Rosewill's RK-9000V2 mechanical keyboard reviewed
 

For years, Rosewill's RK-9000 series has set the template for affordable mechanical keyboards. The lineup offers all the mechanical bliss of Cherry MX switches with none of the frilly extras associated with pricier alternatives.

As much as we like this straightforward approach, the RK-9000 has always been a flawed favorite. Its removable cable sprouts from a Mini USB port that can fail under lateral loads caused by inadvertent snagging. Complaints of busted USB ports can be found in not only online reviews, but also our own forums.

The problem isn't lost on Rosewill. The company has tweaked the cables and beefed up the port for its second-generation RK-9000V2. This RK-redux has a couple of other tricks up its sleeve, too, and I've been typing on one to see what it's like.
