Rosewill RK-9000 down to $70, free shipping

Hi

Yes I still have the double space  problem, as you can see I just did it (edit, no you cant see it because the forum ate it). Whenever I type my usual way it either happens between words or it happens right after the first letter of the next word. It almost always seems to happen on words that start with my left hand.

When I consciously try to avoid doing it, like clearing the space bar completely before I move onto the next word it doesn't happen but it slows down my typing.

I go back and forth in my mind whether or not it's my fault for the way I type or something or the keyboard, since you can really sort of "ride" the actuation point on the keys it seems. There is a point under the clickyness, but above the repeat zone where you can still actuate the key. So maybe it's sort of spring related somehow. I'll try to hit the spacebar with some conviction to see if it goes away completely.

double s pace count for this was twice between words, and twice now after an s.

I'd be interested to know, for folks experiencing the unwanted double space issue, what keyboards folks where using prior to the Rosewill RK-9000?

I'm curious too, I went from a rubber dome to BS at home and a scissor at work. Haven't had issues with those.

I was using a $10 Lite-On membrane keyboard and before that a microsoft comfort curve.

When I try to do the test on elitekeyboards about chattering keys, I can't replicate any issues. Or I will do something like mash keys like "hsfsef sefjislfj seflisejfsef sflisefjsef sefsefjs" for 10 minutes straight, I'll never see a double space or space after the first letter of a word, but I do quite regularly end up with them in my normal typing.

That's why I am very hesitant to say there's something physically wrong with the keyboard. It's annoying that I have to hunt down double spaces every few sentences but other than that it is really great to type on.

I just read on Teamliquid that the RK-9000 is on sale for $80 CAD on Newegg.ca. Can't confirm it though.

Looks like it was just a one or two-day sale.  Now over.  Crap.
Daily drivers are:
Microsoft Natural (the original, and still going strong)
Microsoft Natural Elite

Try to focus during your typing on your thumb action/spacebar use. The sooner you notice you're doing something wrong the sooner you can correct it.

They did that before.   The reviews weren't too hot on the headset.  I'd rather get free keys.

or free shipping :cool:

Just got this today. I used the coupon to bring it down to $80, so I paid $87 total. I'd say it's worth it. This is my first experience with Cherry blue switches, and I love that I'm already bottoming out less than with browns.
Cherry MX Blue: Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless. Cherry MX Black: TG3 KBA-BLTD-5RBUVS (Police Cruiser keyboard). Cherry MX Clear: KBC Poker (modded with Ergo Clears) Cherry MX Brown: Goldtouch GTC-077 USB numpad. Buckling Spring: IBM Model M 1391401 (1989-01-03 and 1991-11-21).

LOL you too? Them browns are really light! Guess being on that Model M for two weeks was the cause <_<.

I was wondering the same thing since I've been pimping them out to a lot of people.

If you can't get find this the good news is you can get a Filco now on Amazon thanks to the good folks at The Keyboard Company having worked something out with them. It will be Fulfillment by Amazon which means it's like a normal domestic Amazon purchase.

Otherwise it's the Leopolds at Elite Keyboards, although they currently are only tenkeyless models if that's important to you.

Of course the Filcos are much more expensive than what I was planning on paying, and the Leopolds only come in the tenkeyless so far.

They'll be back in stock.

I told ya guys to wait and not buy those Ugly OCN Duckys.  March is turning out to be a good month.  


Do you mean the RK-9000 will be back in stock at Newegg? Did they say so somewhere?
