Yep, don't miss out by waiting until it is useful.

Yeah, I've given up on eBay and canned my eBay Plus. Price jacking during deals and sellers using dodgy couriers means I'm happier with…

macrocephalic on Alienware RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard AW410K (Cherry MX Brown Switch) $88 Delivered @ Dell

Case resonance is a huge factor too. Pack that bad boy with foam if it's hollow.

leroy on TP-Link Deco M5 Mesh Wi-Fi Router System (3-Pack) $159.20 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Wired backhaul means linking the nodes with ethernet. Good idea if you can. You can also plug devices into the nodes as well.

Interesting, as I recently raised a dispute for the wrong item. Seller ghosted me, so AliEx just refunded me very quickly. Granted it was a…

Used the optical blacks for about 2 years. If you're happy to crack these open and apply some Krytox, they're awesomely smooth.

Valid, but we still know very little about these in terms of pricing and availability. We don't know *when or even if* they'll be available…

easternculture on Elgato Wave Mic Arm (High Rise) Black $119 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Maybe having a giggle, but the cheap arms wobble, don't support as much weight, and don't have cable routing. I couldn't personally justify…

Hypermajoris on [eBay Plus] Razer Basilisk V3 Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse White $127.20 Delivered @ Razer eBay

I just got a 3rd party dock off Aliexpress for like $25 for my Naga Pro. No RGB, but I couldn't care less.

corgi-runner on Corsair PBT DOUBLE-SHOT PRO Keycap Mod Kit Set (Green or Red) $19 + Delivery ($0 SYD C&C/ mVIP) @ Mwave

Doesn't look like it. K63 has non-standard mods (1u Windows for instance), whereas this set is standard layout.

rifter on Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 8.7" (Wi-Fi+4G) – Graphite/4GB+64GB Delivered $352.89 Delivered @ Oztradewithyou via eBay AU

You don't want this one though. 800px wide TFT is absolutely bottom of the barrel.

Memory is only half the picture, but the SoC isn't amazing, either. On the plus side, you won't be able to tell due to the awful screen…

Wiadro on SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Mechanical Keyboard $229.95 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU

It looks like another $30 60% GK61 clone, but it's not. It's using Hall Effect sensors, so the tech is quite different and equivalent…

Polaremail on ZOTAC GeForce GT 730 Zone Edition 4GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 X16 (X8 Lanes) $111.90 Delivered @ Amazon AU

My theory is sellers stock stuff like this as a direct swap for replacing parts where they don't care about the value. ie. wealthy trader…

Namidairo on Razer PBT Shinethrough Keycaps Set (Pink or Green) $10 + $8.95/$9.95 Shipping ($0 C&C NSW SA VIC) + Surcharge @ Centre Com

GMK is all ABS, though. Well-crafted but it will shine. If PBT is shining easily, it's usually a High-ABS blend, like Akko.

troyww on Keychron V1 QMK 75% Hot-Swappable Brown Switch Mechanical Keyboard - Carbon Black $129 Delivered + Surcharge @ Centre Com

Gasket vs tray mount makes a huge difference. If the V series had gaskets it would feel similar to Q. Main reason to go V-series is VIA/QMK…

Yeah, $54 is awesome value for a complete hotswap gasket board. It is backlit, just the keys aren't shine-through. Given the retro…

Blue switches in a large cheap keyboard (ie. hollow and resonant) are about as loud as keyboards get.

Good catch.
