Title: Stealth Quick Fire Rapid - HomeMade
Post by: KuhnTang on Tue, 22 January 2013, 01:31:23
So I was at my local Frys today and noticed that the QFR (Blues, no labeling) was on sale for $59.  I figured that it's a can't miss at that price.  I joined the Phantom GB and figured I can scrap it for springs to make my ergo clears, or use the case, although I think it won't fit the phantom.  In a worst case I figured I'd just give it to my Brother.  I saw the new pics of the CM QFR Stealth that's coming out, inspired, I through my old Filco caps on there to see how it looks. ... I like it. 
On a side note.  I have a ducky with blues on it and they type COMPLETELY differently.  the "clicky" on my ducky is very evident.  However it is dampened on the QFR.  I like that alot.

the QFR looks like the filco with vortex alu case at a first glance. :D

The phantom should fit in it, just need a little modification! :)

Mine (branded, with MX blacks) was $82.  One of the last in stock apparently, and CPL does not list them any more.

There is a ton at Fry's, the shelf was overflowing with them, but they're all blue switches

Looking good, but why didn't you use the ninja win keys that came with the box.  The dome top printed ones just look out of place.

Otherwise I agree with this  :P

the QFR looks like the filco with vortex alu case at a first glance. :D

yeah, I know, I don't know where I put them, and I was too lazy to look for them at the moment, but I'll get to it.
