Got a really weird issue with my Defiance laptop. The W key on my keyboard is getting stuck, but not in a normal way: - The longer I keep my finger on it, the longer it will stay active after, so for example when I'm typing this post it's all fine, but when I hold W in a game for e.g. 10...

1440p VA and TN panels definitely, IPS probably/not sure.

Haha, using the UNO reverse card, nice. Unfortunately I checked newer TN panels in Currys PCWorld not too long ago, not as good looking as IPS/VA (both of which I own(ed)). Indeed, 1 and 2 aren't dealbreakers. Fair point about 3, I guess the 3600 will last a few years so I could upgrade just the...

Means I'd have to settle for a TN panel :/ I've been thinking over the case dilemma, and I'm still leaning towards a mini pc. 11cm is the best case scenario, the most common case seems to involve ~20 cm extra from what I glanced. Read more online about the topic and the "larger" mini cases...

Fair point, but with money to spare I don't mind going for 2070 Super. I've recently sold my 27" 1440p monitor, it was too big physically hence my move to 23-24" and 1080p. Any thoughts on the fans? The processor one and any potential extra ones?

What about adding extra fans though? Is the thermals vs extra noise tradeoff worth it?

Why is aiming for 144fps unrealistic? At 1080p a 2070 Super and anything above should have no problem (I mean for the sake of argument, can you imagine a 2080Ti dipping below 144fps at 1080p? Worst case scenario, even if it dips, it's gonna be way above 60fps) Thanks for the info about the...

Hi everyone, After 2 laptops (a PCS Cosmos 15 and PCS Defiance 17) it's time I get a desktop! I'm aiming for a 1080p ultra settings 144fps (hence the 2070 Super, that's the minimum in my opinion) I'm very flexible with my budget and I'll be doing just gaming. One big question I have is around...

My 2014 Cosmos II with its GTX 850m is showing its age, so I'm looking for a new gaming laptop, it would be for pure gaming not much else. I considered the Proteus but for a bit more £ I can have the Defiance which has G-Sync and is apparently a better chassis, so why not. My budget is already...

Go to Control Panel, Hardware, Mouse. There should be a tab called ELAN. There click options. :)

If you have hotkey installed then it's the icon of a tiny laptop.

If you double click the Hotkey icon in the taskbar, you get this window which tells you what is switched on and off. :)

I'm wondering whether anyone here plays on their PC using a controller, i.e. gamepad. I've been thinking about getting one, but I'm not sure whether it's worth it. I would probably get something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-Common-Controller-Windows/dp/B004JU0JSK/ Is it a big step...

Guess what arrived today! Though I won't get to play till the 15th of May due to exams :(

Is there a way to disable the "sleep" binding in Hotkey (Fn+F4)? It's close to "volume down" and occasionally I hit it, so annoying.
