Rosewill RK-9000 (MX Blues) down to $70, free shipping
« on: Wed, 21 July 2010, 12:20:45 »
EDIT 5: Item is back in stock, but the promo code is expired. ChiefValue is looking into it and may extend the promo code for the keyboard.

On ChiefValue.

Newegg owns Chiefvalue. RMA address is the same and the mail headers show outgoing mail going through mx10.newegg.com.

I don't see any diodes in there, although it could be the angle:

I'm on the fence. If it's not NKRO that's grounds for an RMA. If it is NKRO it seems to be a very good price.

If there's some horrible build quality issue I could eat the restocking fee and return shipping.

They don't have to use diodes with leads. Instead, they could very well use surface mount components (you'd have to expose the PCB to be sure).

I may be that guinea pig. If it doesn't have NKRO I'd RMA it. If they wouldn't take an RMA (or expected me to ship back on my dime because the product was falsely advertised) I'd chargeback.

EDIT: Product is not currently on the site, but the error page says it could be due to catalog updates. On Newegg.com it was delisted Monday and relisted Tuesday without explanation.

EDIT 2: Delisted from Newegg again too. Weirdness.

So ChiefValue called back. They confirmed the coupon wasn't there when it should have been (the same coupon code also took $30 off a Wacom item, but it didn't work on that) and she didn't have a reason why the RK-9000 was delisted. Could be back, might be gone forever (find it hard to believe. Newegg has to have some, they'd close them out.)

Sorry, the product you are looking for cannot be found. This could happen because we are encountering technical problems or we are updating our product catalog. Please try again at a later time.

Shame, because I'd seriously consider getting one at that price.

Again, Newegg delisted it Monday, relisted it Tuesday, and delisted again it Wednesday (today). So it could pop back up tomorrow...

Nope.

We are sorry. ChiefValue.com does not ship internationally. At this time. We only ship within the United States and Puerto Rico.


Makes sense, since Newegg owns Chiefvalue and they have the exact same shipping policy.

If these 'boards are made by Costar, they use surface mount diodes, so you won't see them looking down into the switch.

Newegg deactivated the item instead of marking it OOS, which may indicate a problem with the board or its stock.

Or it could be an employee ****ing things up. Who knows.

Rosewill is an odd duck of a company. Much of their budget peripheral line is typical cheap crap, but they also make stuff built from the ground up for quality, intentionally not cutting corners found cut in big name brands. And then they sell it for 20% less. Do not underestimate this company.

If they put their mind to making a good mechanical board, I wouldn't be surprised if it was as high quality as any of the premiums, at a lower price with a few improvements included almost as an insult. The braided cable and laser etched caps is typical Rosewill behavior. They knew their competition and they're taking aim. Looking at it now, it wouldn't surprise me if it were essentially a Filco with a better cable, fancy red chassis and lasered keys. This would make it a giant-killer out of the gate. Then again it could be a piece of garbage. (plus, no clue as to rollover ability)

Judging by design and construction alone, the $15 RK7300 is the highest quality keyboard I've ever used that was under $80. However, their mice are the worst pieces of **** ever made.

Edit: The Rosewill website: N-Key rollover: 104 Key could press at the same time, avoid any key jamming (Only PS2 mode, at USB Mode 6-key rollover)

Rosewill is Newegg's house brand (and as it turns out so was ABS).  They OEM other stuff.  I would like to know who actually makes this keyboard and if it's under any other brand.

It's probably a Costar CST-104, which if I'm not mistaken, is the same company that Diatec uses for the Filco brand.

The keycaps are different.  Back Space vs Backspace,  CapsLock vs Caps Lock.

They have different runs for keycaps at least.

No way to know unless you crack them open and look at the insides if they have the same manufacturer

The CST 104 does look like the Filco, pretty close appearance.

Answer was no, promo expired, they insisted it was out of stock for the past week. :(

EDIT: I asked Newegg to match the price that Chiefvalue had but screwed up, especially since they own Chiefvalue. Keep your fingers crossed.

Yet another reply by me. Huzzah.

The rep at ChiefValue called back, and after some misunderstanding, I got her to understand that the coupon code never worked while the RK-9000 was in stock. They're taking a look into it and we may or may not get a working discount code.

So Chiefvalue got back to me and confirmed it was out of stock (ETA: September 6) and that they may or may not offer the $30 coupon code again.

So we'll just let this thread die down until then...

I'll probably order it after all of this teasing. The RK-9000 knows how to play hard to get.

"Unavailable" again.

This seems very strange.  Are they just getting a few in at a time?  Beyond how odd that would be, why does this new product from a house brand keep going "unavailable" instead of "out of stock"?  One would not expect it to be in any danger of getting discontinued or having some kind of unreasonably long restocking time.

I have to wonder if maybe they are only selling small quantities in fits and starts to avoid getting dinged by large numbers of returns in case there are quality control issues.  But are there really so many people lined up to buy these that doing this would make a big difference?

Oh, it's spelled RoseWILL.


I think Ripster's theory is likely - ABS/Newegg wanted an Alienware-esque brand name, but with an asian ring to it, and what better way to accomplish that than rose + Roswell = Rosewill?

Up until a year or two ago the ASUS slogan was "Rock Solid - Heart Touching".  I can only guess that these things go over better in the east...

I expected a more reasonable price.  Rosewill is just Newegg's house brand.
I'm not sure what that link is supposed to show us, but clicking through to Newegg gives us the usual "Deactivated. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked. "

Interesting if the coupon truly applies to all Rosewill items. I got mine for slightly less, so I'm not crying alligator tears right now.

If only I hadn't had the traumatic experience of using a Rosewill PSU that actually exploded--literally, fire and sparks everywhere--inside my case.

This was a Cherry G80-3000 that a Geekhacker posted.  He swore no cigarettes were involved.

Not as far as I can tell.



I mean, I lucked out (long story, including groveling) and got it for $72.

The expected sale price of $80 should happen on October 11th if OCN is right.

Right.  Pretty sure that I looked at it on newegg on Wednesday and it was $99.99 not $79.99, at least when I checked.
