If anyone else wants them, the QFR with green switches (not, I repeat, NOT the stealth version) is listed in the CM Store for the US.
Looking forward to getting my hands on this marvelous piece of clicky clacky goodness.
-
I missed read your post I got excited that they were for sale, the regular cherry mx green QFR has been on the site for a lonng time but not for sale in a while.
-
Hmm, it just let me add one to cart. When do you find out they're not in stock? I thought if there was no stock, it let you know right away.
-
link me to where you add to cart...?

little insight, for what it's worth;
just got off with CM Support:
Topic: Cm QFR MX Green switch keyboard available in store but they say "CHERRY MX Green switch will be available based on region" are they available to buy in the USA now?
A representative will be connected, please be patient.
We are still trying to connect you, please be patient. If you don't want to wait please leave a message. Thank you!

2 more questions, 1. will the stealth have mx green switch options/
and 2. any scrap of information when they will be available?
REP 7:27:58 PM
The stealth is not a released item yet, so I don't have any information on what switches will be available. I am afraid we don't have an eta on that either.
EZ 7:28:49 PM
aw ;/ I wanna buy the MX greens but I'm afraid if I do the stealth version will come out
can you at least tell me if I should wait?
which would mean they are coming soon
REP 7:30:48 PM
I would wait.
EZ 7:31:01 PM
NICE!

I'd like to have a green switch board, although I'm not sure how often I'd use it.
Anyone know if these will ever come around again? ---> http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=199 / http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/articles.php?article=cherry_green_mx_switches_coming
I emailed them about that one a while back and they didnt know/didnt think it was likely.
I'd rather have a full sized board, I use the numpad at work and home too much..

I hear you on the full-size board, I have the CM Trigger with Greens, a lovely 104-key unit. But if you're on the fence about Greens, it's hard to go wrong with a TKL board with Greens for $100... Subtle logo on the back of the case, and no weird gray rubber coating (my one gripe about the Trigger).
Having said that, my next new keyboard will probably be a Ducky Shine 2, ideally with green LEDs and White switches. Or Grays. Or even Greens, the LED color is what I'm trying to match.
-
I'm a bit sea sick ... I really like Cherry Stabs more but who knows when the Ducky will come out again with Greens.
Still, it's going to be hard to say no if the XTS w/ Greens gets released.
Come on Ducky :(

I know. I was looking to order one and saw that they were out of stock. Rajiv posted last week in the QFR Stealth thread that they were getting a shipment of the regular QFR with Greens in. I was refreshing the site multiple times a day looking for it. I thought I would pass on the info, as I know that Green boards are in high demand right now (after I bought mine of course :D )

I do prefer Cherry stabs over the Costar ones, but like you, I'm not sure when/if Ducky is going to release a non-Shine II board with greens. I really want them to release a Pro with Cherry White (not Clears, the milk switch) and engraved PBT caps. I would be all over that.
Hopefully the guys that are waiting for a QFR Stealth with Greens get theirs soon. I thought about it, but I have a few nice keycap sets coming from group buys.

But what about (on the stealth version)
*Stealthy rubber coated Keyboard body
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=10035&product_name=CM%20Storm%20QuickFire%20Stealth
I'm not a fan of that.
If its anything like the Asus G73S that has it all over I semi-retired except for trips out of town, then blegh, thats crap. If anyone knows for sure post up. If so then maybe I'll take the plunge for the $100 board tonight/tomorrow morning.

I thought I remember reading something about variance in keycap size on some CM boards so swapping sets isn't possible? Now I can't find it. If that's not the case Ill probably order one today, had to see what I could find for a numpad first.

That applies to the QuickFire TK that I know of, swapping sets on that doesn't work out so well since the bottom row is sized differently.
