Title: Hello from the Show-Me state
Post by: TSauer09 on Wed, 29 April 2015, 14:17:54

Long time lurker here, recently purchased my first mech board, the Quickfire Rapid-i. Figured I'd join to see what kind of mods I can blow all my money on.

Welcome to Geekhack!

QFRi - a worthy followup to the QFR, or so I've heard.  My QFR just keeps on going :)

What sort of mods were you thinking of?  There's all sorts of things you can do - replace all the keycaps, just the modifiers (although non-matching profiles might prove troublesome), some artisan keycaps, an aluminium case, painting/plastidipping the existing case ...

Welcome to geekhack! There's a wealth of mods you do to your KB that you can easily find on here. What kind of switches did you get?

Thanks for the welcome! I actually sent the QFR-i back due to dead LEDs... already. When I get my refund I plan on purchasing a WASD Code TKL with browns. As far as getting new keycaps, I've got so many ideas in mind, my wallet is going to hurt. I'd like to try and find a grey/real or grey/purple set, something different than the norm.

Welcome. Sucks about your QFRi.

If you want purple, you can test out the new JT Keycaps:

Although, I doubt they'll be "different than the norm" considering the #hype and price for a thick doubleshot set.
