Rosewill vs Das?
« on: Thu, 01 December 2011, 11:18:33 »
Looking at newegg, it seems prices of Das are coming down ( at least temporarily ) to within a few buck of Rosewill.

Given that they are almost the same cost, which would you choose?

Glossy or Matte? I'd go with matte.

If anybody has a Das please weigh it.

Will do after the weekend, unless our scale chooses to be a **** again.

Really can't go wrong either way. Both are excellent as I have had both. I would go with the one you think looks better.

I dunno.  Which would you choose?

I have found most of the time people post keyboard questions like this but already know which they like better.



Well not this time.
Taking a list of things,
  • Both have similar keyboard layouts.
  • Both lack media keys.
  • Both have roughly the same slant.
  • Both are niggardly with the space between "backspace" and "insert". (Sigh.)
  • Both lack audio or usb ports.
  • Both are not backlit.
  • Both use the same switches.

The fact is that unless someone mentions some feature I can't think of the choice will be based on looks alone. I ask hoping someone will point something out.

The biggest difference really is the case and the logo and Rosewill also is available with red or black switches.
