Consumer review (newegg.com)

RK 500

There is a video of this product on the internet.

It performs very well, and is a pleasure to type on ; The major complaint that people have about it is the smaller shift key on the left side of the board. Rosewill also added a "/" key to its right. I can see why they don't like it, but I don't mind...

The weird shift key on the left hand side does seem to present a problem when using it. This can be remedied by using the right hand shift key. I am used to using the right hand shift key, so it was no problem

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

\i wrote this review using this keyboard. \if you notice some irregularities in my typing, it's because of the bizarre choice to shorten the left shift button and add a backslash. \i've resquested a refund from the manufacturer.

low profile keys ; responsive tying ; 9mostly\0 good layout

reduced shift key ; unessiarty backslash button ; makes typing difficult

Cheap Keyboard for a Cheap Price

No plastic feet to break off

There is an extra key between the shift and Z making the shift key smaller and harder to use. When trying to copy/past or capitalize in a hurry my text ends up looking like this\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a. Also the painted on key symbols ware very easily. I...

Horrible Shift Key placement

This keyboard is simply unusable for anyone who is used to a standard keyboard. Where the left shift key should be, they put a tiny shift key and a backslash key. No one in my family has been able to use this keyboard successfully, we just can't get...

n/a

They replaced the left shift key with a backslash key
