Time for another comparison test. I am lining up the Rosewill RK9000V2 with Cherry MX blue switches against Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard that I just received. The Rosewill is not bad at all, just compared to the Das Keyboard, it pales in comparison. I wonder if Filco board, which is also made by CoStar ,will be better or about the same. Rosewill shares the same OEM. Very curious now.... Since I knew that Das Keyboard provide a more stable platform, I want to see if the Rosewill is a closer comparison to the Matias Tactile Pro when comparing the switches.
After spending some quality time with Matias tactile switches, I switch back to the Rosewill to do a quick compare and contrast. I just did a quick typing with Rosewill board and I don't feel the wobble. It's just more assuring to get that feeling back. So, it's likely that I will prefer the Cherry MX blue switches over the Matias tactile ones. Yup. I am just more comfortable with the Cherry MX switch designs I suppose. The travel feels fine, it doesn't feel as defined as the Matias'. I do think that the high pitch sound may one day get on my nerve. For now, not yet. So, I will take it. Since I really like the brown switches, that's what might be biasing my preference toward the blue switches when comparing to the Matias one. The Matias is just too jumpy, a bit too eager. I am certain that a lot of people will like this kind of keyboard. The feeling is more whimsical, perky and free. I am the kind that need my feet to the ground, thank you very much! Unfortunately, the Matias is just not my cup of tea. Oh well.... I guess I won't know till I try one, right? That's the entire point of the exercise and experiment. It's a negative result for me, but very informative. Cool!
