@Black_Hawk I envy you. Had about half dozen HWs myself in childhood. One day i come back from school. My honourable mother had packed them in a det detergent powder packet and handed them all over to my lady English tutor. I sobbed for months. Even after almost 30 years i still ask my mother about them and clearly asserted that I'll never forgive her for such heinous crime.
Point is, that's what HWs are. Take care of them well. Really happy for you.
 
The vertical monitor has much better colors than the other one in this picture to me. Is that the Acer VG280k?
It is indeed the vg280k. The reason it looks like it has better colors is due to several reasons, the vg280k is not clamped to srgb, and colors are over saturated, and the image taken with my phone does not capture the colors being displayed correctly. You can get similar colors from the OLED in the "Standard" profile, which expands srgb colors into the panel native color space, and looks very saturated.

Thank you. I don't think it looks oversaturated but "correct" based on the picture, relative to each other. It might be different in real life or with settings I can't say.

Was contacted by Kiiboom offering to send a keyboard and wrist rest free of charge in exchange for a review. Apparently they liked my review of the Bridge75 Plus posted on another forum online just that much lol

Well, after about 1.5weeks, here it is! Also got a new deskmat to complete the blue theme :)

Keyboard: Kiiboom Loop 75
Keycaps: GMK Blue Samurai clones
Switches: MMD Princess V3 Linear
Deskmat: Senkai
