Need Help!
« on: Wed, 29 December 2010, 02:56:58 »
I need some help finding a good entry mechanical keyboard. I've been eyeballing the Rosewill RK-9000 for a week and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Do you all have any idea of another Cherry Blue keyboard in the same price range that has a nice simple look to it like the Rosewill? I know of the Razer Black Widow keyboard but I think its a little gaudy personally. Also I'd rather have NKRO then macro keys.

adesso mkb-135b = NKRO + basic black w/blue cherries  - my daily driver atm. Got mine for about 86 bucks shipped and arrived in 2 days.  Really want another one of these myself  (love the usb hub and audio jacks on this thing).    Might be less robust in build than the Rosewill though, but I don't have one to compare direct with it yet, but its a good price and MX blues NKRO

Das Keyboard with student discount is another option if you can live with the glossy bezels.

Thanks for the ideas, though I cant seem to decide if I want blue or brown. Doesn't help that there are no Microcenters or Frys nearby to try anything.

Try going to Best Buy and see if they have any Razer Blackwiddows.  Those have the blue switches in them.

Check thier website, you can put in your zipcode and see if they carry the black widow at their store.  No best buy within 100 miles of here does, not sure if its a store item

The Black Widow seems like its online only, as I cant find a store anywhere near me with one.

The glossy look is what I'm trying to avoid. I looked at em and just had nightmares about keeping it clean. Thanks though!

Anyone have any ideas as far as Cherry brown is concerned? I hate to admit it but I know I'll end up buying and trying every kind of mechanical out there eventually.

The idea was for you to have an opportunity to try the blue switch before deciding if you wanted to begin looking for one to purchase.  As far as browns go, you will have to take the pludge and just buy one as I dont know of any retailer in the US where you can go try them.  If your going to try them all anyway, might as well just buy them all and sell the ones you dont like.
