there's a ffa mod called I think promod where healthpacks drop out of killed players. The server i tried it on was laggy as gently caress but that might be it groaning under the weight of 30 something players spraying continuously.

it seems like a really dumb format to me that it took several days to determine that all 4 teams in group A were going to be 3-3

Haven't been following that tournament but it sounds nuts. Goal difference works in footballs/soccer leagues because the season is so long but for a few matches of cs I think not.

Mirroring this. I have the Corsair Strafe and I'm still extremely happy with it. The k70 is a great option as well. Corsair keyboards own.

oh you dont want a mechanical keyboard then, youre not gonna find one for under $50 that ticks any of your boxes t swift. go to your local walmart and go to the electronics, they will have a keyboard that has all the media control stuff on it for like $20

They weren't expecting literally every team in group A to split literally every series, but yeah. Epicenter already announced they won't do that format again.

Despite the hiccups, still an interesting tournament. Fnatic finding form, Dignitas looking top tier, Hellraisers playing surprisingly good.

You can hear 3/4 of people's keyboards anyway, because apparently everyone is a neanderthal and beats the poo poo out of their keyboards. I was always amazed at the amount of people the bought new keyboards every 1-3 years, until voice chat became a standard thing, and now it all makes sense.

This is what I game on:


Kidding, I bought a WASD Custom V1 w/ browns back in like 2011 (when brown and red were the only real choices), been using it so long the keys I use in CSGO/SC2 are polished :3:

The V2s have built in media functions. If I was going to build one right now I'd get clears w/ 2mm spacers. Way over your budget tho.

Before you balk at the price remember that they'll print any layout you want. I've been iterating on a US English/Cyrillic/Korean layout for a while now. They keep releasing additional keycap options so I keep waiting

I found out about this company through the Korean SC2 scene, I have the 139th keyboard they made lol. Incredible customer support

They only have like 9 keycap colors back then, I made sure to use all of them.

I don't get this game. How does a MG3 fail to use their smoke and flash on a retake of B? How does a DMG fail to buy any grenades whatsoever in a full buy round?

And how bad am I if I'm only MG1 despite actually using grenades? :negative:

To be fair if on a retake you should probably coordinate with your buddies on when you are going to flash so you don't gently caress them hard so if you don't cooperate much not flashing is the more altruistic move.

Probably it's because it wouldn't be hard to get Global even without grenades. It's a small handicap if you can do everything else.

I really, really dislike the way their clears feel, but I guess this is probably just a clears thing and not a WASD thing. I'm still working on a custom keycap set for one with more tactile switches and may never complete it.

Any Cherry switch is 100x better than any non mechanical key. The colors are just down to preference, really.

They sell things like this but that is a big portion of your budget for something that isn't very practical to test. Best Buy and the likes have a Razer keyboard at best from what I have seen, but maybe something like Fry's or Microcenter? I find myself typing more accurately on blues (super clicky) than reds (no click).
