I'm assuming fullsized keyboard with similar features/build quality to the current quickfire tkl

Hmm, the branding looks like they're trying to be like Filco with more functionality.

so how many logos do they have on it now?

Logo between esc and f1, logo on spacebar, logo above arrow keys, logo below arrow keys on casing, logo above numpad, logo on left windows key, logo on right window key, and logo on top left outside casing.

As far as I see it this is the only thing wrong with the coolermaster mechanical keyboards everything else seems spot on but I don't want a nascar esque keyboard.

You would've thought they would have taken the feedback of the Quickfire users and reduced the amount of logos, that's the number 1 complaint about the board. lol

The Coolermaster Trigger honestly looked more interesting than the QuickFire Pro.

Inb4 somebody calls it a Filco Costar clone.

It's not.

Then what? An iOne Scorpius clone?

I thought my tkl looked like it was related to a Leopold due to the usb routing and windowed keys.  Then the shots of the 700 model came out and I thought for sure it was related. But it has the costar stabilizer on the spacebar doesn't it?  I'm not at home to say and I never took mine apart, yet to look for OEM markings.

I'm very tempted to take my sander, primer, paint and some clear coat finish.  Go to town on my logo ridden tkl and get a custom colour chassis going.

Why must they cover the thing in logos.  Just put one on the front right corner and leave it alone!

The 87 key CM is a Costar very similar to the Filco.  Haven't seen the insides of this 104key to know for certain.

How the top and bottom half of the casing comes together is peculiar. Are there other keyboard with the same style of case?
