Title: [CM Storm] QFR Stealth NOW AVAILABLE @ CMStore-USA; E-Tail Availability details
Post by: CM-Rajiv on Mon, 15 April 2013, 13:53:56
Hi everyone,

We got our shipment in over the weekend and I'm happy to say that we have secured a limited quantity at the CM-Store.  For you early adopters, we have it up and ready to go!

http://www.cmstore-usa.com/quickfire-stealth-mechanical-gaming-keyboard/

For Amazon/NewEgg - their shipment leaves the warehouse today and based on their internal logistics, it could take anywhere from 3-7 days to be fully available in their systems.  Since NewEgg is local, I would anticipate they get it sooner.  NewEgg will only carry the Brown switch for now. Amazon will get both brown and green from this first shipment.

Canada I have no definitive date because the shipment is leaving the warehouse today to respective channels of business, but will update when I get confirmation.

Thanks

why are the mx green boards more expensive?

Because MX Greens are more expensive individually, I believe. But even more so, it's because their "exotic". They're not your normal boards, until they are.

Is the Stealth with Browns coming to Canada too? Any word on which retailers?

In terms of price:

Blues > Blacks > Reds > Browns > Greens  ... all having to do with production/availability.

Yea, red boards used to be "exotic", now that they're ubiquitous, they're just as inexpensive.

Any plans to offer it with MX Blacks? I'm not willing to use Browns/Greens.

Supply and demand.

On that note, I demand CM to supply me with white keyboards.

Is the only difference from the "Rapid" the lack of key labels?

Won't be, because Filco has patented side-printed keycaps here. !@#$ patents!

Hmm, what about totally blank caps then?

Looks like Newegg has the Quickfire Stealth w/ MX Browns in stock according to my auto-notify.

+1 for blank keycaps. If I were to buy a stealth, I would immediately change the keycaps to a blank set just like I did on my QFR.

NewEgg is out of stock as of right now of Stealth w/ Browns.  :'(
Luckily, I got mine directly from the CM Store right when it was released, however, I do have ShopRunner for NewEgg and sponsored on Amazon Prime by a relative and totally forgot about it LOL. So instead I payed for 3-day shipping from CM Store when I could have gotten free 2-day shipping from NewEgg or Amazon :mad: :-[.

But you can buy other than Filco boards with ninja caps in Europe, like Ducky. Are they paying license fees or just trying their luck?

Which Ducky keyboards? I can't think of anything but some limited editions.

This is the model I was thinking of: Ducky G2Pro TKL Special with Shadow Caps
