as far as i remember u can no longer overclock non k processors,
backlit is not worth paying 3500 extra,plus tvs board is using OEM cherry stuff,so switches and keycaps can be replaced/ upgraded if any features are required.
N key rollover and anti ghosting are the only thing you need for gaming,if OP wants gaming concentric keycaps or mx red switches,they can be swapped in later,also mx blues are not bad for gaming at all,just well...they make noise
I agree, why use a backlight? use a USB light (i use it at night) or if too much light is the problem then buy some colored paper and put it over your light to make it nice, dim and colorful disco type atmosphere for enjoying games
the one beef I have with TVS gold is the cheery mx blue switches. they drive me MAD. also, the length of cable is too short and it is ps/2 instead of usb. the height/size of the keyboard is also a minor problem for me, i have small hands and i get pain in my wrists if i dont take a break every few hours.
sadly my kb died after just 2 years, i plug it in and boot, the numpad/capslock lights DO work but they are extremely dim and keyboard does not send keys. very weird problem.
if tvs gold had red/black switches, usb connector and a longer cable, i would buy for even 3k rupees. extreme value for money if you can overlook these negatives. but for now im using a cheap ass membrane keyboard with a desi hack.
here's the hack :
i take a regular A4 paper sheet (the sort of stuff u take prints on) and cut it into strips about 1-2 cm wide (can be as long as u want, but i keep mine the length of 4-5 keys).
then i roll them up lengthwise (aka, u take long side and roll it so it rolls into a long pipe). the diameter can be as thin or as thick as you want. thicker = more force/less travel needed before activation and thinner = less force/more travel needed before activation. i keep mine about 3-5 mm thick depending on keys (spacebar and enter get thick rolls)
then i take out keys from a keyboard (remember the layout!!!) and insert these paper rolls between the keys length-wise and put back the keys again.
basically, you are "padding" the keys so they are not harsh to press.
i used to have crazy amounts of pain in my fingers before, ever since i did this, the pain disappeared. i suspect that the constant impacts and reactions from the shitty membranes (the keys pop back when you release and hit your finger, atleast according to my theory) were hurting my fingers.
by my hack, the keys travel up and down smoothly without jerking, so they are easier to type on.
i experimented with putting stuff inside the key "wells" too but the feedback from that was not as good and some keys got stuck after a few weeks of usage, so i abandoned that method.
in parting : choose a nice keyboard. backlight is not essential, comfort is. you can train yourself to touchtype but you cant train yourself to avoid ruining your fingers (you can be like a shaolin monk who have fingers as hard as wood, but you wont feel anything with them lol
)
