Rosewill RK-9100 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Rosewill manages to add some good features to an already well-performing keyboard; however, these come at a rather hefty price increase of $40. The new light system is quite fancy, and its gaming mode disabling the Windows keys is a welcome addition....

Mediocre at best

-Easy to clean

Might just be my bad luck, but mine kept outputting ghost keys. Also, the keyboard feels a lot bigger than I had imagined. I have pretty big hands and I'm still overstretching my fingers.

Great Product

For the price and the offering I think this is an excellent producct

Solid Construction All Peripheral ports are working great No hardware issues (6 months usage)

The orange replacement keycaps did not stay onto the switch very well initially, but it fixed itself after some time.

Solid Mechanical Keyboard at a solid price.

I bought this for $80. She loves it. Personally I'm more a fan of brown switches.

Cherry MX switches Solid even back-lighting Nice wrist rest Included keycap puller, and orange WASD and arrow keys.

Rubberized body, attracts dust easier Orange keys do not illuminate as well as the original keys.

Good keyboard, reasonably priced

The price is definitely right on this keyboard. It types fantastically, the keys are super-solid and comfortable (Cherry MX red on my model). I should buy another one of these for work, actually. I think I'll do that now.

- Price - quality in construction - audio extenders built into the keyboard - USB ports - nice back-lighting - braided-fiber USB connector cord to reduce snags/improve durability

- USB 2.0 only
