Is 1.1 1.1 still the fastest DNS?

Which is better 1.1 1.1 or 8.8 8.8 for gaming?

Hi!

The keyboard I'm considering is the CM Storm T.O.R4, which according to most reviews that I read is quite "light" for gaming, but it's priced at 120 (and I'm not sure if it's really worth that much). Is there a better alternative? I'm not sure what you mean by lighter, but it's got all the keys I need in common, except maybe the left Arrow and the Right Arrow. It also has Windows and Linux keypads, so you can pick which OS you use for games and applications or anything else. The keypad layout is slightly different than an Apple layout, but has quite a bit in common with MS. The best part is that it can be configured for whatever keyboard layout you like.

But they don't have the same "feel", since they use rubber instead of traditional keys., but its "feeling" is not quite the same.

If you have a Macbook Pro, then it's easy to switch between Windows and Mac. No need to buy extra hardware.

But, to address my earlier comment, gaming on a Mac is often considered overkill. If your goal is to game, and you'll use both machines for non-gaming use, it's more economical to buy a laptop or other device capable of doing both than it is to spend money on a keyboard that does not meet your needs (or those of most Mac users).

But you can take advantage of the full functionality of a Mac with a keyboard/mouse combination (if you need) if that's more comfortable for you. But if you just want to play games on Mac, a USB keyboard is a much better option. With a USB keyboard you don't have to worry about the keyboard not being detected/configured, and you don't have to mess around with USB drivers.

Is 8.8 8.8 a public DNS?

Yes, this 8.

8 Google Public DNS, 8.4 Microsoft Azure DNS, OpenDNS, or Fast Forward DNS - are all Public DNSs. The answer lies somewhere between "No", "Yes", and "Don't Be Silly". And we can help, too!

Let's take a few steps back and have a look at the current situation of how DNS works. I'll explain what a DNS is, why it can only do as it's name says, why it's bad, why Public DNSs like 8.8, 8.4 or 9.9 are used on most popular devices like phones, watches, tablets, etc., which one is best, and for which cases in which scenario(s) we can use a Public DNS instead of an internal one.

And I'll end with: How you can help! In Detail. When you connect your device to the internet you're basically doing these things, when the connection is established: Obtain an IP-address (if your local ISP's router has not already done so). Obtain a hostname (if it was not already available). Obtain the public (or more precise for a mobile user, public) IP of the server your device is trying to reach. A "real" local (more precise: real public) IP address. That's the one your device should use to make all DNS requests to your default router/modem/mobile broadband provider.

Why do we need the 4th step when we just talked about IP addresses? We don't. Unless you're making a DNS request to a CDN, a webshop (and then it's the webshop's DNS), or another CDN.

But this is our first topic: Who is going to answer those DNS queries? The default answer. This is obviously the biggest problem of all, it's impossible to run local DNS because no one is willing to answer these requests. But who will? Let's take a step back.

For many years it was impossible to run a DNS that could give different responses for different endpoints, that's why a normal (internal) DNS was used.
