Nice. Is there an ETA for this thing?

I think it should've been arrived by now but according to the CM rep he said that since it's a global shipment, so anything can happen and there is currently no ETA.

So basically be patient and hopefully we'll see it soon

Shame they couldn't implement micro or full size usb connectors on the TKL.

And no MX Black switches? I know they may be the least popular (It's usually the last switch available for Filco's on Amazon) but would it kill them to run small batches?

Anybody know what color the back plating will be for blue, black, green switches be? I'm pretty sure they'll stick with red back plates for red switches on the XT and the stealth but not confident about the other switches.

Argh haven't heard anything about this keyboard for a while. I'm guessing it's only going to be released in the US during the initial release?

I'm also wondering whether the stealth is going to have the customary slightly higher foot print keyboard than most.

For those that didn't realise, there's a thread in the vendor section about the Stealth: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40199.0

the plates will be painted to match the color of the switches.

does the stealth not have backlighting?

I believe the Stealth only has the three lock keys with LEDs, the others are non-LED. The CM QuickFire Rapid XT is the one that has back-lighting.

Stealth is now available on CM Store in Green & Brown switch.

We will be getting blues & reds in shortly. Amazon and NE have been shipped stock but will take a week or so to be live.

Carter do you have any etas on the xt? I am looking to buy a keyboard and I think the xt might be the one...

Got the green stealth and the back plating is black. I don't know why the CM reps have been saying otherwise...

+1 on this.

I also have a friend that's shopping for full size mechanical keyboard and I was suggesting this to him but we need to figure out how long we need to wait.

I would totally buy a fullsize with green switches!

I'm selling my CM Storm Trigger with MX Greens, if you're interested in full-size keyboards.

$100 is a little bit too high for me... I have a QF TK blue right now (just got it couple days ago), would you like to trade(I'll add money if need be)?

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #117 on:** Sun, 05 May 2013, 23:48:25 »

Holy cow.. The XT is actually the best looking fullsize I've seen IMO (minus the legends but doesn't matter because I'd put PBT or DS). It's so simple and clean while maintaining that Costar build. Price range? If this is below $100... man.

tp4tissue · « **Reply #118 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 00:14:04 »

LOL... what's up with carter and that vneck... is that what all the kids are wearing?

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #119 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 16:41:02 »

So I got to see the XT in person today and feel them with Green switches. Felt good and looked nice but didn't feel as nice as the Ducky DK9008G2 Limited Edition w/ Greens. However, for the price, it's a pretty damn awesome keyboard.

Friend got one through a forum. I took some pictures on my phone but I'd rather not post just yet

I might take better pictures with my camera when he brings it over. It's pretty nice, and looks just like in the pictures. It had the standard rubber coating all QFR's have and only had one branding on the back. Full-size keyboard with regular-sized USB connector (I would've preferred the standard reinforced micro USB on the bottom) but still a nice change. Ninja ABS keycaps with F9 being the only windowed keycap for Winlock. Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock LED's are on the top right corner with grey font lettering, which is small. CM did an awesome job on this one

If only the spacebar felt as crisp as it did on the Ducky DK9008G2 Pro Limited Edition

Well hopefully CM is improving and hopefully the price won't be too high.

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #123 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 17:48:12 »

Well I think it's supposed to be 100 so that's not bad at all!

The Ducky DK9008 G2 Pro is coming out in mid June (as I was informed), and has thick PBT and green switches, what do you guys think of it compare to XT?

~~FYI the dk9008 g2 pro will have a white switch model also!~~

VesperSAINT · « **Reply #126 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 19:33:25 »

Well the G2 pro has been out for awhile now(I had the g2 pro limited edition with greens and pbt). They are just now planning to sell some with thick pbts.

If you don't mind spending an extra 20 dollars or so for better components and parts, I definitley would. Double sided PCB, thick PBT keycaps, dip switches that allows USB NKRO. That's worth more than 20 dollars, if you ask me.
