Rosewill is actually Newegg rebranding of some other company's product. These keyboards are not wireless.
FWIW, Rosewill/Newegg has had considerable issues with the mini USB port on the keyboard where the cable plugs in. See Newegg customer reviews of the various 9000/9100 series mobos where people have owned them for 6+ months. In addition the cable itself is of a poor design in that it is a very stiff cable that is totally inappropriate for a keyborad or other external PC device. It appears that whomever designed it had no clue what they were doing. It's inappropriate to use a mini USB socket and a rigid connection cable on a full size keyboard, so it's unclear what they were thinking?
The keyboards themselves having Cherry MX keys are pleasing for most people. Durability and reliability remains to be determined. Choosing the right key type for your use and comfort level takes a little research into Cherry MX key types, which I'd recommend before purchasing any mechanical keyboard. Unless you need the features of the 9100/9200 series the 9000 series is the same keyboard without the add-ons.
