  • I have a Keychron K2 with some retro looking keycaps and blue switches. I don’t know for sure how it compares to the K7 though.

    It’s a really great keyboard, solidly built, not too heavy, nice sounding and even nicer to type on. The battery holds up pretty well, I rarely have to charge it.

    I don’t carry it around but it is pretty portable.

    The only thing I‘m missing from my original MacBooks keyboard is the little globe button on the bottom left for emojis, special characters and such. But this is mapped to another key combination so all is well. And it is pretty high, you might need a wrist rest for very long typing sessions. In my usecase (gaming and a few hours of uni a day) I don’t struggle with this.

    It is connected via bluetooth with up to three devices at a time and you can swap between them via a keyboard shortcut. It has a switch for MacOS/iOS and Windows/Android so swapping between devices is almost seamless.

    There is no software for it afaik. For me thats a plus (less bloatware on my devices), but if you want highly customized lighting or super elaborate custom behavior, it might be a minus.

    Overall this is a great little keyboard, especially considering that I got mine on sale for 50 or 60€.

    I bought AirPods Max from Amazon used and they were still tied to the previous owner.

    Even though I send receipts and everything to Apple, they said they cannot remove the connection to the previous owner’s account.

    Just to keep this in mind, what you said might not work every time.






  • This is kinda true. In my opinion there is no point in locking the fps to 60 when you could also be getting 90 fps on a 120hz screen. Might as well use those frames as long as they come in regular intervals.

    The lower the fps / hz the bigger the intervals between frames and refreshes and the more noticeable the stuttering and lag. If you exceed consistent 60 fps it should all feel roughly the same. There is no need to get an expensive 240hz screen to game at 100 - 120fps. 120hz or 144hz is enough for that. (As always depending on what you do with it, a professional CS player might need the higher Hertz)
