Title: New RK-9000 series coming
Post by: drsauced on Fri, 02 September 2011, 14:36:39
Well, I haven't seen this posted here yet, but new RK-9000's are coming!

These might even be coming out the same factory as the Leopolds (vile rumor started here), but $10 cheaper.

It looks like MX Reds are getting easier to find now.

Rosewill is OEMed by Costar, IIRC (i.e. not Leopold).  For the Filco lovers, this a cheaper way to get a very similar 'board (even if the logo is ugly).

The detachable cable is a nice addition.

If the Reds are around $90, I might have to get one and find a use for it.

This will probably be my board of choice when I decide to get browns. Actually, I'll probably get Rosewill boards for all the major switches except blue. I wouldn't be surprised to see a black board come out of them within a year or so. Then we just wait until a major manufacturer throws out some clears, and I will have no money left at all.

When they're available, they will be in reds, browns, and blacks as well as blues.

I need a 104 brown for work, so this will definitely be the one I get, since it will be cheaper than a Leopold and w/ Costar stabilizers and detachable usb cable. Pretty much my perfect board.
