My buddy says I need to be hitting a consistent 240 FPS to really benefit, but even in the titles where my rig can push those numbers, it just doesn't feel like the game-changing jump I expected.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I finally upgraded to a 1440p monitor, and now my old keyboard feels completely out of place. The mushy membrane keys just don't match the crisp, responsive feel of the rest of my setup anymore, and it's making my whole gaming experience feel disconnected. I'm wondering if a better keyboard would actually make things feel more cohesive, or if I'm just overthinking it.]]></description>
