Title: hello geekhack!
Post by: ShortStock on Tue, 27 November 2012, 03:28:13

hello ladies and gentlemen,

dropping by to say hi!

i have owned 2 mechanical keyboards total.  the first one was the coolermaster quickfire pro (brown switches).  i got rid of that because it never agreed with my motherboard. 

i currently am using Rosewill's rk-9000bri (brown switches, white body).    I am taking a risk with the usb cable based on the reviews, i am using a 90 degree mini usb cable to avoid accidentally hitting it.  and i have searched around and i recall someone mentioning that those keyboards made by rosewill that were manufactured in 2012 do not have the usb problems. 

only time will tell :)

Yeap, the newer rosewills have a more reinforced port, which should be fine :)

Welcome to GeekHack, and enjoy your stay, while your wallet doesnt :D

I wouldn't say the problem is completely gone. The USB port is superglued down now, but the design is still the same where the mini-USB connector is soldered to the PCB. Rosewill needs to do what CM or ducky did by adding channels to hold the cable so it doesn't stress the USB port.
