"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I.e. without the usually horrendous shipping charges from US?

I think it's just the QFR that's getting greens.  I was hoping these posts would be like the ones in the TK threads with links, but no. Oh well.

Got it up guys, very limited qty. Image is still stock, we are working on getting the new one up.

Just line a brandless red version but with a black backplate instead of red.

Wait, limited? That sucks, because I really want one but I just bought a QFR with reds and can't justify getting yet another keyboard already.

Going to cross my fingers and hope greens follow reds and become easily available around the same time I can justify getting another board.

in summary: THANK YOU CM STORM FOR MAKING A DAMN BOARD WITH GREENS, THE BEST SWITCH

no seriously, thanks much for your participation in the community and all your manufacturing, marketing and customer service efforts. you've done the mechanical keyboard scene a bigun and we thank you from the bottom of our wallets; no matter how many logos you put on your products. it's all good broskis.

I can't decide if I want to get a Trigger or QFR. I already have a Trigger, but I want the switches, and a Trigger has more for that "just in case".

I guess my question was pretty stupid. I'll have to give them more of a shot than the five minutes of typing on blues that I tried. I brought an MX 11900 to work to get used to blacks again, which was the first switch I fell in love with before trying browns, then reds, then clears, then ergo clears (now my favorite)

What is the spring like in a white or "milk" switch? Supposedly they have a little longer plastic on I think the slider part of the stem than blues or greens, and that is why they are a little more quiet.

According to the deskthority wiki, they have the same activation force. I'll be comparing mine when the QFR with Greens gets here.
