Keyboard:

I read a few threads here, CM seems to be a popular choice and blues/browns seem to get recommended for general gaming and typing. I'd honestly prefer a 60% one without leds (I don't like paying for redunant features) but I can't find any that are sold in my country. I can get it for 80 eur, am I getting my money's worth or can I expect something better in that price range?

Monitor: 24" XL2411P BenQ
It's 240 eur and I'd like to know if it's worth it or if I can get a cheaper good 144hz monitor. Also, the 24" XL2430 is 350 eur and I can't see any difference between the two except for the weight. Does that mean the 110 eur difference is because the latter has a metal stand or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Things the 2430 has that the 2411p doesn't.

  • S Switch (allows changing monitor profiles with a single button press)
  • Stronger Stand with alignment markings
  • Monitor can be tilted forward and back with alignment markings
  • Extra HDMI port, D-Sub, Mic jack
  • USB ports
  • Height adjustment can go 10mm higher

The monitors have literally the exact same Display, and I can only assume the firmware and thus performance, color quality, etc or absolutely the same on both. Basically the 2430 has a lot of the things most would consider "extras" I'd get a 2411p unless you specifically want the extra ports (USB, HDMI, Mic jack) though I strongly recommend against the headphone and mic jacks on monitors. Not sure if it's just me but they seem to always have really shitty audio quality.
