Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard RK-9000RE w/ Cherry MX Red Switch $64, Keyboard RK-9000BL w/ Cherry MX Black Switch $64 + Free Shipping

Still one of my favorite KBs. Too bad I want a tenkeyless. In my experience Reds are the way to go (I don't game). Browns and Blues lack responsiveness and take higher pressure in order to register. Blacks are pretty nonexistent and also require a lot of pressure.

The one I want (Brown) is left off of the sale again. Figures.

The same promo code works on the Brown one. I was looking at that one as well and with this code the total is $89.99 - $18.00 = $71.99.

Silly to suggest blacks are nonexistent on a thread advertising a sale on a black. They do require extra pressure but it pretty much eliminates accidental key presses and if one tries to minimize key travel instead of bottoming out it takes less effort. I have yet to try out reds but blacks, browns, and blue are all acceptable in my book and blues are my preferred bettered with o-rings.

No guarantees on sales for blackfriday but they have had this pricing on the rosewill boards several times already. The Razer blackwidow is on sale now for $53 which I think is the lowest price I've seen on a mechanical to date. I've only have good experience with the blackwidow and prefer it over the rosewill boards. Of course if you want something other than blue, you wouldn't go for the blackwidow.

Perhaps OP should change title and details to indicate that the code is in fact a 20% off all rosewill keyboards. As is, it implies only the keyboards listed are on sale.

My personal experience with the blackwidow has been flawless. I haven't any problem with rosewill boards either, I just prefer the feel of the blackwidow. Good luck on your purchase.

Someone link to a detailed description of the differences between them all? I game heavily (BF3, BL2 and future games)

which one, the blackwidow or the Rosewill cherry MX red/blue, is better for a student looking for typing? thanks!

My first PC keyboard was a model M, which I became a total fan of in no time. I still like those, but they're hard to find, and require adapters, etc. On top of that, they're very noisy... Is there a place where one can try the different models (of actuators) before buying?
