just bought rosewill rk9100 cherry blue. not bad

Hey there guys. My friend is interested in buying an entry level mech keyboard for gaming(dota 2 specifically). Any recommendations? Below the RM300 range. There are a few at this range specifically the Blackwidow Tournament and the CM Storm Quikfire TK. Any help? Has never used a mech keyboard before.

Y you bought rk9100?!?!?

I thought they EOLed in Malaysia already...

Rk9000 entry enough.

Better get it while it is still this cheap. Unker Cyntrix said they may increase the price again due to the increase in exchange rate of USD to RM...

try ducky zero, rosewill, and CM. avoid razer.
instead of which brand, you should ask which switch
it's depends on individual, ask ur friend go to the shop to try every switch, see which one he prefers.

Rosewill? I've only heard about their PSU's mostly. How much is it now. I can only purchase them online as I don't reside in KL.

He's going for the cherry blue switch which is why I'm asking for a brand recommendation instead lol.

As I thought. Most people won't recommend Razer. That's what I told him too.

Thanks for the input

gamer who likes blue switch? sounds like me! haha!
but tell him to try out the different switches with his own fingers first...that's the best thing he can do to determine which switch he like...it's just like buying running shoe, u need to wear it with socks and run a bit with it to know if that's the shoe u like best.

how come is eoled? i can see newegg give them 5 stars

Not sure if it EOL'ed or not, but mainly due to the introduction of Rosewill Helios.
And not many people here recommend RK9100 because of the modifiers not being standard...

Trust me bro, you will not enjoy partially shinny keycaps no matter how nice the color combination is

Don't splash cool water la , the LED not bad mah, just that modifier keys are odd sizes.

PBT really that nice?

using browns atm, can sort of feel the keycaps like unlubed door hinge (okay that mighta sound exaggerated)

but yeah you get the idea

Not bad at all

Never look back at ABS after PBT.

abs good for collection je,,,,
but for usage -> still pbt!
thick lagi best

only tried the vortex PBT, wonder's how the thick's feel

But from what I read, POM have smoother surface than PBT generally. I like ABS surface. And I like PBT surface too. The problem is PBT easily get dirty if my hand sweating or wet. But PBT have more "rigidity". They felt durable. Now looking forward to try POM but only available in gray color from Keycool.

Last time when I newly joined this thread, I'd been warned that I will addicted to try all the switch and different material of keycaps. I hate to admit that he's right. Now I'm hooked. Haha...

If I'm not wrong... Rosewill is from newegg. It's like wasdkeyboards giving 5 stars to their own board.

Next time consult here first, tidak tipu you one.

Better you go buy the real thing, or spend a little bit money to buy real thick dyesubs one from sherryton. Sui Sui bo zhao zui

okok, i will look again at his shop 2night
thx for all the advice
