Rosewill boards 20% off on NewEgg

Code: EMCXVWV234

I know not that many people around here use rosewill, I've had mine for months and it's been working fine.

$56 shipped mx brown full keyboard, not a bad deal

Nice find.  You could buy it just for the switches too.  But it's not a bad board by any means.  I use a mx Red Rosewill at work.

was wondering, do you feel like the Rosewill board is a lot louder? I dunno why but I get that feel when typing on it, compared to my QFR.

Just tried to order a Rosewell 104 key mx red switch model but could not because newegg won't ship it to IL...

I just want some cheap switches...

Edit: newegg will ship certain rosewell models to IL but not others... rather inconsistent of them.

I haven't noticed any increase in volume.  Maybe it's psychosomatic?

These new batches are lower in quality btw. This is based on several that I've opened up.

the Blacks are $60 before the 20% off. ~50 bucks for a NIB Cherry mech board is by no means unreasonable. My Rosewill with Blacks has been working fine since I got it. Has occasional oddities but usually unplugging and plugging it back in will fix them. (locked up once, and 2 or 3 times it stopped registering keystrokes randomly.)

Nope, but not all sales are created equal, either.

The price on that outdated board with blacks is temping. If I didn't already own one i'd be bugging my wife about it.

Gaahh, wow.  That's crazy.  Even at $50 I thought this was a decent deal for the switches alone.

It was most likely a pricing error considering it was paired with a low end chip that's been outdated for years.

Wow, that's awesome. I hope that happens again, though I kinda doubt it will.

I'm not holding my breath.
