Rosewill RK-9000RE Keybcap Fading
« on: Sat, 28 April 2012, 07:19:09 »
I am absolutely loving my Rosewill but I have one issue with it. The keycaps absolutely suck. My WASD are already fading really bad. So I was thinking of buying some new caps from Qtan, should I go for white or black and engraved or printed.

I love the look of white printed, engraved tends to get dirty.

It's not fading... It's just dirty and there's no known way to clean effectively and safely.

Just look at my Dirty Cherry keys.

I had the same issue with my Rosewill.  I have been slowly replacing all the keys with SP keys.

While I abhor the cherry mx-red, I applaud that you at least have a costar board.

You should really consider the blank caps from feng, he has an ebay page too so u can see the pictures. They're cheaper then qtan's prices and they ship from the US so you won't have to wait as long.

And as far as service, Feng is great, I ordered a set of blank white, and the left-shift was crushed in the shipping, but he sent me a replacement super quick.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get white engraved,, oil gets trapped in the white engravings, and turn black with dirt and gunk,, DISGUSTING..... like EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

If you get the black engraved, the same thing will happen, but at least you won't see it.
