Filco replacement caps on a Rosewill
« on: Tue, 14 December 2010, 09:53:40 »
First of all, hi...(first timer)

I have a Rosewill RK9000, and I was wondering if  this set of replacement keys will properly fit my keyboard. (I know that they are out of stock on this particular site, but if I find out that they are what I'm looking for, I will hunt them down somewhere)

I've heard a ton of people say that the Rosewill is pretty much just a Filco with a different branding. The product families are owned by Filco and basically the Rosewill's only difference is the logo.
(Reference: search geekhack for any rk9000 reviews)

Ever since I've learned to touch type I have wanted blank keys so much and I could never find a complete set of black blanks that fit the Cherry MX without a ton of custom ordering from a less than reputable site.

So my question is will these keys made for a Filco Majestouch fit the Rosewill RK9000?

Thanks

I had some Filco keys on my RK-9000 for a brief period (As seen in my Avatar). The profile and such is the exact same, so there should be no issue. Aside from maybe the stabilized keys, which I doubt will be any different.

Yeah thats what I though, that the Filco replacements would fit the switches but I wasn't sure if that full set would be correct with all the special sized keys, like the Caps Lock/Enter/Space.

Thanks

I currently have my rosewill with the filco blanks and it looks decent. Just be sure to check out the wiki for removing keycaps. Makes it super easy!
