So I'm thinking QFR Stealth as my first mech keyboard, any suggestions?

[Freezzy]

Hello Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, first post in the keyboard forums and all that. Just got my first computer setup Ignoring all the internet/monitor problems cause I'm still a noob at that, let's stop, cause this is a keyboard forum, not a computer one.

I'm planning on getting a keyboard, and my setup will be complete, I have everything else, a good mice, a good mouse pad, a pair of headphones. So, I'm not really on a budget, but I can't let myself a 200$ Keyboard, lol. You could say I decided on a keyboard, which is a QFR Stealth, but it's still a long time away, I could find something else that I like more

Cherry mx Red switches, I don't need any fancy LED's or such, I would like a clean, smooth design (There's where the Stealth version comes in) So if you could give me suggestions or anything, I appreciate it Or just reasons why I should get a QFR Stealth and feel safe, or why I shouldn't.

It all depends on how much you want to spend, that QFR Stealth isn't going to be out for another month or so I think. I assume it's going to be more then the current QFR, you might aswell buy a QFR from amazon and get side printed key caps if that's the style you are looking for, QFR is a good keyboard to start with the build is great and I don't know many people who have problems with them, so I assume the newer ones will be just as well made

I thought I would only have 1 keyboard when i first started reading GH, now it's a sickness

No problems with a QFR - I have one with MX blacks and Filco yellow keycaps - long story) and it's fantastic!

We also have two or three CM reps who lurk around the forums and are always fairly quick to respond to queries and help members.

And if you do have non-keyboard questions, that is that other geeky stuff and off topic is for.

I agree with this, QFR Stealth with MX Red is exactly what I'd buy if I were to get my first keyboard.

I'm only not getting it at this point because I already own a Filco Ninja MX Red

I believe CM reps have said that it will be the same price that the QFR currently retails for ($79.99 for blue, brown, black, $89.99 for reds and I'm not sure what it is for greens).

A bit annoying how they still mark up the reds even though it's not "limited edition" anymore.  Oh well at least QFR is still cheaper and better quality than most boards out there though lol.

I don't like qfr's keycap at all feel super thin compared to my ducky and nonpoo but to each their own I guess.
