I guess that goes to show how subjective it all is.  :)  I have both, but with different switches (reds in the QFR, ergo-clears in the Filco).  So, I can't say anything about any subtle differences there may be.  They both are hefty and feel solid.  I find MX blues to feel cheesy and cheap, but that's just me.

Ok... uh... being the previous owner of FOUR Ducky Shine 9087's with ALL CHERRY MX FLAVORS and currently owning 2x CM QFR w/ Reds/Browns, 1x CM QF TK w/ Reds and 2x Noppoo Choc Mini's w/ Reds/Browns (new version) I can assure you 100% that the QFR's take the crown with ease in regards to quality. The deal breaker really is how sturdy the keys feel when you type on them and this might be limited to some people but the costar stablizers on the bigger shift, enter, backspace, space bar etc are far superior to the Cherry switches on the Ducky's. Don't get me wrong besides those keys having that, "squishy feeling" there's really nothing else to complain about with the Ducky's. If you absolutely need backlighting, buy a Ducky. Now. Maybe a Deck if you're into abstract things. Or the CM QF TK if you want a more gaming oriented TKL KB. The CM QF TK and Noppoo Choc Mini's are probably somewhere in the middle of costar and cherry squishiness. But I will say overall I think the Choc Mini's are the lowest quality out of all the keyboards that I currently own. They aren't bad by any means but Noppoo definitely used cheaper materials to make their keyboards (Choc Mini's have the best layout for gamers IMO. Give them the quality of a costar and I will be a life long customer.) This is why I've spent so much money on keyboards, trying them out at home and seeing which ones I like. In the end it's all personal preference regardless of all the great information/reviews/advice on this website. And TBH I will spend quite a bit more money for a quality product that feels like the company actually gives a crap about what they put out as a final product. Good luck.

T_T got the ugly version

How are you liking the MX Black version?  Mine is coming in tomorrow, but then I can't open it for two weeks.  Infernal Christmas...  I'm planning on using it on the go and for gaming.

I was gonna say... On my DKS2 if I push down the spacebar enough on one side, it is tilted toward that direction until I eyeball it to evenness. So just the stabilizers used in the QFR alone are superior to the Cherry ones in the Ducky boards. I still use my Ducky at home when I wanna type on reds. Don't get me wrong.... they're both "quality" boards. To say the QFR is the lesser in quality though is kind of silly.

... powder coated key caps) so how do you logically believe the QFR feels cheaper??...

Could someone please elaborate on these powder coated key caps???

This sounds very interesting!

Sadly, I just returned a Ducky Shine keyboard because I didn't like the mushy feeling of the cherry stabilizers compared to the co-stars on the CMstorm.

@Dante

Could u please explain this mushiness of which you speak?

Is the spacebar harder to depress than the other keys?

Does the spacebar take longer to spring back into position after you release it?

Thanx

Based on the quantities I expect KB manufacturers to buy, Costar stabs are cheaper by way of having fewer parts and less material in them, both the metal and the plastic.

TC:  Cherry stabilizers have a built-in bottom out shock absorber.  There's a thread about removing this to make them feel more like Costar stabs which do not exhibit this trait.

Based on your description I am now in love with Cherry Stabilizers!  :-*

Can Cherry stabilized keys be used with O-Rings?  EK Landfng Pads?

Fascinating.

I want crash protection on my shift keys since I always bottom them out.  I guess I hafta throw all my Rosewills in the trash now and start over from scratch.

I got one of these and I'm having an odd problem. It came with a squeaky backspace key which I gently pulled off with the provided key puller to check if anything was rubbing, but it looked fine. However, I put the key back on and now my backspace, F9, F10, F11, and F12 keys don't work at all. Even pulling the backspace back off and pressing directly on the switch does nothing. Could I really have done so much damage just pulling the key off?

Possibly.  Those keys are all adjacent, perhaps a PCB fault was triggered, maybe a loose trace or similar.  That could explain why a bunch of keys in the same area have stopped working.

Try repluggnig the cable first, in case something weird is happening.  Also try rebooting (you'd be surprised how many odd problems this solves) and try the keyboard on a different computer if you can.

If all else fails and it is under warranty, maybe see about replacing it.

No luck trying on another computer or standard trouble shooting steps. I can't say I've ever seen a piece of hardware flame out so suddenly with such little cause. I like this keyboard so hopefully any replacement won't be as fragile.

Send it back for replacement!  Definitely sounds like something funky going on.

It's certainly not a common problem.  There might have been a slight manufacturing defect, like a bad joint or a flaky trace, and removing/replacing a keycap might have moved the switch just enough to trigger the problem.

So my buggy ALT-key QFR up and died on me on Friday. I saw "no keyboard detected" at bootup and when Windows loaded, the keyboard did not respond nor light up when toggle keys were pressed. Tried USB cables, different ports, computers, PS/2 adapters; it will shortly flash up when connected, but that's probably just the electrical circuit response to plugging it in.

It was not meant to be, I guess. *sadface*

My QFR (now having alt-issues) Also won't work on one of my computers. Also my brand new (and awesome) QFR in greens doesn't work on it either.  Is it recognized in device manager(windows) (or lsusb in linux) or system profiler (OSX 10.6 or earlier. Forgot what they changed the name to in lion)

I say send it in for warranty (if it still has one: If not, take it apart and post pictures!).

My QFR is one of the first: I got it over a year ago. I am sure they have fixed the issue since then.

Since I've taken it apart a few times, and it was purchased from PChome (Taiwan), and the keycaps have been sold, I'm sure it's not under warranty anymore. That's okay, I still use the keyboard, and I still like it. I'm interested to know what causes it so I can repair mine. I'll check the PCB first.

To those having issues with left Alt, I really am not sure whats going on. I went and picked up 3 boards from RMA today that had the reported "left Alt" issue, and I all of them worked on my work laptop (Windows 7 64)

All red switch

Not sure what to say to be honest. Could be cord issues *Kinked* or somehow a controller/driver conflict

Has that problem been reported as a cable issue? hard to imagine a single switch failing because of a cord.

#'s with that same problem are disturbingly high.

No it is not a cord issue.

The numbers seem high only because it affected one shipment batch (1/10 boards in one shipment we received), so its not necessarily high overall, just very concentrated during a short run.

We will be happy to replace it and I do apologize for any inconvenience..

Costar has identified the issue, apologized a million times and we changed a few SOPs for QC. Rest assured this will not happen again.

Found it!  It was this post I was thinking of, but the one dorkvader found is relevant too.

So it really does sound like a one-off problem that has been identified and resolved, and hopefully the erroneous batch has been completely recalled.  If not, sounds like CM is more than happy to swap them over.

Just got mine for Christmas (with Cherry MX Black.)  I have branding on mine.  I don't care though, it isn't very intrusive due to the color scheme.

Nice Christmas gift :)

True.  Really, apart from the keycaps, the branding is not much worse than other keyboards that have a badge or similar above the numpad (where applicable).

I just got an unbranded QFR w/ Reds a few days ago and I have no left-ALT issues as of yet. Hopefully it doesn't crap out anytime soon.

The left Alt issue affected one batch or so of keyboards, and the cause has already been identified and corrected.

I don't think what I am about to say is worth making a thread over so I'm just going to say it here.

I have been using a Filco Majestouch Tactilce (Cherry MX Blue) gen 1 for more than two years.

I was at a local computer store during boxing day and scored a CM QuikFire Rapid (Cherry MX Blue) for 40$. I payed my filco 4 times that amount without shipping for my Filco.

The CM keyboard came with extra caps and cap puller. The case has a nice rubberised finished and the caps are much thicker, stronger and nicer sounding when bottoming out. The caps also have a much nicer finish than my Filco.

The caps my Filco came with are utter ****.

The detachable cable on my CM board is awesome and the board has channels for routing the cable under it. Love it.

Ya so its a little flashy looking but for the money, nothing beats this. Well Done Cooler Master.

Very nice price - makes you wonder how CM can sell such a great keyboard for so little cost (says another happy QFR owner, although mine was a tad more expensive, not surprising for Australia).

The Red Switch version of the keyboard is unbranded. The logo on the top side of the board though has a red logo instead of the grey logo on the blue and brown versions of the keyboard.

I bought mine, a CM QuickFire Rapid ISO Layout (Spanish) on January 7, 2013 and it too came without any of that cheesy labeling. Not in the soft-touch are, not even on the removable Windows keycaps.
This is one truly nice, ELEGANT and affordable high-quality mechanical keyboard. Probably the best bang for the buck out there that doesn't skimps on inherent quality features. This thing weights exactly 3.7 lbs out of the box and its a 10-keyless design.
