so it's basically a Christmas themed 9000 series with a CMStorm style win-lock?  "all i want for Christmas is my mini-usb plug not to rip off the board."

I like the "rise" case..

But I am Not all up for WIB setups, because theres too much plastic in the tubing, IN WHICH you can not clamp without the risk of cracking.

It's a Costar "Day2" which comes from Costar with the red/green two color system. Either that or it's a reverse engineered knockoff - the Day2's been around for at least a year now, and it would not surprise me if Newegg was stealing other people's work.

The article made it seem like it was fixed red/green in those locations.  But yeah, saw Costar's example a few months back.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.....

As far as it seems it is also costar made just like the original rk9000 so more or less just a backlight version of that really. More interested in that neutron case really. Only hard to tell if it can have 2x 4 hdd racks side by side. If so it could be a rather nice home server case. Even if not still pretty good storage wise for many people with 4x 3TB drives.

The Mini RK-9100 has a gloss/semi-gloss case?    That's one way to avoid people that want it for the case and switches

The Mini RK-9100 appears to be a rebrand of Tex Keyboard.  And it's aluminum casing on the outside.

Though didn't they already showcase RK-9200 last year?  Are they just gonna keep showcasing it and never release it?  (Look up Rosewill Helios RK-9200)

As for the red and green led I think that's sorta like the limitation with dual colour LED technology.  Hopefully they'll be able to do either blue/white or blue/red later.  Or just blue.... to be honestly I don't care about the other colours LOL.

[alaricljs]

Um no... The mini-9100 is the TKL, the Micro RK-9000 is the Tex.

Just look at the pics!  http://blog.laptopmag.com/rosewill-new-mechanical-keyboards

Ahhh my bad, but I see how it is now.  lol the Mini-9100 even has the same LED location as the Filco.  But yeah I wonder why they go the glossy route.

Haven't they learn from Das and Razer not to use gloss surface?  I mean even Razer has corrected that ever since.
