How long have you been using your RK9000 keyboards because if it's been less than 12 months you better hope they make it through the year. I definitely would not recommend this particular model and I'm definitely not alone with this issue. There are several reviews on Newegg from verified customers with the exact same problems that I mentioned, so it's hard for me to believe that I received a dud or this was an isolated incident. | ||

Either way, I bought this rk9000 for $65 with red switches to see how they felt as I didn't quite like blues for gaming which is what I do mostly. I'll upgrade soon to a Ducky or Filco. Do you like the reds tho? | ||

The keyboard itself (Rosewill RK9000 with reds) actually felt great while it was functioning. I previously owned a 6Gv2 (black) and Das S Prof Silent (brown) and ended up keeping the Rosewill RK9000. Both the 6Gv2 and Das were great to type on, but the Rosewill actually felt slightly better while gaming (mainly during keyboard heavy games like SC). I found the tactile bump of the browns to be kind of a nuisance when spamming the keyboard in RTS games, although this is very minor and in no way a deal breaker. In terms of pure typing experience, the black keys were a bit too resistant for me with the browns and reds both feeling fine (maybe the browns felt slightly better in regular typing, but it's minimal). | ||

I'm loving the reds, and since I usually bottom out when typing, i hear the lovely clack against the plate. | ||

I've decided on getting Cherry MX Brown switches, just from all I've read, I feel they'll be best for me, as I do a lot of typing when Im gaming (I play MMOs :X) as well as having that good gaming feel for other games like SC2 and DoTA, kinda like getting the best of both worlds. so now that Ive decided on the switches, I need to decide on a keyboard: I've come up with 3 candidates, but, Im open to more suggestions. * Filco Majestouch2 Keyboard 104-key Cherry Brown * Leopold FC700R Mechanical Keyboard Graphite (Cherry Brown) * Ducky DK9008 Shine II Mech Keyboard Blue LED (Cherry Brown) What do you guys think? Thanks in advance! I've had the Ducky Shine DK9008S Purple LED with Cherry Browns for a month or so and love it. Had a rubber dome before and it feels good. I did put the O-ring dampeners from WASDkeyboards on it though to quiet it down. | ||

I always completely release the key when I doubletap.. it seems the doubletap issue is for those who release a key halfway. Noise is also not an issue for me, in fact I think it will help me concentrate. I needed a cheap replacement (spilled beer on my old one and some keys now don't work) and wanted a 'starter' mechanical keyboard.. I figure someday I can always get another one (red or brown) and just keep the blues for typing. After some research, it seems many people have no problem using Blues with games, the rare doubletap issue is probably only an issue for those used to mech boards, and don't always release keys all the way. This is just not an issue for me. I found a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid tenkeyless with cherry blues for $65 on Amazon, and am more than happy to finally be making the 'switch'. :D | ||

Other trick is to use a mini right angle dongle as strain relief and is easy to replace if connection goes bad from use. http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/wtwdl/quick_fix_for_those_of_you_worried_about_miniusb/ | ||

Also haven't had an issue with double tapping yet. But I have noticed an issue with junk and hair getting into the spaces between the keys. I can tell there's going to be many a cleaning day ahead. | ||
