Taking off CM QFR case
« on: Mon, 31 December 2012, 21:59:24 »
Are there any guide to taking apart the CM QFR case? I have been trying to use the search function and couldn't find it. I was thinking to spray paint the case, harvest the switch and get ready for phantom.

Search up taking apart a Filco, same basic idea.  Might even beat you to it.

Litster did a vid...

I'm glad other people are gonna be converting QFR's!  I'll be putting my silver branded with blues under the knife and hopefully converting it to ergo-clears.  Of course I also had to order a backup all-black QFR in greens so I don't have to rush the conversion... yeah, that's how I'm gonna justify it.

The QFR is a good base for modding because it is cheap (leaving more cash for the extras), but also reasonable quality.
"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
