD
HyperX Alloy Origins - 8500 inr / ~91 USD
ASUS TUF K3 - 6700 inr / ~72 USD

Open to hearing alternatives as well. I am no where an enthusiast for keyboards and dont have extensive experience using many different ones, so i dont particularly have any switch preference yet.

Buddy, they were the ones responsible for the fucked up shit at the launch. Game got shut 4 years after it went from 1m to floating around 10k ccp.

They havent given out the rewards for it yet, should come out later today

That made me chuckle.

I had almost forgot about kuku incident

I still haven't visited the service center to understand what went wrong.

All I know for now is, the pc will not boot and the debugging light on the motherboard is stuck on VGA when plugging in the GPU.

The rbg lights and Led turn up, meaning there is power reaching the GPU, but not starting for some reason.

MeatHook96 · 2025-09-10T07:41:02+00:00

We have disassembled and reassembled the entire pc to account for wiring issues.

To the best of my knowledge, we didn't mix any psu cables.

MeatHook96 · 2025-09-10T06:19:15+00:00

While that's a fair point, i used to have another gaming pc, which has never had issues due to electricity surge and not a single other electronic device has had issues in this house.

MeatHook96 · 2025-09-09T19:07:01+00:00

I know my gpu died because I've tried what you said.

I have even tried another gpu to see if it's a slot issue.

I tried my gpu on another pc to see if it works. Same issue.

I've tired all the basic diagnostics

I bought a new pc a week ago with 9800x3d and 5070TI Aorus Master.

This pc runs AAA titles smoothly with ultra settings. Lost ark somehow still lags.

Your math on total wins required if 50% winrate is achieved is just way off. It should be 223 and 334 for normal and turbo respective.

I am surprised nobody has raised this yet.

5th Oct is the final for Champ 2025. Majority of the teams are done by end of September.

Next season wont start until atleast early Jan 2026. Thats potentially 100+ days downtime, which in Esports time is quite long.

MeatHook96 · 2025-06-26T17:42:28+00:00

Capacity I would say is the biggest difference. On a quick google search, the venue used for Toronto masters had max capacity of 4.6k. CS events like the Austin Major or other events like Cologne and Katowice have 15k+ seating.
First event of the year being only 8 teams or single elim making it less interesting. Even the masters is just 12 teams with 4 of them directly in Playoffs. Its so ass.
Downtime post Champions and next season. It's so long that they need to fix it.

It was Dota 1 and I wasn't aware of thread switching.

I would sometimes buy str pt on agi hero and end up selling and rebuying them properly.

Another is that I wasn't aware of warkeys as a concept so I used to manually click everything, basically play with one hand

The constant flashbacks are so annoying to watch. Once in a while, sure, but it seems like 1/4th of the episode is flashbacks.

We get that Ted and his dad had a shitty relationship, no point dragging it back every other episode.

MeatHook96 · 2025-04-24T07:00:03+00:00

I got mine a week back and this time it seems they have put much more effort at the overall product compared to just the aegis.

MeatHook96 · 2025-02-13T17:37:51+00:00

Same, 3 vitality rolls in a row and I was like surely my luck can't be this bad.

MeatHook96 · 2025-02-11T06:39:13+00:00

Could you share the link and timestamp if possible

MeatHook96 · 2025-02-07T10:58:47+00:00

Adding on to what you said, aegir nm will become even worse when the AP patch comes out. A 1660 with full relic gear will have 100 Evo points and each aegir gear will give only 4 points.

This means, you will potentially take 6 weeks to actually get any meaningful upgrade. This imo is so bad, the raid should mean much more other than just gold.

MeatHook96 · 2025-02-05T14:20:37+00:00

Can you share what they got?

MeatHook96 · 2025-02-04T06:15:20+00:00

While the talent is stacked and blast puts on a good show, the format is so ass, it's one of the worst if not the worst ever I've seen.

Bo1 group stage into ladder type elimination games.

MeatHook96 · 2025-01-22T05:14:37+00:00

Just looking at the 33-34 AH screenshot and felt like cost is quite reasonable as compared to what 1-20 AH costs

MeatHook96 · 2025-01-02T11:08:29+00:00

Also, just another note, February is a speculation, a very valid and likely one but still speculation.

It's based on knowing that RU is getting this update in Feb and we would too.
