15% off all keyboards on newegg today!
« on: Wed, 22 August 2012, 22:20:02 »
79.99 and free 2 day shipping.  Of course, there is the USB issue.  Just a heads up for those who were waiting for the sale.

Damn if it were not for the IL shipping restriction I would get one.

If only it was back down to $64, I'd think about getting one.

Hopefully their Quickfire Rapids will go on sale down the road--that's what I'm really after.

Can't stack that on the Rosewill RK-9000BR since it's already discounted :(

I didn't purchase, but it worked for me when I put it in the cart. Came out to $67.99.

$64.99 after additional 20% discount is the lowest on record. But that was only for MX Reds, Blues, or Blacks. Never for Browns.

15% off all keyboards on newegg today!
« Reply #11 on: Thu, 23 August 2012, 11:03:17 »
Good day everyone:

Just picked up a Das Professional for $92 w/ 2 day shop runner shipping. They've got 15% off all keyboards today. The Rosewill Browns are only 79.99 before the 15% off promo. And with the promo, you can get the reds for around $85. I would've gotten a Rosewill but they won't ship it to my state...

Promo code: EMCNBHG53

Get'em while they're hot!

On sale these boards are 100% worth it. But at regular sale price, not so much.

They do make good work/beater boards or to test out switches. I'm glad I spent $65 to test out blues, instead of $150 on filco/other board only to find out I don't like blues :D

Hmm... after reconsidering, I decided against the Rosewill and went for a CM Storm instead.  Still only cost $67.99, but the CM comes with a $10 mail-in-rebate. :)

Doesn't it worry you guys reading all of the negative reviews about the Rosewill and faulty usb connectors? It wouldn't bother me if it were just a few, but there are a slew of them, and on Amazon.

I'm using a Rosewill right now (at work), and I don't have any issue with the USB connector. But I don't move my keyboard around a lot, either.

Rosewill has probably fixed it by now. Newegg/rosewill has always been very good with its customer support.

That's good to know. I wouldn't have moved mine around a lot either, and I would've gotten one, but at the end... I thought... ok it's worth it at that price, but is it worth it at that price plus the price of having it reshipped? So I went with the Das... Which is also a great board.

At that price you learn how to repair keyboards because you don't mind pulling it apart.  Helps if you already have tools to do it tho.

I went in for a RK-9000 with blue switches. Here's hoping it isn't crap.
