I'm surprised to see these on amazon since Rosewill is newegg's own inhouse brand. Newegg and amazon are competitors, so not sure why it's sold on amazon.

Wow, thats weird. However, the prices are identical between amazon and newegg. You're not saving anything by going with amazon.
Seems like newegg is starting to sell rosewill products to whoever will buy them.
Makes sense what with the ISO variants of their keyboards spotted in Europe.

It's surprising that they are going to do this in america as well.. but.. this can only be good news for consumers.

I bought the last one 30 mins ago!  MUAHAHAHA

> Dude this keyboard has the worst reviews, except Razer.

Yeah I know

And I know it isn't really worth $75.00 for that reason.

I just need a new keyboard to use while I am picking out my One True Keyboard To Rule Them All(tm)

This keyboard has a numeric keypad and I needed ***1*** keyboard to definitely have a numeric keypad.

My other keyboards, I don't need to be so demanding about.  So I might buy a few other keyboards that have been amputated.

I don't consider Rosewill to be a respectable manufacturer.  And if my USB port breaks like so many others have I will write a scathing review.

I was going to buy a Leopold for $90.00 but Leopold intentionally made the spacebar nonstandard so that I can't replace it.  Since the Leopold and Rosewill keycaps are are of insufficient quality I am forced to replace the keycaps.  I do not want to fiddle around with my keycaps.  It is just something that must be done since all so-called "modern" keyboard companies provide inferior quality keycaps.

Stop saying that, you made that up and it isn't true.

Not sure where this came from either.  As long as they aren't pad printed they aren't going to wear off any time soon...

If you actually knew anything about Rosewill, then you'd know the actually don't manufacture anything. They just rebrand a very wide variety of products, and keyboards is only one of them. Costar makes these RK-9000 series, the same OEM that makes Filco, Das, WASDkeyboard, etc.

And knowing that the USB port is the achilles heels of this keyboard and you still bought it anyways, you have nothing to complain about. If it wiggles loose in the future, that is 100% user fault. Poker, Pure, and korean customs all have PCB-mounted USB port, and you rarely hear of USB port breaking on those. That's because generally people that own these non-mainstream keyboards are more careful on how they treat the keyboards. If you're going to move it around a lot, just don't use the stiff braided cable that came with the Rosewill.

I am not sure what you mean by "moving it around".

If you mean "carrying it to LAN parties" then the answer is no, I won't be doing that.

If you mean "Will I superglue the keyboard down to my desk so that I can't move it around on my desk" then the answer is no, I won't superglue my keyboard do my desk.

My keyboard gets moved something like 1 or 2 feet on my desk several times a day.  I have done this with every keyboard I ever owned and never had the connector break.

I never even thought about the cord being "thick".   I wonder if it is so thick that it is hard to move around? .... Hmmm...

Is this why the connector breaks?  Because the cord is super thick and stiff and it puts massive pressure into the connector?

Stop saying that Leopold made a standard spacebar that I can replace.

If I can replace it then PLEASE tell me where I can buy the replacement from?  And in what colors is it available?

Missed it -_-, as I missed the other good deals today
