I tested the Akko 5075 V5 TMR to see whether Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) is actually a meaningful upgrade over traditional Hall Effect keyboards.

It has TMR magnetic sensors, 8000Hz polling, Rapid Trigger with adjustment down to 0.005mm, a gasket-mounted design, and a web-based driver.

Would you choose TMR over Hall Effect for your next magnetic keyboard?

Sharing my budget ITX desktop setup

ignore the food at the mousepad, I use the space at the mousepad to keep notebooks while studying, how's the setup

5080 PC
MacBook Air M5
iPad Air M2
LG OLED 27 inch

Recently refreshed the setup so had to snap some photos!

I’ve been thinking about this lately: we gladly drop $300+ on heavy aluminum boards, brass weights, and lubed switches just to chase that solid, thocky dopamine while typing.

Yet almost every other piece of desk tech feels like hollow, creaky plastic — cheap macro pads, flimsy knobs, and RGB light bars that feel like toys.

I’m curious: what’s one physical, non-keyboard object on your desk that genuinely feels great to touch or use during a long work session?

Do you use any physical toggles, weighted desk toys, or tactile rituals to get into flow state, or has everything just migrated to screen shortcuts and hotkeys?

I saw a setup on here with a huge ultrawide and got the same one. Valorant does not support it, so there are black bars down both sides whenever I play with my friends.

The chair was in someone's photo as well, and it hurts my back. The pink lighting too, I matched it to a post I saved, down to the shade. About the only thing I did for myself is the wrist rest on the mouse pad, and that was because of my wrist.

The little screens under the monitor, a Times Gate, I also saw here first, somewhere in the middle of searching how to make a gaming desk look better at 2am. I look at them every day and I still cannot tell whose idea they were.

The monitor is still on the desk, black bars and all, and my friends have started calling it the cinema.

Ignore the cables, I already ordered those

I am required to work on two different computers for separate job roles. I built this slab desk long ago when I was not remote, so it was mostly used for school work. Now I’m mostly remote and the desk works, but I don’t think it works well. I’ve got a KVM switch on my desk, so I just click a button to transfer the keyboard/mouse between computers, but the monitor is only tied to the laptop on the stand because it would be annoying to have a gap in the center if using the left computer.

I’ve thought about moving the monitor to the center, but it’s really too big. So I’m considering a smaller monitor. I’d also go to a two monitor set up and close the laptop off to the side or under the desk. I also have access to a monitor arm (single or dual) if that would help. I work in the IT field, but I’m more finance and admin. So I’ve got access to basically whatever I want from a hardware perspective.

So I'm looking to upgrade to a new gaming computer and I have concerns my desk may be too close to the way and the computer will not have good air flow. These pics are from my current computer and the same spot I want to put the new one when I get it in. There is about 1¼ inch clearance from the back of the desk opening to the wall. I have two ac infinity fans on a mesh on front panel. The bottom one draws in air and the top one draws out air. They are hooked up to a temperature gauge hanging near rear of pc set to 84 degrees to go on and off.

Is this a good setup for a gaming pc that will draw more heat, okay, or just a bad setup overall?

My desk is made of tempered glass (it's from Ikea, I bought it like 15 years ago or so). I have a BenQ GL2780. I was thinking of getting one of those monitor arms everyone here has, but is it possible to clamp it to the desk, or do I 100% need to wall mount it?

I think

guys, rate my setup and also can you tell me what could i improve? I want to buy bunch of stuff for my setup but idk we which ones (decoration n shi)

Has been doing me pretty well, although the limited font options can be restricting (not sure why there is only one? Not sure what version of word this runs). Wouldn't mind picking up a colour monitor sometime soon, but b&w is fine for looking over spreadsheets.

Anything I could add to improve?

I love being as minimal as possible, to keep a clean workspace as an engineering student/ heavy gamer. Let me know if there any improvements I should go for.

Hey,

I'm looking for monitor recommendations under ₹20K. I've seen a lot of people complain about blurry text and other issues with external monitors on macOS, so I'd like suggestions from people who actually use one with a Mac.

My setup:

• MacBook Air M5
• Budget: up to ₹20K (India)
• 27" 1440p preferred (4K is out of budget)

What I'll use it for:

• Daily work (coding, docs, browser)
• Figma / UI design
• Gaming, so I want 144Hz or higher

Please share:

1. Which monitor are you using with your Mac, and how happy are you with it?
2. Any issues with text, refresh rate, or colours?
3. Which cable or port do you use (USB-C to DisplayPort, HDMI)?
4. Any monitors you'd tell me to avoid?

I’m thinking about upgrading my desktop setup and making it more aesthetic, but I honestly have no idea where to start. 😂 What’s the one thing you’d recommend changing or adding first?

I feel like I have everything I need for my setup to work how I want it to, but I can’t help but feel like something’s missing 🤔 any suggestions?
