    For those looking for a excuse to get a mechanical keyboard I have one for you :D

    $64.00 shipped w/ a cheap webcam.

    The real kicker here is that you get to pick MX Red, MX Blue, or MX Black switches its not just one or the other. MX Reds especially are quite rare to find outside of importing.

    Newegg

    Black - Newegg.com - Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard RK-9000BL with Cherry MX Black Switch

    Blue - Newegg.com - Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard RK-9000 with Cherry MX Blue Switch

    Red - Newegg.com - Rosewill Mechanical Keyboard RK-9000RE with Cherry MX Red Switch

    Note: They have MX Brown too but price is higher for some reason.

    Apply Promo Code: EMCNDNE226

    The Webcam is added to your cart automatically and shipping is free.


    Reviews show this is not the premo high end keyboard, but for the price I think its a good deal.

    black, red both silent switches


    browns are nearly silent.

    you will hear noise from the keys bottoming out or springing to return more than anything on all those 3 types. Only the blues really make any noise from the switch itself.

    I've always wanted an MX keyboard. Just afraid to spend any amount of money on a decent one because they tend to get ruined somehow. Last two nice keyboards I had are now trashed mainly due to liquid spills, well and kids grabbing it and smashing it against the counter. :eek:

    The blue does not come with the cheapo webcam. I'm really debating this seeing as I type a lot due to being in school and have really been debating getting one. Is rosewill the newegg brand or are they a "real" company? I usually only see their products on newegg and honestly thats a factor in why I have yet to purchase anything from that brand.

    As far as I can tell, Rosewill is a "real" brand, but they sell exclusively through Newegg, so it seems. So it's semi-generic? Idk.

    I'm interested as well, though I already blew this quarter's "dubious computer upgrades" budget on the Intel 330.

    I like feel of browns the best and it is pretty silent.
