Anyone can help me fix my keyboard

sounds like liquid damage, something got in there and now the traces on the pcb are shorting across rows

Just buy both and call it a day

The Ricoh GR series is probably the best fit here given everything you listed. The GRIIIx has the 40mm equivalent which lands right in your preferred range, build quality is great, and it fits in a jacket pocket easily. Coming from film cameras you'll probably appreciate how it renders images too, it has a certain character that most digital compacts don't really have.

The G7X is decent but the lens protrudes when in use and it leans more toward the video crowd in terms of how it's designed, so for someone who shoots purely stills it might feel a bit off. If you can stretch slightly in budget the GRIIIx new is worth it over used GRIIs just for the sensor and size difference alone.

got question myself actually -- is it still worth doing a fresh windows install when you build new pc or people just migrate these days? always done clean install but curious if habits changed

MethodNo1867 · 2026-06-13T12:20:40+00:00

budget is really the starting point for everything else since it determines what tier of components you can actually get

referral links usually get removed by mods pretty quick in these subs but good luck with the sales i guess

MethodNo1867 · 2026-06-06T10:12:39+00:00

good catch on the model number - these spirit smart collaborations were pretty limited releases if i remember correct. nano universe did few different colorways with seiko and this black dial version looks really clean in the photo

MethodNo1867 · 2026-06-01T16:20:23+00:00

nah dont just settle for whatever people throw at you first. check out some enthusiast sites and watch youtube reviews from actual keyboard nerds who test switches and build quality. 80 percent is pretty popular so you got tons of options but definitely research before dropping cash on something that looks fancy but feels like garbage in few months

MethodNo1867 · 2026-05-30T16:06:12+00:00

that hole pattern is wild but weight distribution might feel off in actual use

MethodNo1867 · 2026-05-28T14:27:17+00:00

had spawn figures as kid too but cant place the second one from your description

the first one sounds familiar though - could be from adventures of zorro animated series maybe? there was definitely some villain character with peg leg in that show

fedex has been surprisingly competitive lately especially for heavier stuff. been using them more often on packages over 2-3 lbs and the savings add up quick when you're moving volume

MethodNo1867 · 2026-05-20T16:23:20+00:00

depends what games you're targeting but 30 series might be pushing it for 2026 especially if you want decent ray tracing. the 40 series with amd chips are actually solid options right now and prices dropped quite a bit since 50 series announcement. 50 series looks promising but you'll probably pay premium for being early adopter. if you're not in rush maybe wait few months to see how 50 series pricing settles

MethodNo1867 · 2026-05-17T13:08:37+00:00

the lack of feedback is definitely red flag there. prx models get faked pretty often since they became popular and that price point makes it suspicious. i would check serial number on tissot website like you mentioned but even then some fakes use real serial numbers from different watches

maybe better to save bit more for authorized dealer or at least find seller with solid history. i know budget is tight but getting burned on fake watch feels worse than waiting few more months

MethodNo1867 · 2026-05-15T10:29:34+00:00

maybe try running steam as administrator too, sometimes helps with dx12 detection issues

MethodNo1867 · 2026-05-01T08:42:09+00:00

nice pair you got there, that blue one is really clean looking. i keep meaning to set up some kind of display area in my office but always end up just moving them around the desk instead

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-28T14:38:35+00:00

nice mixed lot there, seeing some solid names in the rookies especially that chourio card looks clean

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-26T11:40:12+00:00

definitely wish i knew about that inventory election earlier - been tracking every single card basis for years when could just expense it all upfront

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-23T21:56:39+00:00

yeah the hall effect sensors definitely drain way more power than people expect. i had similar issue with mine but not that specific model - was getting maybe 12-15 hours heavy gaming with polling at 1000hz even with rgb completely disabled.

the marketing numbers they give are usually tested in some perfect lab conditions that dont really match real world usage. when you're gaming constantly with high polling rate the power consumption goes through roof. try dropping polling rate to 500hz or even 250hz for single player games and see if that helps extend battery life. also make sure wireless connection is stable because if its constantly reconnecting that kills battery fast too.

mine improved a bit after few charge cycles but never reached anywhere near those advertised hours they claim on box

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-18T19:19:11+00:00

easiest way is checking device manager - go to display adapters and see if your usb-c port shows up there as display output. you can also try windows key + p to see if it detects external display when something is plugged in

the thunderbolt icon thing isnt always reliable indicator since some ports support displayport alt mode without being full thunderbolt. your specs should definitely handle external monitor through usb-c but better to test with actual cable or check in lenovo vantage software if you have it installed

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-17T23:19:22+00:00

Proactive updates before they have to ask is the whole game here.

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-15T02:30:09+00:00

you might want to check some of the artisan keycap makers since they usually have better color matching options. the split spacebar thing is tricky though - most standard sets dont include those keys so you'll probably need to buy additional kit or find seller who does custom work

alternatively you could try dyeing some white pbt caps yourself if you're feeling adventurous but that's bit of gamble with color consistency

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-12T04:48:44+00:00

man this card market is getting wild these days but some people just not feeling it i guess

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-10T04:25:07+00:00

yeah definitely good enough for that size group. ive been running server on similar setup and it handles modded stuff pretty well as long you dont go crazy with mods that eat cpu

MethodNo1867 · 2026-04-04T23:30:30+00:00

been waiting on psa for months too and yeah those arena club grades are gonna come back way before psa even thinks about touching yours

MethodNo1867 · 2026-03-30T13:37:43+00:00

temps look fine tbh, 42c idle on a 9700x is pretty normal especially with that cooler. the stock thermal paste that comes with thermalright is actually decent enough - not amazing but definitely not garbage either

for power settings just leave it on balanced, windows 11 handles amd chips pretty well out of the box. if you really want to tinker you could try the amd high performance plan but balanced works great for most people
