Looks really good. I like the dark grey caps with the grey color of the case.

is there a new code out there or one coming up by chance?

Carter do you have any updates about selling the unbranded cases?

laffindude · « **Reply #505 on:** Sun, 21 October 2012, 01:46:59 »

Screw the unbranded case. I want that RED case they showed at ~~computex~~.
edit:sorry remember the show wrong. It was Taipei Game Show.

What I would do for one of those with MX Green switches...

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #509 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 23:28:18 »

Buy MX blue keyboard and install springs from mx black switches.

tjcaustin · « **Reply #510 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 23:37:07 »

Isn't the QFR plate mounted? Sounds like a lot of desoldering to me.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #511 on:** Wed, 24 October 2012, 23:45:00 »

Yup, plate mounted, and yup you gotta desolder all switches. It's an easy mod, just tedious. So it all comes down to how desperate you are for the mx green feel. Carter said he's typing on a mx green board right now, but did not confirm whether they will release in the future or not.

I have a red cased Filco but fullsized. I want a tenkeyless ;o

wwowz · « **Reply #514 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 10:04:47 »

I guess only the online shipped versions are unbranded.
I just got my red switches from a local store but it's branded. Not disappointed tho. Gotta say, it's a beautiful keyboard!

laffindude · « **Reply #515 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 11:33:06 »

They already need to change the packaging because it says 1000hz when it can't do that.

Are the MX Black boards on sale now brandless?

I got one from them back during the first sale and it was the original overbranded casing

I feel like the blacks aren't as popular as other switches and might have been harder to move their backstock? I've found that since I've had it I only use it for games that I'm constantly mashing down buttons (such as FPS)

They are all unbranded but, you have a higher chance of getting an unbranded one on the MX Red board.

I don't think they have unbranded browns yet, and probably not blacks.
blues and reds are probably the only ones that you can currently get unbranded.

Yup, I just messaged Carter today on OCN about brandless stock and here were his responses:

"We have not received any new shipments of brown boards since the switch due to brown switch shortage. The reds on the other hand are almost all non branded, just depends on point of purchase and how old the stock is."
"Blues are also very high probability of non branded. If you order from CM Store its guaranteed, but Amazon and newegg both should be non branded."

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #522 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 23:26:01 »

Well I would still take that with a grain of salt, because last time he said they were "guaranteed unbranded", most people still got them with brands. This raised a little bit of heat. So take that as you will.

Welcome to GH btw.

This keyboard in the Uk MX Red version is almost like a unicorn... I can't find one in stock anywhere.

theintern · « **Reply #524 on:** Sun, 28 October 2012, 16:03:40 »

CM Store made a mistake this week and sent me out a standard ANSI QFR with browns instead of the one I ordered and it's unbranded..

You can get these under 4 lbs pretty easily, so it'd only be $25-$30 for First class international mail.

Here's a pic of mine. Had mine for a few weeks now. So far so good as far as performance.

Which keycaps are these? I really like the different contrast of black from the actually keycaps to the legends. PBT?

Fairly sure last time I checked their online store didn't even ship to Australia. I can buy one here online, but not cheap like CONSUS and that get.

laffindude · « **Reply #536 on:** Sun, 04 November 2012, 03:37:22 »

I was cleaning mine. I never noticed how flexible the case is in front of the spacebar. It flexes ~5mm+ away from the spacebar. Yikes.

trentva · « **Reply #537 on:** Tue, 06 November 2012, 07:43:50 »

you can get the debranded ones on amazon now

lazerpointer · « **Reply #538 on:** Wed, 14 November 2012, 19:27:52 »

After a quick search, I couldn't find them. Only the branded ones are showing up.

ValerieV · « **Reply #539 on:** Wed, 14 November 2012, 19:44:38 »

I just got my Quick Fire today via Amazon and it has the branding.

I am okay with it but i would have preferred to have the non labeling. I think they just have some left in stock and some are lucky and some aren't.

I tried this and mine doesnt seem to move THAT much, can you do it toward the spacebar as well?

~~Blacks, browns, blues, or reds?~~ nm saw your other thread, browns.

Not more than a Filco. Filcos doesn't move significantly either way with as much force as I am willing use.
Rapid's case moves about 2-3mm outward with light finger pressure, where it hits the bottom case. I think this is as much as you flexed yours. Thumb pressure will flex the top and the bottom case outward together.

wetto · « **Reply #544 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 07:59:25 »

I still think it needs more labeling. I'm telling you guys

Yup, that's home-made.

rknize · « **Reply #548 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 15:05:11 »

The QFR (with greens) that I just received has the lighter branding. I actually didn't mind the logo on the top of the case to begin with. It was the key caps that were just too much. The new caps are logo-free and not bad to look at at all, even with the wonky font.

xsphat · « **Reply #549 on:** Thu, 15 November 2012, 17:58:47 »

That looks pretty cool actually. How you liking the greens?
