Title: CMStorm Quick Fire Rapid (Red)
Post by: Zzz on Wed, 23 November 2011, 23:57:10

****SOLD****


Hi, I bought a CMStorm Quick Fire Rapid with MX Red switches from PCHome a month ago. This is a tenkeyless board with CoStar stabilizers and has NKRO with PS/2.

Includes original box and all accessories.

I'll selling it for $90 locally around Middlesex, MA or $90 + shipping cost

It's been kept in a clean work environment and looks almost new.

Linear isn't for me unfortunately. I'm going to stick with browns.

I would totally jump on it if it were with browns! I love them as well. How did you enjoy the functionality of this board?

I'm actually typing on it right now. I do enjoy how "solid" it feels. But, I realize that it's going to take me longer than I'm willing to spend to get used to not having any tactile response and not having a numpad. I used it at work for three weeks until I realized that I can't live without a numpad; my case numbers are eight digit numeric. >.< You don't realize what you need it for till it's gone. I miss using my mouse hand's thumb to hit the enter key!

Then bought it home where I ran though MW3, BF3, a few games of SC2, and a dozen hours in Skyrim. For gaming (on a bright monitor), it's great! But for typing, I need something tactile. And unfortunately for me, to qualify as a "gaming" keyboard, I need back-lit keys because I play in the dark. I've been using a XArmor U9BL-S (below). That is, I can't have a lamp on because it washes out the colors from the digital projector.

GL HF!

Browns have become my go-to switch for all purposes. Good luck with selling.

I never realized how much I did this as well until I went to a tenkeyless.  I still reach for it on occasion.

^ I used to do this too, but it is mostly because I was used to having the numpad. Typing the numbers without the numpad is just as fast once you get used to it, and tenkeyless is much more comfortable for me.  I also like reds more then browns now, I kind of bottom out for the feedback >.< but it feels a lot nicer having a nice smooth travel.

This is a good deal. Will be an awesome board once the keycaps are replaced IMO :P

I'm not interested in buying ; aren't these keyboards basically rebadged Filcos?

I remember reading something like that. Costar stabilizers too.

And that Rosewill Reds are rebadged 104 key Filcos.
