Any news on these being available in Australia? Blues, especially.

You should keep a look out on amazon for them, i'm currently typing on my stealth browns that just got delivered to me from amazon.

I live on the east coast of NSW by the way, delivery was only around $10 and delivery took 9 days from initial dispatch.

I just picked up the quickfire stealth with mx green at Memoryexpress here in Calgary. It  wasn't even listed on their website. Just walked through the keyboard section and snapped up  one of the two they had.

Why don't they just sell the stealth keycaps separately instead of making it a whole new keyboard type?

I don't know if ducky caps would work but they make side printed ones as well. Such as ABS : http://tigerimports.net/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=13387 or PBT http://tigerimports.net/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=13382

I would say its a money thing. They would rather you buy an entire new keyboard instead of parts.

There are some other changes besides the keycaps.  The repeat rate is now adjustable and I think they connect with micro usb now.

They only charge you when it's shipped, and you can cancel if it's taking too long.  From my experience, 1-2 months or whatever is just a placeholder when Amazon doesn't know when they're going to get more, and it's usually just a few days until they're back in stock.

I know this is kind-of off topic but. It's mine >=D

Well, to tell it short. I'm not the one ordering stuff, my Dad's friend does it so on, so on.
So what? What's the point of this non-sense.
Well, since you know, adults (No offense)... I make a sentence in an email "Important, buy the ____ because ________. It's very important". And... Still buys the different one, and that's the problem with amazon. I can find a direct link to a Quickfire Stealth with Cherry reds. If I give a link, it opens the "default" page of it. Quickfire with browns or something. So yeah, shipping already costs A LOT. And I don't want anything wrong...(Again).

If Somebody could give a link directly to QFS With red switches. Please do! I don't use amazon that often ^.^

So.. I ordered the one reds on the 18th, and the shipping date said / still says 1-3 months. Is this all it has said so far, or did I miss the boat on a batch of in-stock ones that will be shipping sooner?  :confused:

That means they don't have any in stock. But will charge you and ship one as soon as they come in.

Whats about the difficult to sell the Quickfire Rapid Stealth in Europe.
I really do want this keyboard since months but with ISO Layout. Are there any hopes that CM will release the Quickfire Rapid Stealth in Europe (with MX-Red)?

I'd personally love to see them get around Filco having the rights or whatever to ninja keycaps in Europe by either shipping it with no keycaps or complete blanks. I'd buy one in MX Reds ISO layout with no keycaps in a heartbeat.
