Rosewill Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, RGB LED Glow Backlit Computer Mechanical Switch Keyboard for PC, Laptop, Mac, Software Customizable - Professional Gaming Blue Mechanical Switch

I just received this keyboard after trying out Das Professional MX Blue Clicky and MX Brown; both I thought were way overpriced and neither had the key feel that I was looking for. I then read numerous reviews on the Rosewill and decided to give it a try at the half the cost of Das Professional with Cherry MX Blue switches. At first I thought the key feel was a bit weird compared to the Das Keyboard. After the several days of use and also with addition of WASD blue rings, I am totally addicted to using this keyboard; I actually been using it both at home and at work (yes actually been carrying it to the office). 4mm blue rings actually quiests the bottoming and also helping me to touch type. The clicky sound it makes and no bottoming out sound makes typing so addictive! So, at the half the price of Das, I ordered another one with MX Brown switches for work. No frills mechanical keyboard that's designed to do just one thing; to type on, what a great idea!! BTW, please do not waste your money on DAS keyboard, this keyboard is the best deal that I can think of if you do a lot of typing and want that just the right amount of key resistance while providing just the right amount of feedback. The keys themselves reminds me of the Olivetti typewriters that were made in East Gemany during the 80's.UPDATE: Just received the Rosewill MX Brown to use at the office. Key feel is similar to the MX Red with very little tactile feel than with MX Blue. However, the keys have less resistance and I can already see that it can be a perfect keyboard with a little dampening rings on the key caps. I actually like this one also, just very well made keyboard without many bells OR whistles. MX Brown keys actually travels further than the MX Blues but it actually have just the right amount of resistance on each key press. Very well made and quality shows throughout. I will honestly say that if you're looking for that right mechanical keyboard without the backlighting and all the frill, then this keyboard won't disappoint.

Another great Rosewill product. It exceeded my expectations. Had never had cherry browns before for daily use. The tactile feel they offer for actuation allows very fast and accurate typing, which I do for 10 hours a day for technical/coding work.It also feels great in gaming, the tactile actuation of the brown switches allows precision that you just cannot get with average membrane or even cherry reds.The board is really solid, and pretty heavy - which I like a lot. Might be the heaviest board I have ever had. Has an expensive and durable feel. The thick threaded cable is a nice have, and for me, my machine is on the left, so no issue there. However I do not expect it would be an issue for me personally even if my machine was on the right. Cable is long enough to manipulate.The board has a really understated and professional look. Matte black with white lettering, Rosewell logo is blacked out, slightest red outline under the key caps. It is really a beautiful board in its subtlety. Matches a more professional workstation if that's your thing. (Instead of RGB, for example)The brown keys sound great too, if you are experienced with cherry browns, then they will be exactly what you'd expect. Nice warm full sound, even when you bottom out. The "ping" on this board is minimal. I have heard loud ping on other brown and red boards in the past. The Rosewill is pretty quiet in this regard!The function keys for media play are convenient as well, and I find I am using them regularly. Volume, pausing audio, etc. Disabling the Windows key is nice too, as I sometimes assign macros to that key for work. Or, in certain games, I hit it by mistake. It's nice to be able to toggle the key's Windows use.LED lights on the board are a bright blue. Angle is pretty good with the back feet opened. I personally prefer a high angle, and these do a solid job. Also for those people like me who may accidentally snap the little feet off - OR, find one foot retracted periodically - this will not happen here. These feet are very tight on their track. You can feel resistance as you move them, which is a great feature.***Anyway, I absolutely recommend this board to anyone wanting a better typing experience generally, or gamer wanting more accuracy. But I specifically suggest it for any pro typist, coder, or related field. It really performs in that regard and makes hours of typing so much more fun and pleasant, where precision is critical.***

As someone who was looking for an inexpensive mechanical keyboard, this was a great purchase. I was ready to get into using mechanical keyboards, but the well over $100 price tags on most was pretty unappealing. It's hard to spend that much money on something when you're unfamiliar with the product.I picked this Rosewill one to use at work, where I do the vast majority of my typing. The cherry MX brown switches are quiet and no louder than the stock HP rubber dome keyboards that we have. I did install red o-rings on the keycaps to quiet the clack from the keycap bottoming out. This made a HUGE difference in typing noise. I'd say this is a must if you are concerned with keeping noise down in an office environment.The blue LEDs can be bright, but only if your eyes are directly over them. I don't work in darkness nor do I sit hunched over my keyboard so the lights have not bothered me at all. If it's that bothersome, put a piece or two of clear tape over them to diffuse the light.In my opinion, the reasons that this keyboard is sub $100 is due to brandname, manufacturing location, and keycaps. The letters are painted on and you can definitely feel them under your fingers as you type. This doesn't bother me much and I don't find it annoying. I've had other brand new keyboards that were like this and the paint quickly wears down to where you no longer notice it.The cloth covered USB and PS2 cables are really neat but a bit stiff. Not a problem but know you may have to weight them down to get them to sit flat. I put a legal pad on top of mine over the weekend. It's just fine now.I've been using this keyboard at work for three days now and I must say it is a joy to type on. It's true, you will never want to go back to rubber dome keyboards ever again.

Got this keyboard for home office set-up - I like the Cherry MX Brown switches - it has a nice click feel and sound. The red back plate is subtle but makes it look cool. The keyboard is heavy and does not move around (well built, Made in Taiwan).It would be even nice if it was backlit, but not necessary if always typing without looking at the keyboard. One thing is that the keys do eventually fade (if that bothers you) since they are laser-etched. The good thing is that the key caps can be replaced with other ones (i.e. PBT ones).Overall, I have been using the keyboard for 3 months and really like it - I feel I can type a lot faster and when using Excel, the arrow keys move very quickly and responsive.

As the title suggests, I wasn't expecting much when I bought this keyboard. I'm coming from a Corsair K70 with MX Speeds (Silvers), and to be totally honest, the quality of this keyboard feels greater than my $250 K70. The stabilizers on this board (the parts used to stabilize longer keys, like the space bar) aren't wobbly at all. They have no rattle, whereas my K70 has MASSIVE amounts of rattle. The sound is actually quite satisfying. I can't comment much on the feel of the MX Browns, as I've only ever used MX Speeds, which are completely different. Haven't had a chance to explore the software associated with this thing, but I can't imagine it'll let me down. Already, I know it will serve its purpose well.As a keyboard enthusiast, I'm impressed with the value of this board. It's solid, has some weight to it, and the RGB is high quality. I paid $100 CAD. If you're looking for a budget board, this is it.

Es el primer teclado mecánico que uso y compro, los switches Brown me parecieron excelentes, son más suaves que un switch de membrana y se sienten super bien al teclear y jugar, mi teclado anterior de membrana un Logitech K120 tenía ya teclas que se trababan, aquí con el Brown se siente la escritura bastante fluida y puedes notar cuando has accionado una tecla, puede ser bastante silencioso una vez que aprendes la distancia a la que se activa la tecla y no es necesario presionar hasta el fondo para que la registre, el sonido me parece perfecto porque no es tan ruidoso como los azules pero igual sientes cuando has activado una tecla, para ser mi primer teclado mecánico estoy muy contento, sinceramente nunca me llamaron la atención los teclados con retroiluminación ni RGB, buscaba justo lo que este teclado me ofrece, un aspecto sencillo, el sonido y la ventaja de los switches brown y teclas multimedia aunque no son dedicadas son muy útiles, el tamaño es ideal y yo si ocupo diario para trabajar el pad numérico. Con tan solo ocuparlo una hora y después volver a utilizar el de membrana se nota enormemente la diferencia, aunque como tal no es una necesidad un teclado mecánico, la experiencia si es notablemente mejor al usar uno así que si tu presupuesto te lo permite no te vas a arrepentir de utilizar un teclado mecánico y sentir esa sensación de querer seguir escribiendo como yo ahora mismo jajaja. Pensaba que el switch sería un poco más duro o que requeriría mucha más fuerza para activar pero para mi sorpresa es más ligero que un switch de membrana, se siente mejor y solo es cuestión de adaptarse un poco para sentirlo normal. Si que se disfruta mucho usar este teclado y el aspecto minimalista es lo que más me ha gustado porque todo lo gamer con luces y diseños extravagantes realmente no me atraen. Muy satisfecho con la compra y sin duda lo recomendaría y volvería a comprar. Adjunto algunas fotografías.

Although the switches are quite loud they do have a satisfying click to them and make for really responsive typing and gameplay.It’s a nice dark black with a red lining under the keys.

Use this keyboard for work so it's being put through it's paces. It can be hard to find a decent quality keyboard at a good price that isn't covered in lights and just has a plain colour scheme. Quality seems pretty solid and have had no issues so far. Probably one of the better value for money mechanical keyboards (if you like the 'office' aesthetic).
