Rosewill is expanding its best-selling mechanical keyboard series with the new Limited Edition Elite Ivory RK-9000I and RK-9000BRI.

Rosewill's current lineup of mechanical keyboards features a variety of switches to provide users with the most comfortable and responsive experience possible. The new limited edition RK-9000I continues to provide the same reliability and gaming response, while featuring a new ivory design.

The Limited Edition Elite Ivory mechanical keyboards will be available in two different switch variations which include Cherry MX Blue (RK-9000I) and Cherry Brown (RK-9000BRI). Each switch offers a different type of feedback when a key is pressed. For example, a Cherry MX Blue switch features a 2-stage bump and clicking noise when pressed, whereas a Cherry Brown Switch is quiet, while still offering tactile feedback.

Along with the rest of the series, the Limited Edition Ivory keyboards are equipped with both USB and PS/2 gold plated connectors. Pricing details for the Rosewill RK-9000I and RK-9000BRI have not yet been revealed.

    Honestly, I have trouble justifying if I would want this simply because its Rosewill. I know there cases are excellent, but I don't trust their electrical hardware. The case is pretty much limited to an on/off switch and a 3rd party USB board. Not much to go wrong with. Now would I trust them with a power supply? No way. But a keyboard, that might be getting to the point of simplistic enough that I would trust rosewill to do it well.
    Gold plated connectors is marketing nonsense at this point. Nothing is so dependant on voltage regularity it would need gold plating over other options in a connector. However, gold is softer and more prone to failure from repeated insertion which will happen alot for a connector.

I read a lot of reviews before I got it and it is one of the best PSU's I had. I would agree on there low end PSU's but I do not buy low end from any vender.

    Recent (last few years at least) Rosewill power supplies are excellent. The CAPSTONE is top of the line.

    looks like my current rosewill mech brown but white instead of black. It's a nice keyboard but sometimes I wish I went for the razer blackwidow stealth instead with all of its extra goodies and the like. that is until my 130 dollar razer mouse starts acting up again. But back to topic, the keyboard is most likely the same general keyboard with some new plastic and if it is its nice and simplistic. I have had 0 problems with mine running through my ps2 port. Feels nice and is as quiet of a mech as I have been able to find have been after I did the o-ring mod. It is VERY solid since its backed onto what looks like an 1/8" or thicker steel plate which also gives it good traction and heft. The only downfall I can find with it, is thickness, though it isn't much higher than any other mechanical it can be bothersome the first week if you are used to a thin rubber dome.

    I bought a 30 dollar PCI slot network adapter from them a few years ago and haven't bought anything from them since.
