    Question Looking for a good mechanical NON GAMING keyboard

    Hi- I am looking for a tactile switch like the romer I have in the G815 or a clicky would be fine as I work at home. The issue with the other K840 (cherry brown) is the key spacing and height makes it it was too easy to activate adjacent keys. The Keychron looks real nice but it is not full...

    [SOLVED] Can you convert a headset 's 3.5 audio jack to USB directly?

    Hi- Can a headset's audio jack be converted to USB without having a soundcard inline? I am trying to adapt my headset so it can use a USB port. I looked online and it seems like all the adapters have sound cards built in. It would be nice to just use my laptop's existing card. Thanks

    [SOLVED] Looking to buy a backup drive. Spec questions.

    Makes sense. Is 8TB for people who store a lot of photos or music? I wouldn't mind getting one that big if the drive would be around until I need that much storage. Chances are, I would just do simple scheduled image backups and backups of important items between image backups.
