your post has confused people, especially me.
your're practically making a franken board from Rosewill, Ducky and Filco. Now why would you do that? Isn't that a lot of trouble, waiting time and extra costs?
If you're already a keyboard pro and know exactly what you want, that's fine. But if you're just buying to try out, why can't you just buy a Rosewill and stick with it until you decide it isn't for you?
Looking at your address, South Africa isn't exactly the middle of Seoul. Shipping from almost anyone on geekhack (as well as any supplier in China, Taiwan, Europe, USA) won't be cheap.
Hi Everyone,
My first post on Geekhack. I know the Rosewill vs Filco comparison has been made ad nauseam but I am looking specifically at getting a Rosewill 9000 (Brown) with a set of ducky PBT side printed caps (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=230) or a a standard Filco Ninja Majestouch-2. The keycaps and Rosewill come from the same supplier while the Filco comes from someone else otherwise I would have looked at just getting the Filco with the PBT keycaps but having to import them separately makes it ludicrously expensive and I am also not yet 100% on my switch choice (thinking Browns), there is no where in South Africa where I can go to test them. I don't think I am going to hate the browns but it is a worry, don't really want to get an expensive Filco and then end up hating the switches.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Just some background, I don't care about backlighting or media keys or anything like that really. I have that now and I don't use it at all. I have a mouse with extra keys which does my media controls anyway. I do quite a bit of typing and I play some FPS and Starcraft etc.
Thanks.
