Title: What Cooler Master keyboard is this?
Post by: ranunky on Tue, 23 October 2012, 07:27:19: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0087DJUFS

The title says pro, the description says rapid black/brown/blue and the product code is for the rapid red - three totally separate products. I just bought it because I want a UK red.

Maybe they have the wrong picture, it says it's the quickfire rapid in the description. And the title and product code are both for the rapid.

Post by: newtrekemotion on Tue, 23 October 2012, 07:41:20: Yep I was too quick (edit: pun not intended). The picture is the pro, but the spec's are exactly the QFR. The listed weight is for the QFR. So I guess it becomes a question of which do you trust more the picture or the description? Either way, my experience with Amazon has always been good (when buying from them not a 3rd party) and you could probably return it based on it not matching either one..

Aye, that's my plan ;-).

Post by: vun on Tue, 23 October 2012, 07:50:36: The title says "Pro Fire Rapid", last time I checked they were called quickfire pro and quickfire rapid.
Huh...

The listing is all sorts of messed up.

Yep. That's the confusion. The "Pro" is a full keyboard, while the "Rapid" is a tenkeyless product.

Post by: ih8 on Tue, 23 October 2012, 19:59:33: also I wouldn't recommend the pro to anyone

Post by: ranunky on Fri, 26 October 2012, 05:54:56: It is a quickfire pro with red switches. The last thing I wanted.

:( So picture wins out over description. Hopefully the return process goes well!
