Rosewill or DAS??? I will be getting a blue switch.

Rosewill is about 30$ cheaper.
DAS seems have the reputation for best overall quality??

Is there any big difference between the two?

Never touched a Rosewill board, but I love my DAS. Excellent customer service before buying, and a dream to type on (also blue switch).

Hello I've been thinking of getting a rosewill keyboard either browns or reds. The problem is I've read about how the detachable usb cable is very easy to mess up and that has really made me think about whether to get them or not. Right now they've got their red switch version going for $65 if you use the 20% off promo code. What do you guys think? Is it worth the risk? My other option would be to wait for the Corsair red switch to go on sale and buy that, although I don't like the idea of not having the top row of keys not being mechanical.

Also since the red switches require the least ammount of force among the cherry mx switches, do they still take more force to press than your average $10 membrane keyboard?
Anyone have any experience with the Rosewill keyboards?

membrane keyboards are 65g actuation. so reds are lighter than membrane. Rosewill keyboards are fine, just don't mess with the detachable cord once you plug it in.

I managed to find an old Unitek in my basement. I haven't really tried it out yet, but it came from an old IBM computer and contains spring switches and weighs a metric fuck-ton. Compared to my Das (blue) it is really quiet. I actually quite enjoy the sound if i could figure out how to connect it to a modern computer.

Those look more like Cherry MX black than buckling spring on the Unitek. Can you confirm?

Well that explains why they are so much more silent than the blues

About to order a filco ninja tenkeyless with brown switches, but i just saw that the red switch version of that keyboard is coming out in the middle of june. As im using blues right now and i've only also tried black switches, my main problem with my current one(blues) is double tapping, is this issue also prevalent with brown switch keyboards? I've never tried red switches, but afaik it's about the same as black switches but lighter, is that correct?

Double tapping should be fine on brown switches, and yes red switches are the same as blacks just that it's lighter. The actuation force for reds and browns is the same.

The dbl tap issue is less pronounced in the browns than it is in blues because the release point is slightly closer to the actuation point.

I've had one with blue switches since last September. It's an incredibly solid keyboard. It's noticeably better quality than my old Steelseries 6GV2. For how cheap it costs, it doesn't feel cheap at all, the keycaps are fine, no squeaky switches or anything like that either. I haven't had a single issue with mine and would happily recommend it.

Hey guys,
I am looking to buy entry-level mech keyboard in Canada and I was wondering if Razer Blackwindow was good enough? I heard 6gv2 was better in quality but I dont like the idea of black switch as they require more force than typical keyboard. Is there any other lower priced alternate keyboards? I'll probably switch to better mech keyboard if I like it , However right now I just want to test it out

Ducky, Rosewill, Leopold would probably be better brands to look into.

Im saving up money for a mechanical keyboard atm, and I've looked up different keyboards and these are the ones I like (I like non-gamer keyboards, I rather have no LED's or macro keys since I wont use them anyways):

- Ducky DK1008BR (80$)
- Ducky DK9008BR (120$)
- Rosewill RK-9000BR (90$)
- Leopold FC200 OTaku Browns (100$)

The duckie DK1008 is at moment of speaking on top of the list, since it is tenkeyless and its rather cheap. I dont know the differences between the Ducky 1008 compared to all the other keyboards in general, could anybody help me out

Can you get a CM quickfire rapid where you are? Because that should be about the same price as the Ducky and better quality, tenkeyless as well.
The Ducky 1008 is ok so if its too hard to get a CM then you should be fine with that.

I dont really like the looks of the CM Quickfire, and its not cheaper to order it from a local store here (and I'll have the wrong layout Im used to)
