  1. @decryption well, $360 is objectively a lot for a keyboard – especially for those of us who grew up poor & will never really be able to shake all the things that flow from that experience 💁‍♀️

    I’m interested to know which #keeb, & what are the 🦄 features that draw you to it over other keebs 👀 (I’m not looking to dissuade you, ofc., just interested)
     
     
    for me, I’ve owned multiple #MechKeebs, but I don’t think I’ve paid more than ~$150 for any of them and most were ~$120-$130 (and I agonised over spending the money on my first one for, I suspect, similar reasons)

    but I have pretty basic requirements for #keebs:

    – mech switches (or equivalents, I guess, I haven’t really strayed much from Cherry MXes)

    good switches – I’ve tried Cherry MX browns, blues, reds, & LP reds (on my portable keeb) but tend to prefer blues for both the tactility & the sound (unless I’m in an office where such noises might get me stabbed in the eye with a fork 🤪)

    – decent RGB lighting (with shine-through keycap legends), both for the ~~cYb3rpUnk~~ aesthetic 🤪 & for allowing me to actually see the keycap legends[1] in suboptimal office lighting 😩

    – not-shit software for setting / saving lighting profiles (I’m givin’ you side-eye, #CoolerMaster 😮‍💨) OR

    – decent on-keeb capabilities for setting RGB layout & profiles (which is the one area that Cooler Master[2] actually do – er, did 🪦 – pretty well)

    I’m too old[3] to re-train my muscle memory to a split ortho layout, so I haven’t / won’t (? 🤔) explored that particular expensive rabbit hole…
     
    weirdly, for whatever reason keebs are one of the few areas that I’ve been able to pretty quickly get to “this’ll do nicely, I don’t need to keep agonising over optimising this on an ongoing basis…” 🎉
     
     
     
    1 see [3]

    2 my daily drivers (home / work / portable) are all Cooler Masters at this point, with a couple of other cheapies floating around for various projects that I may or may not ever get to 🙃

    3 not really 😜 but the typing performance hit is a PiTA akin to when I’ve attempted to finally become fully touch-typing capable – I was hunt-&-pecking on a terrible chiclet keyboard for my first computer, which was before I got to do a typing elective in secondary school (I fell in the gap between “teach the girls typing so they can be secretaries” & “teach all the kids typing so they can use a computer effectively” – which TBH I’m not sure we ever actually did in Aus, just somehow assuming that kids would become touch typists by osmosis like we assume that they’ll become “good at computers” or “digital natives” by repeatedly pushing buttons on their pocket rectangles until the slot-machine pays out & then just remembering the sequence of button pushes…[4])

    4 …but I digress 🤪

  14. @jojoeffe when I was schlepping every day to an office I bought a #CoolerMaster #SK622 – see scorptec.com.au/product/keyboa

    it’s a hybrid wired + wireless (BT 4.0), TKL 60% layout with low-profile Cherry MX switches (red, brown, blue), RGB backlighting, multi-device pairing & switching, & softkey switching between Mac & Win/Lin key layouts (the keys have legends for Mac & Win). it’s doesn’t have hot-swappable switches though but otherwise I think it would tick all your boxes

    I bought this one with reds because this one was intended for a crowded open-plan office (😩) & I didn’t want to be stabbed in the neck with a fork… 😜

    it’s also a great travel keyboard (it’s just 450g) should you have that need

    I had no end of trouble with pairing the first one they shipped, but replacement worked well without any shenanigans

    unfortunately (🤔) Cooler Master seem to have ditched their mech keyboard business, but you can find them on ebay new (🤞) for about the same as what mine cost in Dec 2022 (AUD$179 + $25 shipping & insurance)

    their RGB keyboards are on-device configurable so you don’t need to use their (completely terrible) software to configure & switch between multiple layouts unless you want to do something extra-fancy or save your profiles for transfer to another keyboard (IIRC this model supports 4 saved profiles like the rest of their keebs but it’s been a while since I’ve used it in anger)

    it seems like the white version was less popular than the “space grey” version, as there are many more of those on ebay – but if that’s your jam then you’re in luck

  16. #CoolerMaster, I REALLY was not aware of your game.

    Y'all agreed to send me the absolute latest iteration of my PSU as "replacement", ATX version 3.1 - eventho initially u guys offered the version 3.0, which would've already been an "upgrade" to my version 2.4 PSU.

    Then y'all ignored my request for your shipping details for me to send my PSU back to, cos apparently y'all don't even need it. Instead, you guys told me that you were going to ship it out the day after, which was yesterday, via
    #FedEx.

    ... and yet somehow it's arrived today, at 12.30pm. I immediately thought, wow, they must've had a warehouse or partner here in Malaysia for it to arrive so quickly - then I checked the tracking details and found out that this package was from Taiwan :))

    So this thing got in the hands of FedEx @ Taiwan yesterday at 5pm -> it then arrived in the Philippines hours later at 12pm -> it then reached China earlier today at 2am -> arrived in Malaysia at 5am -> finally delivered to my home at 12.30pm. Apparently CM had sent it through FedEx's International Priority service... AND FOR WHAT. I can wait, guys
    😭

    As if that wasn't enough, from our emails, I was under the impression that they were only going to send the new PSU, minus the cables except for the ones that weren't included/compatible with my current PSU.. that might explain why they're not asking for mine, cos
    technically that would mean I had enough cables to use only 1 PSU, despite having 2.

    But no... you guys had actually sent the complete package. So now, I just have... 2 working PSUs. Mind you, my existing PSU isn't even
    broken, it's partially faulty sure, as it just started exhibiting loud whining noises - really annoying, but still very usable and capable of a PSU. And now I have 2 of them. I could technically risk my life and try replacing the fans on the old PSU and have 2 perfect PSUs if I wanted to.

    Sorry for the unexpectedly long rant/gushing over Cooler Master's
    exemplary warranty return/customer support service. I won't stop buying from them, ever.

  17. If you have any interest in how the Global #Economy works and how the Trump #Tarrifs will impact the #IT industry then check out this documentary by @gamersnexus

    While it concentrates on the retail IT space many of the topics and discussions with manufacturers and importers worldwide will also impact on #InfoSec and corporate IT.

    This is a long documentary as it's a complex topic with many aspects that I and you probably didn't take into account 🫢

  18. Wow, wow, wow #CoolerMaster, I'm not aware of your freaking warranty game. I believe all their PSUs have 10 years of warranty, or at least some of them maybe have at least 5 years.

    Last time I had an issue with a CM PSU (MWE Gold 750), I believe it was caused by exposure to water to a peripheral, which shorted the PSU or something like that. In that instance, I sent it back to the retailer and not CM directly, and got a replacement afterwards. That PSU is still holding strong running 24/7 for one of my
    #homelab server nodes, for 5 years now.

    This time, my V850 SFX Gold PSU which came with my
    #NR200PMax case, still works but is making loud, whining noises since a few months ago. Too lazy to do anything about it initially, I then decided to contact both CM and my retailer I got the case from yesterday. Both responded pretty much immediately, and I initially thought it'd prolly be easier if I go through my retailer which had asked me to either send it back to them via courier or in person at their store ~30 mins away from me.

    While all this was happening, CM emailed me that they were going to send me the newer ATX 3.0 version of their PSU (I believe mine was the older ATX 2.4 version) and that they needed my shipping information. I gave my information, but also very briefly mentioned if it was better if I were to get the latest ATX 3.1 version instead that they're also selling - and that I'd be open to adding some money if they thought that'd be better (than the 3.0 version). At the same time, I also asked them for THEIR shipping details, so I can send my PSU back.

    And then a couple of hours later, they've just replied to me saying that they're sending me the latest ATX 3.1 version, and that it's already otw to me via FedEx
    😭 I didn't even need to send my current PSU back, tho I assume they'll only be sending me the new PSU and some new cables that weren't included/compatible with my old PSU. That's crazy kind of them, no?

  19. I love the #CoolerMaster #NR200PMax case, all my future #PC builds will prolly continue to be in this case, but god the V850 SFX Gold #PSU inside it has become SO incredibly loud, whiny, and annoying. I don't think I've a choice other than to replace it entirely, but it doesn't seem there's a clear cut choice/recommendation for an SFX PSU with an equivalent power rating that is both reliable/long-lasting and guarantees no loud/whiny noises after years in operation.. bcos it isn't exactly ideal to replace the PSU again and again.
