I have one of the Rosewill's with red switches (RK-9000RE) and it's an excellently made keyboard. I really have no experience with the two others. I'm sure someone who's tried all three can compare them for you. Good Luck.

I have heard bad things about ducky. Rosewill and WASD are most basically identical in all major aspects and probably including build quality. So what to choose?

Pick the WASD.

The Rosewill logo is just gross, and the keyboard is overall just really boring. With the WASD you can customize it to however you want and it doesn't come with fugly logos either.

WASD let you customize the keycaps to your heart's content. You can choose any color you like for aesthetic effect.

Cant go wrong with a WASD or Rosewill.

Never a Ducky with quack engineering.

What's with all the Ducky hatin'??  I'm a proud owner of a Ducky board and I love it to bits!  There's nothing wrong with them.  Apart from the use of Cherry stabilisers (yes personally I prefer the Costar stabilisers on my Filco) I can't fault my Ducky.

I know the 1xxx series weren't that great but their 9xxx are fantastic...  I guess it's going to take them a while to distant themselves from that but to be fair, it was their 1st attempt.

Like the rest of the guys here... out of the 3 I would also pick WASD.  It's on my list of boards to own in the near future.  If it was between a Filco or a WASD I'd still go WASD.  Unfortunately WASD still lacks a TKL.

I would definitely recommend WASD the guy that runs the place is really nice and as a community we should continue to support his business as he continues to support our community :thumb:

What do you guys think about the base on the wasd's?? It looks kind chunky, has anyone had a problem with it being to big? Or is it comfy?

My wasd keyboard is not as chunky as you think... I.think its a normal size for me, I find it comfy same size as almost any regular keyboard
