In which we talk for a while about graphs
There’s a sweet spot on the hardware scattergraph that sits between flash and function, statement and understatement, reserved for only the most balanced gear. Most peripherals land nowhere near it, and that’s not a bad thing. Everyone’s tastes are different. Some like a brash keyboard that drives them on to greatness; others prefer a subtle typer that does its job, then gets out of the way without any fuss. Logitech’s G513 Carbon nearly lands on that theoretical midpoint, but—for reasons we’ll explain—it’s not quite dead on.
Let’s start with the switches. Logitech’s Romer-G switches are, we think, some of the best in the world right now. We’re testing the linear version here (though there’s a tactile variety on offer, if that’s more your style), and it’s a super-smooth experience, with a soft, comfortable action, and some incredibly light actuation. Where Razer’s yellow switches (to pull out just one example) can be squishy and indistinct, these are sprung enough in their lower action to provide reasonable feedback, and light enough up top, with a high enough trigger point, that they forgive half-hearted keystrokes readily.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
