If I were to ask you what the largest country in the world by land area is, you would probably answer Russia -- which is, indeed, the correct answer. But if I were to ask you what the second largest country in the world by land area is and you answered Canada, you would be wrong. In fact, by that metric, Canada is not even the third largest country in the world. Our land may be from sea to sea, but it follows behind China and the United States; Canada is only the second largest country in the world if you count the sum of land and water areas within international boundaries and coastlines. Another surprising fact: Russia, while very large, is not as large as you think it is. With a land mass of 148,940,000 square kilometers, Russia is less than half of Africa at 30,200,000 square kilometers. Now that the facts are settled, how come we have such incorrect perceptions about the size of countries? Other than the fact we usually count water into the size of countries, it is also the way we draw maps. The flat maps we are used to is from a 16th century map projection from European cartographer Geert de Kremer, and it greatly exaggerates the size of countries further away from the equator. When it comes to keyboards, what do you think of when I say full-size mechanical keyboard? If you think of a massive chunk of metal and plastic that occupies the majority of your desk, it may be because of what you were used to. The Cooler Master SK650 White Limited Edition is here to shake things up. It is still a full-size mechanical keyboard in a sense it has everything including a numeric keypad, but it is sleek and compact in every way possible. Read on to see how it is different!Read more

Introduction SK650 We got our first glimpse of the Cooler Master SK650 at CES 2019. We were pretty hyped when we saw them too. With ultra slick low-profile designs, fantastic construction, and premium Cherry MX low-profile RGB switches. It seemed like they had a little bit of everything, and we wanted on pretty badly. However, seeing something briefly in a meeting vs having it in your own office can be two very different experiences. Cooler Master has been kind enough to ship one out to me to dig a little deeper into what the SK650 has to offer. So, let's
