Does this mean we will see some clear switch keyboards in the future?

This seems really cool.

What should I do?

jdcarpe · « **Reply #2 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 11:39:47 »

Ordered. You know I will try to put a Teensy in this!

Yeah, it would have been killer if they had made it functional and programmable. Then it would actually be useful still as a launcher or macro pad after making the buying decision for full keyboard.

Well that's why we added the $15 coupon, so it's pretty much a wash (only pay for shipping) if you decide to buy a CM Storm keyboard from the store. A very fair value

nubbinator · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:08:07 »

That's pretty awesome. If I didn't already have a Tipro I was planning on turning into a switch try, I'd be all over this.

No offense but normally the prices on keyboards directly from CM aren't that great

nubbinator · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:09:26 »

Every now and then they have some awesome sales. And as long as you can use the coupon with coupon codes, it will be a good deal.

Grendel · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:12:43 »

Ordered ! I have an old Teensy floating around here somewhere that I just found a permanent home for

osi · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:21:00 »

Will put the order in for one of these Friday. Will make a cool desk toy as well.

The page you were looking for appears to have been moved, deleted or does not exist.

Psybin · « **Reply #15 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:31:02 »

heh was looking at this thread much earlier on my phone and added to cart. Then figured meh I'll do this on my computer so I dont have to type all my info out on my phone. Come to computer later and link is broken, sold out, whatever, but its still in my cart on phone and was able to check out

osi · « **Reply #16 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:34:03 »

Glad I had the item already in my cart as the page isn't resolving anymore.

Went ahead and put my order in, not waiting until Friday!!

CM-Rajiv · « **Reply #17 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:50:00 »

Link was down due to traffic - now out of stock for initial quantity. We're looking at getting more units for pre-order and I'll share more info when its available.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 12:58:11 »

Aw, out of stock already

Was going to pre-order one.

Carter · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 13:59:26 »

Hang tight. First batch went crazy fast but we will have plenty to support everyone the first week of December!

Hopefully Santa will put the Topre-MX hybrid switch on these

The European one would just have a black switch easily available, and perhaps with a red and brown switch that is hard to find.

One of these would be cool - it looks like a tiny little keyboard

A shame it is CONUS only.

dustinhxc · « **Reply #27 on:** Wed, 06 November 2013, 20:14:27 »

Dang too late! I had the page open on my computer but it wasn't in my cart so refreshed and out of stock

I'm browsing this forum before work, after lunch, during breaks, after dinner and before I go to bed.

This is not fair

Is there still a coupon for the units available on December 1st? Where?

As I mentioned elsewhere, it would be awesome to have a functional numeric keypad which was also a key sampler.

tuxsavvy · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 29 November 2013, 12:44:46 »

I was about to say, what a shame it is only available for NA until there was a link to the EU store. I wonder now would there be a chance that it would appear around SE Asia region?

I seriously would hate to order it from expensive ebay for instance where in US or EU they have the upper handed advantage and then they can pawn the prices off as high as they wish for just a key switch tester.

Nonetheless, I am somewhat glad to see that there is such a thing considering how most people either end up reworking keyboards, swapping key switches and/or buying keyboards with other Cherry MX switches in a bid to find a nice and suitable Cherry MX switch for their personal preferences.

Id say they still have 6 more days. But I am kind of annoyed too. Ive been refreshing the page all day. lol. Last time sold out in about an hour. I think I am going to have to write a program to watch the site and buy it for me when it becomes available.

Hyde · « **Reply #42 on:** Mon, 02 December 2013, 12:14:42 »

lol sold out in an hour eh? CM Storm need to make that thing part of their regular mass produced items.

I guess I'll have to camp the site starting now too. >___>

Carter · « **Reply #43 on:** Mon, 02 December 2013, 12:46:19 »

We have them hitting our warehouse @ 7am tomorrow morning. We will have the item available again at that time.

Lu_e · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 03 December 2013, 13:27:33 »

you were supposed to pre order and they would send it today when they got their stock. So they probably sold their stock through preorders
