Title: Rosewill vs Das?
Post by: mouse.the.lucky.dog on Thu, 01 December 2011, 11:18:33

Looking at newegg, it seems prices of Das are coming down ( at least temporarily ) to within a few buck of Rosewill.

Given that they are almost the same cost, which would you choose?

Glossy or Matte? I'd go with matte.

If anybody has a Das please weigh it.

Will do after the weekend, unless our scale chooses to be a **** again.

Really can't go wrong either way. Both are excellent as I have had both. I would go with the one you think looks better.

I would just close my eyes and pick.

I dunno.  Which would you choose?

I have found most of the time people post keyboard questions like this but already know which they like better.

Well not this time.
Taking a list of things,

• Both have similar keyboard layouts.
• Both lack media keys.
• Both have roughly the same slant.
• Both are niggardly with the space between "backspace" and "insert". (Sigh.)
• Both lack audio or usb ports.
• Both are not backlit.
• Both use the same switches.

The fact is that unless someone mentions some feature I can't think of the choice will be based on looks alone. I ask hoping someone will point something out.

The biggest difference really is the case and the logo and Rosewill also is available with red or black switches.
