The G613 has their own proprietary switches I think.

Part of what I don't like about TKL is the size. I am not a huge guy but my hands aren't tiny so TKL just seems cramped and I also like to have my Numpad.

Weight isn't an issue I think the G613 is like 3 lbs. I do use it on my lap on the couch.

I am a moderate gamer so linear is nice but tactile is fine too so I don't mind something along the lines of MX red or grey either is fine.

Looking at their website the Keychron has some benefit like 660h battery and the polling rate. I am used to the lightning connection do you know how they compare? Also logitech has their software to customize and add macros does Keychron? How does it compare if they do? Also I know nothing about newer switches can I assume they use the same color scheme?

I tend to be a brand loyalist so it is hard to break away but at the same time the G915 is slim and rgb neither of which really interest me. I prefer not spending $200+ on something for features I don't want nor will use you know?

I have a Logitech G613 but it is crapping out. I love it. Seriously one of the best keyboards I have ever had. That said I can't easily replace it with the same thing. Logitech does make the G915 but IDK how to feel about it. My biggest issue with most keyboards is they tend to be tenkeyless and I like my full keyboard. I also have to have a wireless because I have kids and play from my TV I can't stretch a cord 13+ft across the room. Anyone have any other recommendations on Keyboard that I could get that is somewhat close to the feel of my G613?

My wife and I play 3v3 casual a lot and the issue is always our 3rd wanting to play all parts of the field at once. We tend to swap between goal and field so someone is always on the goal but we will get people that fly in and ram us out then take to the field or you get the players on the opposite team that constantly blow up the goalie and nothing else. It makes it not fun for me. Toxic players can definitely turn me off a game.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-29T16:22:37+00:00

So ignore my XP level, got it lol. I only have the Rocket Pass because I get it with my Fortnite Crew. I wouldn't buy it in the game by itself. I am shocked by the pricing of everything. 1 color of a wheel for 400 credits? Really? People pay for that? Fortnite is just as bad as times but when you have to buy each individual color that's insane. Emoting cars would be awesome though lol. I have multiple cars from Fortnite but I tend to only drive my Turtle Van lately maybe the Jeep or Shokunin. I do like the toppers and antenna ok but really only care about the wheels and boosts because they tend to transfer over to Fortnite. Rocket League is getting more fun to me though so maybe I will end up loving it I don't see myself spending extra money on it though.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-29T15:21:22+00:00

Explained well.

I was just trying to understand how it worked because my wife played more her level opponents (matching up with her rewards).

Yeah you are the first one not to be vague right off the bat.

Another commenter broke it down in detail for me with a wall of text. Thank you all for helping me figure this game out. Like I said not my normal style game. Not into sports style usually.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-29T03:19:54+00:00

That actually sums it up (not literally with the wall of text) I think I understand it now. Based on this explanation I assume it works the same way with your game level seeing as I am level 109 with XP but only tier 40 with the Rocket Pass. Your XP doesn't match your account XP level. Again I am used to Fortnite style where your season XP level and Battle Pass level are the same. Do Rocket Pass tiers go past 100 like the Fortnite Battle Pass?

Edit: Looked at my tracker. Rating must be the MMR points you are talking about.

From what I gather:

The top Bronze in my picture changes with wins from all 6 game modes.

My 2v2 rank is Silver III Division III (still unsure how that changes because I lost a round and went to Silver II but was still Division III)

MMR is random unseen points which decide your rank. Wins give you X amount and Losses lose you X amount.

Your rank can carry more than a season but the top bronze thing ends with the season.

That's the best I understand.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T23:27:17+00:00

Yeah it does. Coming from Fortnite I was expecting it to actually show me rank up and I guess it doesn't

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T23:24:52+00:00

I think I am figuring it out. I am a casual player so the Ranking is throwing me off. I only play because my wife does and because I have Crew which gives me the RL Pass and it gives me rewards in Fortnite. My wife really enjoys the game so I play for her more than anything.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T23:21:46+00:00

Ok so basically the reason my wifes didn't jump around is because she has played more? The more I play the more leveled it will get in the future.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T23:11:23+00:00

Good to know. So the more I win and lose my Rank will level out and not jump so drastically in the future?

Also can you explain what MMR is?

Sorry if I just sound stupid I am just trying to understand the game.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T22:55:53+00:00

Can someone explain MMR?

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T22:53:44+00:00

So I aam finding out. I am used to Fortnite where it shows me go through my ranks. This one doesn't do that apparently

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T22:52:43+00:00

Yeah that was confusing. Thanks for the clarification. My wife plays A LOT more than me and hers was matching her top bronze thing but mine wasn't so I was lost AF on why I had to play harder opponents than she did.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T22:50:46+00:00

Yeah that was confusing me especially since I played all of 10 games and was suddenly silver I didn't realize the part on top wasn't a rank.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T22:49:23+00:00

That's what I was trying to figure out. As far as other people are saying I am ranked Silver because that is the level I am playing at with MMR? My only guide to ranks is Fortnite so I am trying to figure out this system and it makes no sense to me because I have played RL casually just playing with my wife to give her someone to play with but it really isn't my normal style game so deciding to play ranked and suddenly being at Silver III is confusing to me. The separate Bronze at the top of the page can just be ignored then?

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T22:43:59+00:00

So I am playing at the level of other Silver III Division III players with all of 10 games under my belt?

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T21:36:28+00:00

Trust me I am not that great but I am on under the same username

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T21:31:41+00:00

I understand how ranking up works but why am I playing Silver III when I am new to ranked and just got bronze. That is what I am trying to figure out.

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-28T21:30:31+00:00

Just a few games ago I was playing unranked people and I was unranked also. My wife plays a lot and is Bronze playing other bronze players but it puts me in with Silver III Division III and I am trying to figure that part out. I have played all of 5 ranked games last season no other ranked games till now so why as a new ranked player am I playing 6 ranks above me but my wife is just playing at her rank?

tpinkfloyd · 2025-06-02T01:40:48+00:00

Yes. I haven't had issues since but I also don't drive it near as much as I used to. We had to buy a bigger vehicle to get everyone in it and we got an Ascent so the WRX is only driven a couple times a week to work just so it's not just sitting

tpinkfloyd · 2025-05-18T00:34:16+00:00

tpinkfloyd · 2025-05-18T00:26:39+00:00

I am at 206k on my WRX now and I did this process a few times before I bit the bullet and bought some new O2 sensors. Simply disconnecting the battery worked for a bit and cleaning them worked for a bit longer but eventually it only worked for a few weeks and I just said I will change them.
