Does anybody have personal experience with this keyboard? I've been looking for a gaming mechanical keyboard and wanted to know if this will get the job done.

How does the quality of this keyboard compare to Cooler Master CM Storm Quick Fire Pro SGK-4010-GKCR1-US ?

Price is good, but those ratings....................................

I got one with the brown switch in the previous deal. From the start, I had the problem with the cable. Annoying as all hell. And I gotta say, Newegg did not make it easy to get an exchange. It took 3 weeks total and I finally got a new one, which I haven't even opened yet.

I got this same deal last time with the other Rosewill speaker. I think the keyboard is fine for gaming for short periods of time. My hand got cramped after a while so I switched back to my Microsoft 7000 ergo keyboard. I like typing on it though, those red triggers never get old. The charging cable seems really fragile so it is not meant for moving around. If you leave it on a desk and don't kick the cord then it should last a long time.

Almost identical except for the partial backlight on the CM. I find it partially useful. I just don't like the non-tactile switches.

eta: the CM has a really nice cable retention, the rosewill has none--whicj probably contributed to the usb issue

Nice!!

Theres a new illuminated version of the rosewill mechanical keyboards which dont have the mini usb issue, but those are full price

good!

What about the usb port? Did they fix that issue because I heard some people say that they needed to glue it back or something. Also, these keyboards are based on Filco too right?
