Title: Quickfire Rapid Carrying Case
Post by: Roguemaster8 on Wed, 29 February 2012, 14:36:15
It looks like the CM Store has a new product out.
http://cmstore.coolermaster-usa.com/product_info.php?cPath=36_49_42&products_id=772

It's 39.99, about $10 cheaper then the Leopold tenkeyless carrying case off Elitekeyboards.

Oh god...

I love my cm storm and because of it the price to quality ratio I can stand the branding. But that bag is just awful!

But how will people know you're a gamer if it doesn't have branding???

What did you expect from the people that bought you 5 logo/branding on a single keyboard if that thing was full size I'm sure they would have been able to fit in another 3 logo/branding

Funny thing is, I personally spoke to the CM storm Rep when the mx reds first came out. They PM'd me personally to ask for feedback, which I felt was in line with the feedback for most GHers. With every new release of their products they seem to completely ingore everything we've said LOL.

Anyone able to get a pic of it? The CM website is down for maintenance right now.

Yeah, username "battlesheep". He's posted around a few times stating that he works for CM, not sure how legitimate that is but he seems genuinely interested in getting feedback on CM products.

Doesn't seem like hes applied much of it though. Not from what I've seen from their latest offerings anyway.

As far as I can tell, there hasn't been an offering since he was on here. A lot of our suggestions didn't fly past the engineering department, but who knows what'll be implemented in the next version.

I dno, I was pretty disappointed with the CM Quickfire Pro :/. Unless this was already in design before October when he spoke to most of us? I'm not sure.

out of curiosity, what kinds of feedback were people giving him? things like "programmability", "custom *" aren't going to fly, period. neither is "fewer logos". they're trying to push their brand, and they can only ship things that costar can make cheaply.

Well, knowing how long it takes to get a product to market, I am sure they had that one pretty well nailed down before we submitted options to battlesheep on the QF rapid thread. Still I know what you mean: If all they did was make a 104 version of the Rapid, it'd be pretty awesome, but as it is, the QF pro is pretty terrible. (Bigass enter key, offsize modifiers, wonky numpad legends, ugly case ridges, etc.)
