All the new model keyboards coming out soon
« on: Mon, 04 February 2013, 22:56:02 »
Just wondering why all the new models are being released in the coming weeks. It was quiet for over a year but all of a sudden Matias, WASD, Leopold, Filco (rumored) and Poker are all coming out with new, redesigned models. Does anyone know why the month of February and March are going to be seeing an onslaught of new models? Thanks.

P.S. does anyone have any confirmation about Filco coming out with a new design?

Yeah, and its like they are all making money. The question is if they will let CM make all of it? Or, will they lower their price? And/or will they add the features and mods that's we want?

LOL it's true.  And once CM Storm QuickFire XT comes out then it's over.

It's like on budget need a tenkeyless?  QuickFire Rapid.  On a budget need a full size?  QuickFire XT.

Not on a budget?  Everything else.

Even if you're NOT on a budget... QFR is still a GREAT BUY... for any situation...

Fits all popular filco cases...

I got a dud keyboard from Quick Fire and would never do business with them again. They had me jumping thru hoops to return it and i finally gave up and tossed it out. I will gladly pay more money for a keyboard that works.

wow, you just threw away a $65-90 keyboard because you got a defective unit?

Why didn't you just keep pushing on their customer service until you got results?  Carter is kind of the CM Storm rep here and he seems pretty much on point, it surprises me that they'd give a customer the runaround.  Plus, almost any QFR (other than the green switch variety) can be bought from Amazon, and Amazon has just about the best return policy on the planet...

On the other hand there's only like 200 people on this board that would buy it from you, even in dead condition.

Yeah... Anybody wants to throw away a QFR, just send it my way instead... I need a Phantom case... Makes me sad to think there's one just sitting in a dumpster somewhere and here I am scouring the interwebs for an empty case

IIRC WASD v2 in April/March, some configuration options probably later. I don't know anything about the new filco, only that there'll be some new compact design.

f**k filco,  I'd still buy a QFR @ $60, ;D

don't argue about, "if" the new filco will be also be $60, won't happen...


QFR for $60 is the defacto standard of quality vs price..

they released a picture


Looks like crap....  >:D

what's that stupid nonsense on top.... filco dropping the ball by not lowering their ridiculous price when QFR hit, now they're gonna release more silly gamer kids toy looking fugliness..

There are pictures of the TrulyErgonomic... why? Is it made by Diatec, or what?

edit: Diatec appears to sell TE in Japan.
