Are there any mechanical keyboards looking like this but with palm rest?

Bought my first gaming PC about 9 months ago, and at the time I first found out about mechanical keyboards. Wanting the full experience of having a nice PC, and the fact that the only keyboard I had was absolute shit, I bit the bullet and sprang for a Rosewill RK-9000v2. The $100 price tag (just checked Amazon, they’re down to 80-90 depending on options) was a hard pill for me to swallow after just shelling out over a grand for the PC itself, but man let me tell you, it was worth every. red. cent. It makes SUCH a huge difference in the way it feels (and performs). Mechanical keyboards with the Cherry Mx Red switches are very popular, but I opted for the Black switches, which are silent like the Reds but have 33% more resistance (that is, force needed to actuate the key). I think I would be happy with either.

A quick chart of the differences of switch options can be found here. (When it says stiff, I really wouldn’t describe them as “stiff” at all. Just not quite as light and sensitive as the “light” ones.)

I would recommend a mech to anybody. They’re considerably more expensive than non-mechs for sure, but I can honestly say that it’s money well-spent. On the other hand, my $25 mouse is awesome. Feels great and does everything I need it to.

EDIT: Here’s a link to the keyboard on Amazon, if you’re interested in taking a look. You can select which option of switches you want (black, red, blue, brown, etc.–they all function differently)

Huh, seems like the Rosewill RK9000v2 does come with MX Blacks.

There really aren’t too many keyboards with Gaterons out there, and you missed out on the sale for the Glorious Modular Mechanical Keyboard at $75 a couple days ago. Now it’s $99 and a pack of Gateron Blacks will bring up the price to $130.
