Title: QFR Availability?
Post by: awhitedev on Fri, 12 September 2014, 21:08:36

It seems like the CM store has been "Out of Stock" for QFRs for a long time...

I like the diversity in key switches they offer. I'm currently typing on an mx cherry green variety. I'm looking to pick up a quieter keyboard for the office though.

Would love to know when they'd be back in stock... or where I can find something other than red for a quieter QFR.

I tried calling Cooler Master several times the other day and was never able to talk to anyone.

Anyone know what gives?

There's Amazon. Though I wonder if Cooler Master is looking to stop stocking them there what with the release of the Rapid-i, which is essentially a QFR with backlighting. Maybe buy one of those and never turn the backlighting on if you don't like it?

So it sounds like they are not discontinued just low in stock...  Hmmm

Maybe I'm missing the point... but I really don't want a backlit keyboard... and I don't want to pay a premium for a feature I won't use either... even if they did offer a switch type I wanted. I can't be alone here...
