Just a rant that I wanted to write about and hopefully if someone else who is having same issues will find it useful...

If you are running Windows 11 and your audio is crackling for no good damn reason and especially when you type it gets worse and your keyboard is from Mountain and you are using BaseCamp.. Please uninstall BaseCamp. That's the cause of it. I don't know why or how, but BaseCamp adds massive lag and latency on Windows 11 for me at least.. And because Mountain is defunct, there is no fix coming either for it.

I think for my next keyboard I will go with one that supports QMK... I hate proprietary software for hardware... It's part of planned obsolescence too.. I have Razer Tartarus and Razer Basilisk V3 atm.. But all it needs from Razer is just release of Synapse 5 and them to go "Nope, Razer Tartarus will not be supported on Synapse 5, oh and you can't download Synapse 4 no more, enjoy your brick.". I would replace my Razer-devices if I could but there isn't good alternatives for Tartarus that fits my preferences, not as closed source nor as open source.. For mouse there is probably alternatives but the gaming ones tend to always use proprietary software and I do need a mouse that isn't just a basic mouse.. Keychron M7 would be acceptable but it's wireless and I don't do wireless peripherals because of the added latency and the fact most of them use 2.4GHz band which is already very busy due to so many devices using that band.

Maybe in the future someone actually shares my annoyance and releases a 3D printable version of keypad that is even better than Tartarus... And yes, I know Azeron has Keyzen but that looks like really painful to use because they decided to do that weird curvature for the keys instead of just flat plane... not to mention it's expensive and bulky as hell.
