Just got my MSI 274Q - replaced the 272Q I had for 24hrs before it's firmware bug (stuck in OLED care 2.0 loop).  OLED is life now, love it.

Yep, for me its next best thing after SSD.

Does anyone ever actually use DLSS? I don't know of a single person who actually uses it or likes it's effects, and yet they push it in every single modern PC game as a feature.

Well, if you have 4K monitor and don't have freakishly expensive GPU, then you need to go on compromise and use that ****ty DLSS.
I've had 4K monitors for about 12 years now and used to drop on graphic settings in order to get around 40fps on 4K. Frame rate around 30-40fps was fine for me to play my games. Then when DLSS came in, I think my first game I had to use it in was remake of Dead Space, then that stupid Cyberpunk.
However, when I got 9070 XT last year, I stopped using it, I just prefer to play plain 4K without any DLSS or whatever Radeon cards have there. Its poeerful enough to play 4K without those stupid features. I only jumped on red wagon, cause 9070XT cost me £565, instead of £800 for 5070Ti, which should be same on green side.

I ****ing HATE what nvidia and AMD does to us - they come up with synthetically generating frames technology to make up lack of GPU power and stick this in out faces like its an amazing tech we can't live without. Just make a strong GPUs instead of faking it! I remember days when new cards were out and simply killed previous generation with raw power, not some ****ty fake frames. And what now?! They gonna push even more stupid solution like AI to generate more artificial frames. Noone is trying to make hardware better, just play with software. Why not to stop develop games entirely and ask AI to make some games out of thin air...

...ok.. that's me, cooling off now... :)

Truly the end of an era, always sad to see names that have some history in the hobby leave for whatever reason. Glad to see the taiwanese branch is still running? I'm not familiar with their more recent product offerings though so it will be interesting to see if they can still compete on the market. I'm rooting for them!

Love the design of the novelties! :p The semi-transparent alpha looks interesting as well.

Right now, the overall color theme feels peaceful to me, and maybe just a few red add-ons (referencing EVA's bloodyness) would further highlight the theme? (just personal opinions)

Agree with this! I also would be interested in what some Red, perhaps in the novelties, would do for this set.

as someone new to EC, what else would I need other than PCB?
switches, domes, & sliders? thanks

i always wanted a Noxary, but couldn't splurge on it. maybe that was for the best...

On top of the plate and PCB, you would the following for a full build:
  • Sliders (2u, 1u and stabs)
  • Housings (2u, 1u and stabs)
  • Domes
  • Springs
  • Wires
  • (optional) Silencing Rings

You can have a look at DynaCap, they also sell bundles for different keyboard sizes which include everything.
