Ridiculous, it's just asetek rebadge.
They bolted on a SUPER UGLY "mass damper" for where the pump is, yea......
It's got a bunch of silicone struts in there, those thing wear out and go hard/soft/brittle etc, whatever the tuned attenuation is will move over time.
This is just a wash. If you're not going to design a better pump, why bother.
Might as well buy Thermalright 360 AIOs for $50 vs $250
With Arctic, at least they made their own.
If you spend $200 with Thermalright, you get a 360 AIO w/ wrap around OLED @ 2400x1800 resolution.

Anything slower than 9070xt is a bad deal.
9070xt for $650 !!!!! <- This is the way.

This is also a warning with MX keycaps; they can break the switch stem when installed and they can even break the PCB switch pins from what I'm reading.

« Last post by copper4eva on Tue, 16 June 2026, 16:44:56 »Thanks for your investigation! Since these same parts have been out for years with folks using these keyboards daily and not reporting such an issue, my guess is that the extra force you mentioned installing the keycaps put a lot of pressure on that part, which contacts the beam flipper when pressed.Is pressing keys down to hard a concern even after the keycaps and everything are installed?
