Has anyone bought and tried this Kogan 40" monitor?

Has anyone bought and tried this Kogan 40" monitor?

I'm looking for a ultrawide curved monitor on the 40 to 45 inch scale.

I'd mainly use this monitor for my corporate job and some light image editing and using Claude as well.

All the reviews I find are for the other one but not this model.

Appreciate it! Thanks!

Where can I find this set but either all matte or all glossy?

Photo form AliExpress.

So I would really love to buy a set like this, but what I don't like is the combination of glossy and matte keys. Have you guys found maybe something similar in this particular colour, but all glossy/jelly like?

I have tonnes of cat ear-shaped keys but not the glossy type.

Help: how do I make my space bar not to rattle so much even with a silent switch?

Okay, so I'm back again with the same keyboard that I mentioned in my previous post that I brought back from the dead. I want to know if there is a way, an easy way, for me to figure out why my space key, even though it has a silent switch, continues to rattle too much. For further context, in the video I'm lightly tapping the space bar that has the Outemu Strawberry Silent switches. And the rest of my keys have the Yunzii cocoa cream switches.

I usually only exclusively use silent switches overall but decided to try a creamy sounding keyboard after I got the C98 with candy switches and loved the sound. But I also switched the candy switch of the space bar to the Yunzii caramel coffee V2 silent switches and it's perfect.

This is the ONLY keyboard (epomaker 84 plus) I own that has this awful sound in the space bar. I can't stand it. I'm not a strong typer, but typing the space bar makes it sound like I'm hitting that key angrily and it's driving me nuts. I know different keycaps vary in sound but when I had a Moa set in this one it also sounded super loud.

Anything I can do to make this less loud?

Does anyone have this keeb? What are your thoughts?

So basically, my whole collection of seven keyboards and my whole office setup is in pink, white, and sometimes black. Recently I started to see many cute purple keycaps and mousepads, coiled cables and things like that. I was just thinking, "hey, why not also just get a purple/lilac keyboard?" And then I considered getting a purple one as well. This is the only one with a 70% layout that I like the colorway of it.

But aside from the reviews on tiktok and Amazon, what do you guys think?

Is it good?

I could get the c75 from yunzii but I don't know... I already have the cream c98 and pink c75...

Do you have any recs of lilac/pastel purple keyboards? 75 or TKL ones only.

All this keeb needed was a set of cute keycaps for it to come back to live! 🥹🙂‍↕️

I've had this Epomaker Keyboard 84 Plus for about two years, and I did not like the keycaps and the switches that it came with. I added a MOA set of keycaps that I got from AliExpress, but for some reason I did not like it that much. I love the keycap set, but I just don't love it in this keyboard. Or any other keyboard for that matter.

I don't know what was going on with me that I ended up buying other keyboards (and I now I own like 5 or 7) for completely entire different reasons, and then I decided that I was just going to get rid of this one. Then I also got super crazy and I bought like a tonne of keycap sets on AliExpress. I said to myself, "you know what? Let's add some cute keycaps to this board and see how we like it."

And omg! It looks super cuteeeeeee! 🥹

Something that I loved about this set is that it has the little paws as keycaps, so I don't have to look down while I'm writing to make sure that I'm touching the arrow keys. It adds a sensory help with this, and I love it now.

And this was my second keyboard. My first one ever was the epomaker RT100 in pink, and I realised that I did not like keyboards with a numpad. I then got the 84 plus, and I realised that I also don't like when keyboards come all compacted and all the keys are like smashed together. I like to have that little gap in the arrow keys.

I'm so happy I managed to bring this guy back to life! Now I need to find a good set of silent switches and see how I like it. If not, perhaps the Yunzii candy switches could do the trick to make it sound like the Yunzii C98 with the candy switches.

Hey guys, I have a simple question (for me) to ask regarding keeping your DRM books while waiting for a newer working method to remove the DRM.

I already tried my best to scower the sub to find working ways to remove the DRM and they're either no longer working or I'm just too dumb to understand how they work and give up...

So, my question is: can I just extract the azw files from My Kindle Content folder, store them somehwere else and remove the DRM once a reliable working method surfaces? At this point, there's nothing else I'm able to do it seems.

My plan is the following:

  1. Exact the azw files from MKC folder
  2. Move them to calibre, where they show up as a KFX-zip
  3. Wait for a calibre DRM method to work and then get my books one day... or wait for someone to throw them into the sea and see if I can find them... Which would suck because I already bought them...

If my "plan" doesn't work, what's the best method to at least get the files and deDRM them later when a method works? I googled and it seems that the azw file is the actual book that gets converted into a KFX-zip file in calibre when the DRM plugin failed to remove the DRM. So when I press O and it opens the containing folder, it shows me this:

Translation: Archivo = file | this is the azw file I added from MKC folder to calibre which I then opened from calibre and it shows up as a KFX-zip file

And if I add that same file (KFX-zip) back to calibre it'll show up like this, with the book cover, title, and author:

Book added back to calibre from calibre's containing folder

But when I copy the azw book files from MKC folder to another folder in my Documents, and add them to calibre, they show up like this:

folder where I added the azw files from MKC folder

Then it shows on calibre like this:

example of azw file added to calibre from the #DRM Books folder

And like this:

So I'm a bit lost on the difference between the two and what to do to at least make sure I have my purchased books saved into either calibre or a folder outside My Kindle Content folder once kindle for pc stops being supported...

I also apologies if I'm getting confused and overcomplicating things. My end goal is to just have the book files saved in my pc and deDRM them eventually when a working method come to live.

Thank you!
