mouse: logitech g pro wireless superlight (this is my third gpw)
keyboard: exclusive e7v2 w/ sp-star sacramento switches (custom boards are generally worse for gaming because they poll low)
monitor: LG 34GP950G-B (i play almost all fps games in 16:9 stretched to 21:9 and i do NOT recommend it)

These are some of the most common misconceptions about mechanical keyboards.

1. nearly all readily available mechanical switches are "cherry mx style." You get some variation in switchmakers adding stabilization boxes around the stem, but they all operate almost exactly the same way, with the same major parts. Cherry actually makes some great fucking switches. With a little TLC (Lubing/filming/springswapping/etc.) can result in some very smooth and very enjoyable switches. This can be said about most """"cherry mx style"""" switches. There are tons of different switch manufacturers that, without any modification, feel pretty shitty. This leads to people incorrectly attributing shittiness to Cherry switches.

2. Nothing is inherently wrong with ABS keycaps. There are cheap ABS keycaps that are made from thin molds and have laser etched legends, so over time the legends will fade with use. The best keycaps money can buy are doubleshot ABS keycaps (GMK), which will never fade, but will shine over time. Some people prefer not to have shiny keycaps, and so PBT is a good alternative. Dye sublimated PBT keycaps will still shine, it just takes way fucking longer.

tldr: prebuilt keyboards are shit because they're cheaply made, custom stuff is pretty accessible for slightly more money, and endless customizability. customs continue to become cheaper and more readily available, and so you're not going to be spending that much more money for something that you won't have to replace in a year.

here's a pic of one of my first custom keyboards, with "cherry style switches" and ABS keycaps:

just get the gmmk pro kit and build one. it’s all hotswap so you’re not limited to cherry switches.
