I'm really interested in the price. I need a 104 board for Mac, and would prefer brown switches, for cheap.

No. Its the magic eraser that fscked the texture. The wheel did not, BUT it CAN. USE CAUTION. PRACTICE!

The blues just came back in stock at 92.86$.  Would this be a solid intro mechanical board?

I've seen the Rosewill logo.  After asking that question, I'm assuming you haven't.

Good news. I expect the other flavors will be around the same time.

Anyone try the 3in1 method on their logo yet? Just picked up a cherry red and threw some mcmasterr silicone o-rings on, keyboard's a dream except for this damn eye sore of a logo. Not too keen on ruining the plastic with abrasives, wondering if anyone has had luck using some kind of solvent.

Sounds like a baseball team.  I don't much care for reds either, or at least the couple of setups I've tried with them to date.  I'm a confirmed blue's fan.


Now I have never tried anything except monterey blues and cherry blues, but I just love the clicky!

I've used magic eraser to remove painted on logos before. It is a very mild abrasive.

Ripster speaks truth, I am the Stevie Wonder of geekhack.  The rubber pinstripe eraser tricked worked as well as I could see.  My mistake was experimenting with other methods to get rid of the lock labels.  THAT didn't go well.  My case needs a good sand and polish now, or maybe Ripster of the Healthy Eyes would be willing to spot me a case sandblasting in exchange for a yet unnamed reciprocation. ;)

I ordered one with browns a few days ago.....should be here in 12hrs or so. I am trying to resist the urge to drop another 60 on caps but we'll see how the stock ones look. I've been checking out a few cherry pos boards to salvage some doubleshots.

This is actually going to be the first mechanical keyboard of my own....my friend stole his keyboard back from me D:
