TKL is soo much better. Its much more comfortable having your hands closer together. Before I got my TKL I had to use my keyboard on an angle in order to keep my hands close enough together.

I love small keyboards, I am a little weird though, apparently I am dum for wanting a 40% keyboard

What's the reason behind chosing the Rosewill Rk-9100 or CM Quickfire TK? 

 

Does it need to be TKL? What are your requirements?

I  have a Quickfire TK with Cherry MX Red switches, and I'm very happy with it. I'd say go for it.

Is there such a thing as a 40%? I've heard of 60% (and have one on it's way to me), but I've never heard of a 40%.

I personally own a Ducky Shine 2 with MX blues. I'd say get this, but there's newer versions of it available. Anything from Ducky is top notch though.

Unavailable and overpriced peasant.

They're releasing at the same price as the current K70 and K95 did. How is that overpriced when they are far superior?

LEDs are gimmicky and are more expensive than the original K-line of mechanical keyboards, and they aren't superior to Ducky, CM Storm or WASDKeyboards. They just bought the "exclusive rights for MX rgb".

RGB is a hell of a bragging right though.

Yea that's what I thought when I first heard about them. Tenkeyless would be nice and I certainly don't see a need for 18 macro keys.
