So these no-name brands you guys purchase, what happens if they just die on you? Checked the entire website but there's nothing about warranty for these particular keyboards. 6.5k for a hot swappable keyboard is very good but...

Just because you haven't heard of these brands doesn't mean they are no name. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

Indeed it is. How about answering the main part of the query pertaining to the warranty. Not everyone may be as affluent as you

Die how you mean? I'm not aware. Even Keychron offers only 1 year warranty.
Being my first keeb, warranty did cross my mind, but didn't linger for long since the pros outweighed the cons. Genesis PC offers 1 month warranty for manufacturing defects, if any.
The board weighs 900g and is sturdy enough. The switches can always be replaced and I did buy this with that in mind, but honestly the stock switches aren't bad at all. I'm just enjoying how this spacebar thocks (by my amateur-ish standards).
Check Epomaker.com, you'll find Ajazz and many other brands there, most of which are well reviewed and received. I remember you were interested in Keychron, not sure which model but K2v2 hot-swap is available here now I think.
But I'd also suggest you look at RK84 (instead of K2) - I might have gone for this if it was available, is cheaper too. But it was all pre-ordered and I was not guaranteed to get one. Royal Kludge (RK) is pretty well known and reviewed.
For some of these keyboards the internals are similar/same and they are just rebranded with minor tweaks. Ajazz K870T ~ Rakk Lam Ang Pro which was well known in the Philippines and was sought-after (to an extent?) in the US too. The Epomaker EP84 ~ Keycool 84 (which was available in the US). There are probably many like this but I'm not aware of all. I outright didn't consider Ducky and the likes because of the price and for being non-hot-swap.

I don't know how things die, something fails, some IC or the other and it dies I suppose. That's why people consider brand before purchasing a product, a renowned, time tested brand.
Yes, I'm very much interested in a hot swappable keyboard. Been looking for one for so long. Considered the Keychron (don't remember which model) but found that Asian girl's YouTube who used to stand by Keychron for past couple of years but suddenly took u turn and now Keychron is bad. Decided then that's what I want to avoid, these reviewers who keep changing their stance every couple of years or so. I'm not sure about these Epomaker or Ajazz, but I am about to check reviews for them. However the way everything is going eventually may have to end up with overpriced (by meckey's price) Ducky but like you said that's never going to hot swappable. I hope your keyboard lasts a long time but my money is not confident with products that has no warranty or brands that may not exist in near future from now.

Good luck with your hardware and happy typing.

Damages?

 

[princeoo7]

Rs. 363 from amazon. also it completely works with argb for which I bought it. its a rgb splitter and not an argb splitter. one thing to keep in mind before buying

Once upon a time, dreams were made of these numbers:

That's 3x 1tb Silicon Power 34A80's in RAID 0 with Storage Spaces.

And these are 4x 512gb Samsung PM981's sourced from a refurbishing dealer.

Four of these drives costed just 1.6k more than a single Silicon Power 1tb.

Congratulations,
I had tried raid on my gen4 2tb drives and the I/O operations suffered significantly. I mean the numbers on a benchmark were wonderful but it's responsiveness was like a 15k 6gbps sata HDD in my case. So I switched back to an individual drive. And that was a far far better experience in my case. Even installation window was very very long. I even ended up restating the PC during install thinking the system got hung at 27%.

 

[rsaeon]

yeah, I had to make sure they were all on cpu lanes, response times went into the 1000+ms territory if even one was on pch lanes

the 1tb's are on a b550 motherboard because it has some robust pcie bifurcation options in the bios and the graphics card was happy to be put on pch lanes as well

but the 512gb's are on x299 and that refused to boot when a graphics card wasn't on cpu lanes

these are the kind of things you see ltt playing around with and think "that's never going to be practical..." and when it happens, it's almost surreal

but now I'm thinking of a 8x array with those super cheap PM981's ha

I also run every system under a hypervisor, proxmox, so configuration and pcie pass through become trivial issues

those screenshots are from windows vm's with the nvme drives passed through, I haven't done a bare metal install of windows in a couple of years because vm's are easily backed up and migrated to other systems if something needs to be repurposed

But how did you get it to work with the gpu?

Sapphire Nitor+ have a 3 pin argb header and in Sapphire TRIXX software set the argb control to external

First Apple product with replaceable battery. They work surprisingly well.

Internet upgrade/sidegrade with Airtel Xstream Fiber, it's pretty exciting stuff.

It looks like they've disabled Bridge WAN mode, so I'm still double nat'ed. But at least port forwarding works now.

Don't have the B550 mobo yet to verify its speeds though.

 

[sanjeevram]

You can give it to me , Will check for you also use for you.
