"Delivery rescheduled due to the holiday / Package will be delivered next business day."

NOOOOOOOOOO :frusty:

I feel you... I have two things arriving tomorrow, but, as far as I know, the holiday didn't impede them, since they are from UPS.

I got mine on Friday. Pretty nice keyboard. Keycaps are utterly terrible though and I'm not a picky person. I swapped out with Cherry PBT and keycaps from a WY60 right away. Even the thin Cherry PBTs quiet the Blues quite a bit.

That looks awesome!!!! I even like the "Quick-Fire" text with those other key caps there.

My CM QuickFire with MX Blues was delivered today (FedEx was open today).

I put it side by side with my Leopold TKL with MX Blues to compare blues to blues. After typing on both the QuickFire with blues and the Leopold with blues, I want to sell my Leopold and buy another QuickFire. The key action is noticeably smoother on the QuickFire. The smoothness and consistency felt more like a Filco.

How old is your Leopold with blues? The wearing on the switch may have to do with the Leopold feeling less smooth.

The only place the Leopold and Quickfire / Filco should feel any different at all is on keys with stabilizers, as they use different types. For the main cluster, zero difference. If your Leopold feels less smooth it's likely due to switch wear as thegunner100 suggested.

Filco. It is very likely that the CMstorm is also costar made. Leopold pretty much just does it's own thing.

My WASD spacebar and the SP ABS one both fit just fine.

Supposedly the brown version will be out in the coming weeks. He didn't mention the black version though. I think that board has the lowest interest out of them all.

I e-mailed CM because I really want a brown version of this board. I have the blue version and the quality is great. I'd say it's on par if not better than my rosewill board.

Anyways these are his exact words regarding the Cherry Brown board in the U.S.:" This will not be available until the end of March."

Well thanks for the info. I don't really understand why they did one switch at a time. It's obviously made since it sells in china.

Cmcarter says it's hard to get them over here. Not sure why.

Looks like it's back on ?

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=67069&vpn=SGK-4000-GKCL1-US&manufacture=Others&promoid=1078

I ordered one... says it's in-stock. The link in the OP goes to the product page with an old promo code it seems. New promo code seems to work @ $65 and free shipping.

I want one!! Could someone purchase it for me and ship it to The Netherlands?? Send me a PM and we can see the details! Guys, I cannot find this keyboard in europe, and I still want to try blues! HEELP

blert · « **Reply #41 on:** Tue, 28 February 2012, 11:14:42 »

Argh. So tempting. I love my Rosewill with Blues, but I really prefer tenkeyless.... Damn you Geekhack! Damn you to hell!

Glockateer · « **Reply #42 on:** Tue, 28 February 2012, 13:31:58 »

Thanks for finding that the deal is going again. : D

Blazestorm · « **Reply #43 on:** Wed, 29 February 2012, 18:51:20 »

Just so everyone knows, this deal ends today, my first board is arriving Friday.

I ordered another set just now to ship to someone in EU. It looks like you only get the $64.99 price if you click the link I posted above.

From what I have read the MSRP of blue,brown and some day black is $79.99. Red is $89.99. So yes hopefully when the others come out.
