Post by: thegunner100 on Tue, 07 August 2012, 11:23:19: Eek, ~$108 shipped for a full sized keyboard... not too interesting imo. Probably should have went with white keycaps as well.

Post by: The_Beast on Tue, 07 August 2012, 11:29:46: At $65 they are well worth it but not at $108. I just noticed last night that the case is bent in near my spacebar.

I still really like the board, but it's because it was cheap. If it was a Filco/expensive, I would have been pissed.

Post by: xJaPx on Tue, 07 August 2012, 11:34:30: jeeez $108, price set higher than a leopold? and only $20 cheaper than a filco? Either swnig for the fences or make a budget product, price is far too steep for a rosewill

Post by: alaricljs on Tue, 07 August 2012, 12:17:33: CM Storm may have stolen any possibility of that.

Nope full size only.

Post by: derb2k2 on Tue, 07 August 2012, 18:13:31: might not be worth it. Definitely looks nice though. it looks like it might suffer from teh same fate as the rk9000 since it'll have the same mini USB connection on teh keyboard. weird

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Tue, 07 August 2012, 19:24:34: RK9000 in white. Amazing. It does look nicer than the black one, but they totally fail for me if not offering in linear switches.
