I have no idea where to buy one over there, but you're looking for something like this. Should fit for rosewill just fine.

Well I got my leopold in reds today, I figure ill get new keycaps once these start to wear down. Im completely amazed at how easy it is to sustain high APM compared to my Cherry Blue keyboard. I played a couple games today just too see how long I could keep up my sustained macro spamming and I found it was an easily 50+apm jump from what I usually do. I absolutely love these keys for gaming compared to my blues. This was also the first time I hit over 130 EAPM as terran.. I am in love with this keyboard.

I would definelty recommend a red or brown switch keyboard over a blue for starcraft or another RTS just because of how much easier it is to sustain a high speed of play.

I 'd just fold a plush shirt up until i get roughly the right height. 55 euros for a wrist rest that's more then most keyboards cost. Unless it's a work thing and you want to look posh.

I have one. It's really nice to use for typing. Unfortunately, I can't actually compare it to other keyboards - it's my first mechanical keyboard.
The only problem I have is that the letters on the keys I use most are beginning to fade. Luckily I think I remember where to click to build workers by now.

I just bought a ducky shine with mx browns. I was trying to buy new keycaps. The keycaps I can find aren't the ones I'm looking for though. Shines are LED (mine are blue!) and I was looking for quality colored keycaps with the LED etching on the letters so the light comes through. Can anyone help me?~

For those who are interested in an amazing mx red board, the quickfire red version is in stock for the US:

I personally have this board and it has amazing quality just like my filco.

The keycaps or the switch? The switch is another beast but just take two loops of floss and pull straight up on the keycap to pop it off.

Hopefully you let it dry out before messing with it more.

I also own the Zowie Celeritas with brown switches. The keyboard itself differentiates from other keyboards, mechanical or not, by having nylon keycaps. The only bad thing I can point out about the Zowie Celeritas is that the space bar is supported by two cherry mx black switches. As a result, when pressing the space bar, it feels really 'mushy'.

Many boards use switch variability. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but some don't like it. Just another preference factor.

i remember that bw progamers need new keyboard every 2 or so months, since they just practice old one to destruction (specially when you have 400 apm). Thats why they use like 10 dollar keyboards (atleast used to).

So my questoin is why shoudl anyone buy good keyboard, or is that fact wrong?

It may be correct that they could wear out a cheap rubber dome keyboard in a couple of months, but I think a good mech would hold up a lot better.

Mechanical switches such as the Cherry brand are insured up to 50 million keystrokes, where as rubber domes lose thier rigidity and spring rather quickly for progamers.

Which out of these 2 mechanical keyboards would be considered the "superior" for gaming, SteelSeries 6Gv2, or Razer Black Widow?
