Newegg used to be a fantastic company. Several years ago they were bought out by a mainland Chinese company and have turned to crap. It'd…

Something **inane** with ra**nd**om bold **words**. (Thought that's a white lie, since I discovered the Ignore function.)

Never touched an Alienware, but I would 100% buy a Keychron over one sight unseen.

Of all the stock Cherry MX switches, browns are... the least bad. But they still suck. (I'd only buy a board with Cherry MX if the switches…
