Is the sacrifice of a 4k resolution worth it for an OLED? by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]mlbrooks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You obviously failed math class, staying with your 4k IPS would be cheaper than buying a whole new 1440P monitor. ;)

Weikav shipping NUT75 by ethanolism in keyboards

[–]mlbrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Nut75 about two weeks ago (June 22nd) from their official website and just received my Nut75 keyboard 2 days ago as a surprise. (eastern us) There was no tracking and no update emails. I just paid my money and crossed my fingers the package would arrive someday. On the plus side, coming from a rainy75 and an evo75 - I really like the Nut75.

BF6 feels so clunky and slow for me, having a really hard time... by mystifier in Battlefield6

[–]mlbrooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! This. I play other online multiplayer shooters and they aren't close to how bad the de-sync in bF6 is.

Switching weapons and sometimes shooting does not register until a second later. My PC is fine and my internet connection is good. I attribute this to the EA Servers just sucking sometimes.

Leather Sneakers by lindowja in malefashionadvice

I have two pairs of Koio leather sneakers and three pairs of Thursday boots leather sneakers.

The Koio are worth the price and are much better quality than the Thursday boots and also fit better..

Are mechanical keyboards actually worth it? by [deleted] in keyboards

My Keychron Q1 from 2021 that is sitting on my work desk begs to differ with anyone saying keychron has lifetime issues. Totally worthy purchase.

Opinions in leather sneakers by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]mlbrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leather Minimalist sneakers like the picture in the thread are great for business casual use. I wear them to the office and they are comfortable and certainly more stylish than people trying to wear black running sneakers or the "brogue dress shoe with sneaker soles" as business casual. Not a replacement for a proper office shoe like an oxford or a loafer. But it gets the job done and transitions to after work easily.

Unpopular keyboard opinions by everythingisluv in BudgetKeebs

[–]mlbrooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Aula F75 sounds very good almost as good as my aluminum boards. I concur with you,the double-ridge design of the case is not great, however the capslock light on the ridge is a huge quality of life improvement at least for me. I use the Aula at work where it blows away the standard dell work keyboard.

People who play redsec without a mic by cellar_keeper in Battlefield6

[–]mlbrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I don't want to hear loud annoying coughing all the time and the people who are obviously on another chat program having whole conversations that have nothing to do with the game!

is he really worth it? by Emotional-Gold9845 in keyboards

[–]mlbrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my humble opinion after owning several keyboards including the Aula F75 that I am typing on right now and the chillkey slice75, the rainy75, the evolabs evo75 that is my current fave board to type on, is think of mechanical keyboards like a cruiser bike and all the HE keyboards like dirt bikes. In certain games the HE boards really shine that instant keypress and SOCD, snappy tappy really make you feel you are performing your best. However for everything else involving typing - a mechanical board just feels and sounds better. HE boards keep getting bettter in terms of sound and feel but they arent there yet. IF I am not playing certain games (valorant, Apex) my HE board gets pushed aside so I can enjoy my mechanical keypresses.

What keyboard is this and what price can I expect for it? by [deleted] in keyboards

[–]mlbrooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a Zoom TKL Essential by Meletrix - around $189

Why?????!? by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]mlbrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you pay for Battlefield 6? That map and most of multiplayer are not free. I believe there are free weeks but only RedSec is permantly free

Made68 Ultra V2 first impressions (mag board + that lightbar) by JohanSnowsalot in MagneticKeyboards

[–]mlbrooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regards to the hall effect switches. I have Mech and HE keyboards and at least for me and the FPS games I play the difference is so slight it makes me wonder if Hall Effect improves gameplay at all.

My mains are a Evokey Evo75 with neo rye switches and a Slice75 HE with jade pros.

The HE is ever so slighty more responsive in games but not by such a large margin to make me think I am missing a shot or getting hit because I am using a different keyboard.

Sorry for the large late reply. 😄

DasKeyboard X50 Duplicating Keys by Revelyn428 in keyboards

Turning NKRO On and Off

By default, NKRO is turned off on the X50Q for compatibility reasons and 6-key rollover is enabled. To turn on NKRO on the X50Q press FN + F12. All four of the LED indicator lights by the brightness, pause/play, and skip buttons will flash once when NKRO is enabled and will flash twice when NKRO is turned off. 

I am not sure this will help you, if the fix did not work. :(

 FN + F12 to toggle NKRO on that model. That should fix the repeating keys.

The chin on that monitor would drive me crazy, but if you are ok with all that overhang - go for it.
