You can use it for typing sure (im typing this on blacks), but I prefer my blues or browns for typing and my blacks for hon/fps. But thats just my opinion. | ||

As someone who hates spending money... should I give up on getting a brown, and just grab the CM Rapidfire with blue switches? The tactile feel of the browns without the annoying clicking noise sounded perfect to me, but if it's 40 bucks just to not have the clicking, I dunno if that's worth it. BTW Newegg has a sale right now for 20% off Rosewill keyboards... their reviews are just negative enough that I'd rather not go with that brand though. | ||

Meanwhile, CM Storm Rapidfires and Razer Blackwidows are selling for $75 on Amazon with blue switches.

Afaik the only problem with the newer Rosewills is the removable cable. So if you take good care of that I think its definitely worth getting a Rosewill. And get the switch type you want, you are spending a fairly large amount of money on a keyboard, make it something you are really going to like. Blues are a love/hate kind of thing, you really don't want to drop $75 on a keyboard only to hate it later. | ||

Blues are a love/hate kind of thing, you really don't want to drop $75 on a keyboard only to hate it later. Rosewills have a squeaky spacebar and the paint on the keys peels off, at least for some reviewers. Since I plan to have a mech keyboard for a long time, I don't want to risk having one that will have no letters on it in a year. I was definitely thinking along the lines of "if I'm going to spend this much, might as well get what I want"... but then when there's a $40+ price difference between the standard blues and the browns that I want, that's enough money to make me reconsider. | ||

Althoug blacks are linear and don't have the tactile feedback and its heavier, I find no problem typing on my CM Storm wih black switches. You have to try the switches yourself to know if you like the switches or not | ||

I don't see the problem, its nice having a detachable cable for lans etc. I have 3 boards with detachable cables, and have had no troubles, nor do i see the downside | ||
