Rosewill RK-9000V2 still made by Costar?

[Hyde]

As we know Rosewill RK-9000 was made by Costar and at the time was the cheapo alternatives to Filco except it was plagued by the weak mini b plug.

I just noticed they have version 2 out now.

It says it's still made in Taiwan, do you guys know if it's still made by Costar also did they fix the mini b plug issue?

With shipping it will be about $100 so if they fixed the mini b issue I'd say it's a good buy.

Though to me this feels like they re-branded CM Storm XT and in which case it might be an indication that it's still Costar.

it shows a shot of the redesigned usb connector... I'm not sure on the costar question but I'm about 99% it probably is still costar looking like and coming from Taiwan...

Ohhh awesome review !!!

To be honest I'm thinking to get the Filco Double Shot but it only comes in black and my Filco is white, so I'm thinking to get another budget good quality black keyboard just for the keycaps.

I'm thinking too much like a true geekhacker.
