Agreed... all these cheap powerboards come with 90cm leads, which really makes them pretty useless a lot of the time. The 1.8m ones really…

What? They are probably one of the best known names in the industry. I was commenting to say that they are unlikely to be bought out and…

They should be... pretty safe? It's a privately started up and owned company run by a Hasidic Jewish family, not some publicly traded…

What are these 'notifications' of which you speak?

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…

I guess this is where that 'username fits' phrase is apt.

Huh, just checked my kid's Keychron and it's a year old K3. We have tried that it works fine wireless (it's about 50cm from the PC) but…

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

Any keyboard with factory silenced switches.

Have they finally replaced their 30 year old injection molds so that the stems are no longer scratchy? Last time I tried Browns were…

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…

Based on my first order several months ago, it takes a handful of days. I suspect it's a manual process. Edit: the comment directly above…
