Personally I find blue switches irritating since they are a bit too loud. It's okay during the day, but if you are typing late in the night it is bound to disturb other members of your family.

Yeah, it's noisier than the generic keyboard I used. I don't have the heart to spend a lot for a keyboard, in fact I felt I am overspending even before purchase. Originally I was eyeing one of the HP backlit membrane keyboard, as all the mechanical keyboads I checked are priced over 2k including cherry MX red switches, and I came across this one accidentally. If I hadn't I would've gone for the membrane one. My old keyboard for most part works okay, if when someone complains I gotta use that during night time.

Didn't know Asus made headphones. How's the playback and recording audio?
Both are pretty decent. The bass was not deep as advertised. Being a "budget" gaming headset, I was not hoping for much of a quality build but it was way better than my expectation. The microphone is not detachable and that's a bummer as it was getting in the way sometimes. Tried the 7.1 spatial audio thing by enabling Windows Sonic and worked well in game, better than stereo output. The cushions cup the ear a bit tighter but surprisingly it is still very comfortable after 2 hours of usage. For the regular price of 3.2k or more, there must be better options to choose from.

I find this one extremely functional and not super expensive. I have QCK and a few razors, this one is the best IME. It is not avl nowm seems like they have a better one:

Rs. 499. The gel works well to avoid/delay fatigue build up.

Kept purchase of keyboad on hold and got this. Once I have lost my entire photo collection from 2006 to 2017 due to drive failure. Thaught of not making that mistake again.
got it for Rs 8808 for 5TB in Flipkart. Wanted to get the red color but this one was costing Rs 500 cheaper. Though I didnt like the unboxing experience :( The box is old.

There is a 3 years data recovery service included which closed the deal for me. Also in Seagate you can use the disk directly with a SATA cable internally if the housing is damaged. In WD, the SATA to Micro B USB converter circuit is soldiered to the drive which makes it difficult (if not impossible) to use the disk standalone.

I would suggest have another backup device. Don't put all eggs in one basket. Data recovery isn't always 100% promised.

This is an interesting info, using as an internal drive part. I knew these were just 2.5" 5400rpm HDDs in most cases.

I wonder what harm it is in using paid cloud back up instead of spending money on drives on a regular bases.
How much is for cloud backup? High running cost is what keeping me away from cloud backup. Otherwise I trust cloud backup more than HDDs.

I tried cloud backup. 0365, dropbox, even created my private Storage as a Service solution in Azure.
The drawbacks are:
1. Dependancy on internet. Not everywhere I go have fast internet
2. Difficulty to scroll through my files. It is not easier to get what I need, specially when you have a very large number of small sized files.
3. I need to get my picture locally when I want to edit them. I found it better to have two mirrored disks for redundancy, than one in cloud.
4. High running cost. 5TB what I got in this drive will cost a lot in cloud.
5. I dont trust cloud when it comes to comfendential files.

Aside, all my drives are working. Even one PATA drive :p Till date I encountered just one drive failure where i had my photo collections :(

I personally think we should keep data in different drives in case one goes faulty So we should use 2*4 tb drives instead of 1*8 tb.

I don't much about this, few random searches comes up with idrive being the best. I have 0 experience with any. Google seems expensive at Rs 650 a month for 2TB.
