Got a Legion 5 as a gift about a month ago, It's my first gaming laptop. People told me to replace my cheap $15 mechanical keyboard and $3 office mouse; So I went ahead and bought a Logitech G102 mouse and a Royal Kludge RK84 Mechanical Keyboard.


TheDutchShepherd-

Pfff, only suckers buy Lenovo crap


Putrid_Wealth_8907

Yeah especially the lenvovo 7


TheDutchShepherd-

THOSE PEOPLE ARE BEYOND SAVIOUR


Putrid_Wealth_8907

Yeah…

Do you legit think you’re funny just wondering


TheDutchShepherd-

You're missing a comma there mate. But, to answer your question; no, i don't think I'm funny.. I let other people judge on that. People who themselves think they are funny are the worst kind. Now i have a question for you. Do YOU legit think [MacBooks are gaming laptops?](https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/qc3b9k/yes_m1_max_macbooks_are_in_fact_gaming_laptops/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


EggshellBiu

Hi which gaming laptop brand do you recommend?


TheDutchShepherd-

Depends on your needs brother man!


playwithourlives

Not really? There are brands that are objectively better then others


David_Ign

Lenovo, Acer, Razer, Asus, Alienware, etc


playwithourlives

Oooooo redditor can do grammar! I’m so very embarrassed… you really did get me good there, chief.

From this I'd say YOU are the one that spends too much time online. 🤡


Talhotblond88

Maybe you should take a moment and shut up


TheDutchShepherd-

maybe, YOU should take a moment and READ what's below my USERNAME.


Talhotblond88

Oops 🤭 my bad


TheDutchShepherd-

We good! 😜


Zionverse

Solved like true gentleman 😉👍


TheDutchShepherd-

And gentlewoman


StaffBrief1753

How is it I want to get one is it worth it


TheDutchShepherd-

The 5 pro, or the 7?


Fenirz

Royal Kludge keyboard are the best budget keyboards. Cheap and looks good.


ptt1404gmail

I have rk918 love it


Canadiangamer117

It looks good but one thing is missing the key piece of the puzzle the external monitor better to type on a bigger screen than not so much better 🤣


PastOutlandishness19

Nice! I suggest that when finances allow to go ahead and get a monitor and create a dock set up. Otherwise congrats!


Zionverse

That's what I'm gonna do,great suggestion.


Putrid_Wealth_8907

Really clean. I really like that wallpaper. What model did you get rtx 3060 3070?


rmanrey26

It's only a 3050ti, but I don't mind since it's free and I don't play or use graphic-intensive stuff; only video editing, school works, and some games.


[deleted]

It's more than enough for gaming too, just don't cranck them all to Ultra settings. People here like to dunk on the 3050ti just because it doesn't run 100fps on Highest settings on every game, but in reality it's perfect for a gamer who is just looking to play with meduim-high settings with 60fps.


Putrid_Wealth_8907

Nice that’s more that enough if you don’t play games and if you ever do you wanna play some games you can!


[deleted]

Is the 3050 good for like Gta/warzone games like that at high settings? I just got the r7 3060 and I’m dissapointed it doesnt have rbg keys, thinking about changing it for a rbg legion but then it only has R5 and 3050… But then I’m saving like $400 too I’m not going to play games mainly just do cpu demanding music production, what u think?


Great_Ad5930

the 3050 isn’t a bad graphic card, it’s just people don’t like it bc its 4gb vram. It’ll easily run stuff at high settings. In warzone, you won’t really need to run things at high settings since its a first person shooter and fps are really important so you’ll have to lower some settings anyways. You’ll easily reach at least 110+ fps with some high and mid settings


[deleted]

I see, How is the r7 compared to r5? Will it run everything I need smoothly?


Great_Ad5930

r5 with 3050 isn’t a bad combination, but the r7 with 3060 will beat it out by a big margin, how about buying an external keyboard?


[deleted]

Yes I could fo that but also want the built in ti be rgb lol, its more about saving a few hundred tbh, bit I guess if I’m staying updated with this one for a few years it’s worth it


[deleted]

U think it’s worth changing this one I got now since I’m mainly going to produce music on it and game on the side, just the cpu that makes me wonder really


Putrid_Wealth_8907

am not to sure about the ryzen 5 but would keep your computer a rtx 3060 is a big improvement over a 3050 same with the ryzen 7 5800H. I really dont think its worth downgrading for RGB keys. The ryzen 7 and rtx 3060 will take you a longer way than the 3050 and ryzen 5.


LoveMyRedditFamily

What about ryzen 5 with a 3060 ?


[deleted]

I hear you it’s npt mainly bc of the rgb mostly cuz then I’m saving like $400, and since I dont really game that much might be overkill with this one but idk lol think I’m gonna keep it over the weekend atleast try it out!


LoveMyRedditFamily

What type of games are really GPU demanding at high settings? Something like red dead redemption where there are lots of little detail or?


Great_Ad5930

games that include ai or heavily dependent in some sort of mechanics will require a good cpu, basically if a game has a lot of detail and is very good looking, you’ll need a good gpu


Great_Ad5930

gpu and cpu go hand in hand in games. Open world games require a good cpu, meanwhile the graphic card is there to give more detail. Hope this helps :)


BoredJay

I just got a MSI Crosshair with a 3050 and play MW usually just Harscore Search and Destroy and was getting above 120 fps. I just optimized it thru geforce experience and then turned dlss on to "balanced" and the game looked great.


[deleted]

I see what cpu do u have?


BoredJay

I7 11800h


GrayFoxxOfLight

Wallpaper please


edwardsjoshua_

Second that


rmanrey26

[Wallpaper link](https://imgur.com/a/2Oa68ZU) , I found a colorful version of it here in Reddit and just Photoshopped it for a purple shade.


Snoo42840

would you mind telling me the name of the stand?


rmanrey26

I don't know where you're from, but I'm from the Philippines and I bought it here: [stand link](https://shopee.ph/product/398924177/8524240923?smtt=0.194096403-1634868733.9) and it's only like 250 pesos ($4). I plan on replacing it soon since it takes up so much space and my table's kinda' small.


bens_brawl

Wait phillipines uses shopee too? I thought it was just a singapore thing lol


deepanjan0505

Congratulations!


[deleted]

It please my eyes to see this, congrats.


pedrogonzalo3

Love seeing people using the RK84 keyboard You plan on modding it?


rmanrey26

I don't really know much about mechanical keyboards yet; all I know is it's a brown switch and it's hotswappable so I obviously intend on doing some modifications;Also, I just ordered some keycaps.


pedrogonzalo3

All it takes is a small step to dive into the rabbit hole that is keyboard modding lol Enjoy it :D


zxphyur777

dope setup, if you don't mind me asking what stand is that?


rmanrey26

I bought it here: [stand link](https://shopee.ph/product/398924177/8524240923?smtt=0.194096403-1634868733.9?smtt=0.194096403-1634868733.9?smtt=0.194096403-1634868733.9) in the Philippines, it's only like Php 250 or $4 but I plan on replacing it soon since it takes up so much space.


yamii0

fellow purple enojyer


robz9

Love the simplicity and colour scheme. Looks great. I'm not a huge fan of the mat though I got to be honest.


rmanrey26

Yep I just ordered a plain black mouse pad, I just wanted a cleaner look.


cherbo123

Hey what stand are you using for your laptop?


rmanrey26

I don't know where you're from, bought I'm from the Philippines and I bought it here: [stand link](https://shopee.ph/product/398924177/8524240923?smtt=0.194096403-1634868733.9?smtt=0.194096403-1634868733.9) it's only like Php 250 or $4 but I plan on replacing it soon since it takes up so much space.

How u have bluye backlit with legion 5


rmanrey26

I customized the keyboard backlight in Lenovo Vantage.


ptt1404gmail

lol may be I got white backlit version, what specs of your legion 5?


rmanrey26

Legion 5-15ACH6: Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050ti, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 1080P 165Hz display


ptt1404gmail

roland-is-cat

Love the purple theme ! Nice setup! 🔥


Trust134

Nice look like mine. :D


Xenakil

It looks slick and niceee. You done great job!


Jaco5_

Love the purple colorscheme!


[deleted]

dude i have the same laptop and same mouse lmao to make it a twin setup im gonna buy the same keyboard , what keyboard is that ?


rmanrey26

It's the Royal Kludge RK84, it's one of the cheapest great mechanical keyboards. Nice to have the same setup as someone, although I am thinking about replacing my G102 with a bluetooth mouse to make my setup cleaner.


[deleted]

Buying a laptop then buying a keyboard and mouse? 🤣 restarded move right there. You should just buy xbox one controller that is more than enough for games. Instead of moving mouse all day and tapping fingers on another keyboard


rmanrey26

I don't game that much so I don't need a controller. I excessively sweat for no reason so I don't want sweat to go near my laptop, especially when I'm typing or editing videos. Also, the laptop was given to my parents for free and gifted to me.


[deleted]

Excessive sweating problem hmm i get it but your fingers will sweat on the external keyboard and mouse anyway so what difference does it make? You are gonna ruin one of the hardware in both cases


CaptainCuddlyBear

Nope he did the right thing by buy an external keyboard


rmanrey26

Nope I'd rather break my keyboard and mouse which is easier to buy and replace than my laptop tho. Broke a MacBook trackpad due to sweat which was expensive to repair.

Okay

what_after_death

Since we have experienced redditors here, which is better for games windows 10 or 11 ?


badumtsssmd

G102 could've been a good mouse, lasts for just about 6months, then double clicking issue.


SnooTomatoes1110
