What switch do you guys recommend for a balance between typing and gaming? Cherry MX Red or Brown? Both seemed to be quite on par with one another after looking around.

Depends on yr preferences. Most people will say Typing+Gaming = Brown switch but i tried brown, I'm not satisfied totally. Blue is the best for typing coz i do my typist most, and red is the best after blue no matter what lol. Black like so so feel only...

its ok for you to choose between both of it but risk of having difficulties for modifiers. if me i'll go for RK9100 due to not avid to gaming style kb.

Mind explaining why? You don't fancy the tactile feedback when the key is pressed?
*
Lol, i like tactile feeling that is why die die i blue switch lover. But when you try brown its like a lil or no tactile and then not as good as red . so its like 50:50 which does not make up well for me lol, Just my opinion la. Anyway go try brown switch and let me know your opinion (:

guess you, me, zongeva and cyntrix all have same preference  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

i also liked blue for typing and after trying them (blue, red, brown and black), i felt red would be the only other switch i would buy other than blue.... unless i have chance to test out other exotic switches like clears, grey or green.  sweat.gif

ROSEWILL RK9000 REVIEW OPPORTUNITY
user posted image

We're hoping to gather some senior members in reviewing the RK9000. It's probably nothing new for you folks but many have no idea what exactly and why exactly this keyboard rocks. We are going to start with a campaign for some selected members to review the keyboards. Once the reviews are submitted, you have to pass the keyboard to the next person. At the end of the day, we will do a random pick (using "the hat") and one of the reviewers will be able to keep the keyboard free of charge.

We are considering sending all keyboards in for review - MX RED, MX BLUE, MX BLACK (MX BROWN not available until Late February)

Whoever wants in. Quote and add your name here and we will contact you for more details

Review with your own. Don't be greedy laugh.gif

Can someone please inform me what is the market price for a full set of ABS colored keycap if ordered through taobao, fully landed in Malaysia. this is for high quality keycaps and not those dumped in a plastic bag

If you don't mind i register it for other swithes of kb since whole 2-3 housemates is using blue cherry switch only(typical geek blue switch house, which is not Rosewill except myself). Will get them to review and write up also (: Is it okay with it ?

Woah, what did you do to your keycaps till they need to be washed with soap X.x

I'm sure they will be fine washed since it's plastic. Just make sure it's not keycaps like mine which has a coating around it. RK9100 here.

Do also dry it before putting it back on your keyboard

Hahaha, keyboards are dirty yo! (last time read from which article that keyboard are more dirty than toilet seats). Due to oil and dirty it will turn into sticky .

I've been owning a G15V2 and that's the reason why I'm switching to mechanical.

Both of the D key and Space bar are somewhat stuck as the membranes were torn over excessive usage, so each time when I apply a slight pressure to them, they depress. Really tiresome when I'm typing and noticed a large space between words as my thumb often rests on the Space bar.

So better get a mech kb asap, smile.gif thumbup.gif
