The "random stuff I wanna buy but don't" thread

What’s a good wireless keyboard, 75 or larger, non chiclet style,‘creamy’, for typing rather than gaming?

Logitech MX Keys S seems to be the best "normal" wireless keyboard. I'm tempted by that myself, but currently use a Razr Cynosa gaming keyboard for work and enjoy the lights and high-profile keys.

I had the Mini version. Nice build and quality but I didn't get on with the chiclet style.

I think I might try a Nuphy for home. I use a Keychron for work which is good, bar the switches being slightly too sensitive.
 
Been looking for decent 2.1 Speakers for my PC for a while, go online, look around, read reviews, think i have something worth getting. End up not buying anything and sticking with headphones...

2.1 is too small, get a 5.1 at least ... coupled with a proper soundcard ideally. It will be well worth it, trust me. Headphones are good but you can't just pump the tunes and relax.

Man I miss those early 2000's 5.1 Cambridge Soundworks or whatever that Creative set was called. My life changed the day I got those.

Music or gaming?
 
Another favourite of mine is buying a bunch of stuff because I am going to do this hobby now and then never getting time for it and losing interest.

A bit of both, but much prefer fidelity and sound quality than big bass. So yeah, more interested in sound quality than excessive volume. Honestly, doesn't even need to be 2.1, would be happy with high quality 2,0 speakers.

Some monitors or bookshelf's will work great then. I just have a set of edifiers from www.edifier.co.za and they have been great. Very rarely use my headset these days.

Just the 990BT my only gripe with them is that the volume/source change is at the back.

Exactly, that's what I had in mind ... the many Creative 5.1 speaker sets that are still circulating for sale on Carbonite to this day rofl. Mind you the quality was awesome compared to the old potato stereo PC speakers of the 2000s, but I think we'd find they're a bit kak these days after being spoiled by the likes of Bose and HarmanKardon.

Id put them in the same class as taking your childhood supercar for a drive. Best left in the past and remembered fondly.

You don't get proper sound cards anymore, the few you do, aren't easily available in SA.
You'll have to get a DAC or something

Isn't that Temu?

Dude, Temu is so unsatisfying. It's like buying a big bag of chocolates at a discount price ... and they're all stale, and the cheap price makes sense. I bought twice from Temu, and learned my lesson. Got swept up in the "Wow this is so cheap it feels illegal" excitement, and then discovered it's so cheap because every last bit of it is crap. Every. Last. Deal.
