Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by Rosewill.

Having used and reviewed quite a few mechanical keyboards in the last year I have now tried out almost every type of Cherry MX switch out there except the Cherry MX Brown and Clear switches. Thankfully, in this during this review of the Rosewill RK-9000BR I was able to knock yet another switch off my list. The Cherry MX Brown switches used on the Rosewill RK-9000BR provide would be customers with the best of both Cherry MX Black, and Blue switches without the negatives of each. Benchmark Reviews will be evaluating the Rosewill RK-9000BR to see how these switches hold up to daily use and what they are like to use for an extended amount of time when compared to their red, black, and blue counterparts.

Rosewill designed the RK-9000BR for consumers who would like a basic keyboard that provides them with the ability to comfortably type without extra software, flashy exteriors, and extra keys. With exactly those people in mind the RK-9000BR provides a superior typing experience using the Cherry MX Brown switches without any of the extra frills that other keyboards on the market might be burdened with.

As with any other peripheral it is important look at the Corsair Vengeance K90 from a well-rounded standpoint, this means using it in a various situations including gaming (MMO, RTS, FPS), and from a typist standpoint.
