As a quick message to people who haven't owned one yet, I own both and they ARE good keyboards, except the keys on my 6gv2 are starting to because "Shiny" (for use of a better word) and I got it for Christmas (as a gift to myself XDXD)

tl;dr
Keys get shiny FAST, buy replacement keys for WASD, if you are a gamer.

P.S should have mentioned I game a fair bit, bit 2 weeks is still too fast.
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Full Disclosure:
This keyboard does not use US Layout.  Many punctuation and other symbols have been moved.  Make sure that is ok with yourself before you buy  ;D
Rosewill RK-9000RE #1 (Broke on day 26, fixed with Scotch Tape on day 42, barely holding together)
Rosewill RK-9000RE #2 (Lubed, still in the box.  I am afraid to use it because it will break like the first one)
