Steelseries Apex Raw Gaming Keyboard Software

I bought this for my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL. It fits quite well despite being designed for the Roccat Vulcan TKL.

I've switched to this after 1.5 years with AW3423DW, because Apex and Rocket League have been the majority of my gaming hours. The productivity loss wasn't that bad, and the stand shape leaves room for another monitor if needed. The visuals seem on par with the Dell, but the smoothness is a noticeable upgrade. It is especially clear in Rocket League with its rough transitions when playing the ball cam (like you normally should). 540 Hz monitors with strobing have even better motion clarity but I won't put up with ghosting nor the hit to image quality. The timing around Apex's vulnerability deprived me of the most relevant comparison, but even a similar frame rate looks better in The Division 2. Unlike Rocket League, this must come down to a massive improvement in total latency from superior processing time. AW34D3W was unusually bad for OLEDs, while this MSI tops the charts. The monitor supports 4K input for downsampling the image from modern consoles and media players. The flipside is that PC games detected the monitor as 4K when using exclusive fullscreen, but the borderless option is taking over anyway (DX12 doesn't even have exclusive fullscreen). The connectivity is an upgrade as well: 2 genuine HDMI 2.1 and a 90W PD USB-C are amazing to have. There are also the usual 2 USB-A ports and a backup DP 1.4, too. Software-wise, this is completely fine out of the box unlike certain Samsungs and Dells were. A DSC toggle and separate color profiles for SDR & HDR should come with a future firmware, and the only other quirk is monitor turning off rather than going back to standby after a pixel refresh on idle. For pure gaming performance, this is the best OLED at the joint lowest price for this panel. I haven't been able to identify a caveat here. It is a great time to be an OLED aficionado.

Great motherboard and WIFI extender that goes with motherboard. The WIFI extender has really helped me with my WIFI and has significantly improved my gaming when it comes to really competitive games like apex or call of duty

I use the Apex AX-48 keyboard stand for a heavier digital piano, on the bottom and a Roland Juno Di on top. Each keyboard is easily accessible and adjustable keyboard heights make playing very comfortable. This stand is very sturdy.

Love this gaming keyboard. Color changing looks great.

Great Gaming and CAD compatibility with the software and hardware I am running.

The HyperX Alloy Core RGB - Gaming Keyboard is all I ever needed and more. It's the best keyboard I've ever had and great looking too.

On my 6D Mark II I shoot in RAW (of course) and JPEG for reference thumbs. With the Spyder software I notice there is no way to rotate the suggested color preset so you have to take your JPEG and crop everything else out so as to leave the Spyder color card remaining. From there you open that crop in SpyderCheckr software and everything will align perfectly. From there you save out your preset (in my case it's ACS) and then open your RAW version and apply the preset from there. I thought the colors were some 98% accurate so that's good enough for me (considering our images end up in archive anyways.

I've owned quite a few digital cameras over the years, some were cheaper and others were north of $3K, yet I am blown away by this $1,300 mirrorless miracle from Fuji. At the time of purchase I was comparing it against Sony's latest 7R. A friend of mine let me borrow the Sony for a day and while I loved the image quality, I wasn't impressed with the ergonomics and the weight and bulk of Sony's system with mounted lens. Another huge disadvantage of Sony was huuuuge files, full of annoying megapixels. I don't print human-sized posters and there was no way to have down-sampled RAW... X-T3 is a completely different animal. First of all, it almost completely removes user's dependency on software menus. All camera manufacturers employ terrible UX designers, so at least Fuji allows you to bypass the software mess and simply use physical dials for everything. Thank you. Another huge difference is that Fuji is incredibly compact when paired with Fuji lenses. They're almost always within 180-220g and it makes a huge difference. I have switched from a neck strap to a wrist strap which allows me to walk around with this dSLR handing on my wrist all day. Portability is everything. You end up taking your camera everywhere and taking more pictures. Finally, the image quality. One word: it's superb! 26MP is more than enough for (almost) everybody even if you're cropping. The dynamic range is great, I regularly recover giant amounts of detail in both shadows and highlights. ISO6400 is perfectly usable and not just for Instagram. But the most amazing part is Fuji colors. I shoot RAW and RAW files from Fuji are by far the easiest to work with: usually they require very little editing, mostly because the automatic white balance and colors are so great. Make sure to download Capture One Express for Fuji. It's free and it's amazing. Stop paying rent to Adobe. Renting software is bad for you.

Recommended for anyone taking RAW images. Photograph the portable ColorChecker and software automatically creates the perfect profile for processing your RAW photos. Automatically set white balance with the click of an eye-dropper. Provides a standard for use with any digital camera, from the past present or future.
