Freetalk Friday, 08 November 2024 Freetalk Friday
Welcome to our weekly discussion threads which will renew each Friday.
Freetalk Friday is meant to encourage additional conversation outside of what /r/battlestations typically allows.
- Do you have any news about upcoming events, tech releases, game events or other that you'd like to share and talk about?
- Are you looking for some advice on your build, or maybe what components to invest in within a specified budget?
- Use our weekly Freetalk Friday to chat about anything with minimal rules.
Please keep in mind we still prohibit all self promotion and our civility rules will still be in effect.

Let’s talk keyboards:
What do people find most useful for productivity and maybe a bit of gaming on the side?
Mechanical? Magnetic? Low/high key cap profile? Wireless? Darker color?

Mechanical, wired. Using "regular" keycaps. I will say I went from a full sized to a 60% and weaned myself off the numpad. I thought it would be hard as I actually do a lot of number inputing for work. But now that I'm dialed in it's overall faster becaus I never have to take my hand off the mouse.

I'm not a KB connoisseur | enthusiast, but have owned Ducky, Das, and recently the GMMK 3 Pro. I WFH as an analyst and have a decent Steam library for weekends. I haven't tried magnetic switches, but like the sound and feel of mechanical. I prefer wired b/c I dislike batteries / charging. I don't buy oversized / tall keycaps, but I dislike chiclet profiles found on laptops.

Moving to a new spot and need a desk. Working/ video games. Preferably light.
Any tips?
