Brown cherry switches is what matters. I just got a cheap mechanical kb from monoprice. Not noisy, feels good.

If you like ThinkPad keyboards, you'll like the Enermax Aurora Lite... if you can find it. It was already hard enough to find in 2011. I don't think they don't make it anymore. :(

G700 is the poo poo, though. Great mouse.

Steelseries makes very good poo poo that isn't expensive. This is what I'm using now. No complaints.

The keys are more tactile, which makes it easier or faster to type. They also make a super satisfying click. Honestly, you gotta try them to see what they're all about. Going from my keyboard to my Macbook makes the difference extremely noticeable.

I wouldn't hold my breath. I saw that they responded to the petition, but sony is part owner of it (like Demon Souls) and they don't really do PC games anymore now that SOE was sold off.

they're good for typing if you're used to them. if you're not used to them it'll gently caress up your typing for a while. as far as I know/can tell there's no actual reason to have one for gaming except for autism reasons like "I like the sound".

I live in a giant excel spreadsheet/access database so I'm constantly re-writing queries and other gay poo poo, which is why I have a mechanical kb, plus I got it for real cheap.

christoff how is the g502? I'm building a new computer and entertaining a new mouse

I've been messing with it for the last few months and find it enjoyable enough, it doesn't make me mad at video games the way LoL and DOTA do, so that's a plus. The F2P model is bad, but I'm a sucker for games like this and will spend obscene amounts of money on them if given the opportunity.

yeah, the gameplay itself isn't bad. its a watered down version of the mobas out now, with shorter matches. the biggest reason i hated dota2/lol besides the fanbase is the 45 min matches.

im gonna try some more later, i think

The goon presence in the game isn't terrible, so I would recommend joining the goon chat and trying to get into premades, right now, premades wreck shop without too much work.

I actually have the g602 which is pretty great. It doesn't have tunable weights and all that poo poo. You can either run 1 AA or 2 depending on what weight you want. 1 AA lasts months somehow. The side buttons take some getting used to but it's a good mouse imo

The G700 uses AAs that you can recharge by plugging in the mouse or just swapping them. I haven't bothered doing it, but you can adjust the mAh settings so the meter/charging is accurate if you use different batteries than the OE Enerloops (which you shouldn't, they're among the best batteries out there).

I played like 10 games tonight because im bored again and its enjoyable enough

i bought a hero (the Thor tank unit from Starcraft 2) and the best thing I can say about the game is that matches are like 20 minutes, so if you get into a poo poo match then you're not loving around forever waiting to get destroyed

reading through the goon thread is seriously the most sperg-drenched thing ive read in years though. dear loving god

The goon thread is as bad, if not worse, than the league and DOTA threads, I don't keep up with it because there isn't much actual information to be gleaned from there.

Besides the length of the games, the beauty of HOTS, imo, is that it isn't very deep, it's not hard to figure out what to do on each map, and where you need to be at any given time, and the "correct" character builds are pretty obvious, although it seems pretty hard to gently caress up a build.

Having heroes talent gated is a pretty hosed way to give the game a sense of progression, and it's the biggest turnoff to me so far.
