Title: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid TKL top case replacement
Post by: estux on Sat, 16 October 2021, 11:51:48

Hi,

years ago a bought this keyboard and it came with a rubberized top case that hasn't aged well. I don't want to sand it and paint it and I wonder if there is a replacement top that would fit this keyboard, some plastic black top would do the job. Do you know any web where I can buy it? I am in Europe, and the keyboard is a TKL.

Several years ago, CM sold replacement top cases for these boards. It's possible that some of those are still floating around somewhere as old stock?

Yeah I know, but I couldn't find any...

I'm pretty sure that these aluminum cases on Aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32617566709.html) should work, if you want an upgrade. The LED holes just aren't used on the CM boards.

I have at least 3 of these cases, and a Quick Fire Rapid, so I could test to verify this evening.
