    PCSPECIALIST Backlit keyboard and Thunderbolt on Recoil IV laptop

    Yep, the lighting effects were turned off in the BIOS. Turning them on re-enabled everything in GC which now has all the expected options and settings are remembered after closing it.

    PCSPECIALIST Backlit keyboard and Thunderbolt on Recoil IV laptop

    I've just received my Recoil IV this morning and I've been wondering the same thing. I found the thread about the Recoil II, but it's of no help - Gaming Center, as far as I can tell, does nothing. If I change a setting in EZ Switches, the setting is lost next time I open GC. And Operating...

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil 15.6"

    I have a very similar build arriving tomorrow. I'm going to be buying a different power supply because the ones supplied by PCS are unreasonably heavy - 1.5kg whereas ones weighing 1kg or less are the usual that would be supplied with a laptop requiring a 230W or 240W power supply. I've seen...

    I expect to receive my Recoil in the next few days. I'm not an aggressive typer, but I do a lot of typing. I'll let you know if I have any trouble with it.

    PCSPECIALIST What's the point ?

They've responded to every one of them, including taking the time to send me answers on the weekend at least once. And I'm not the easiest person to deal with. I doubt this...

    PCSPECIALIST Has this build happened too quickly?

    I doubt there are any issues, but it seems too good to be true. On Sunday - estimated to go into build on Thursday. Yesterday morning - entered build. Then entering testing at the end of the day and waiting for dispatch in the wee hours. But here's hoping that it'll arrive quickly too and...

    PCSPECIALIST Has this build happened too quickly?

    Hi This is going to seem like a crazy position to take given that the lead times for builds have been growing recently. To preempt any questions along similar lines, yes, I've contacted PCS with my concerns, but I'm posting here as well because I'm interested to know if others have had...

    PCSPECIALIST Vyper 17 - Thoughts after Two Weeks

    I'm intrigued now. I had my eye on the Defiance with the 2080 Super Max-Q in it, but wasn't sure it'd handle the heat and so I've ordered a Recoil with the 2070 Super - the GPU isn't clocked back to produce less heat, but the chassis is thicker, so hopefully handles heat better. But I'm not...

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil IV 15,6" order has been placed

    The 2070 Super is the best you'll get from the PC Specialists build because the 2080 Super Max-Q is not offered.
