It's been quite a wait for some of you, but it's now finally here in North America.

We're shipping it out to NewEgg and Amazon this week (should take about 2-3 weeks to arrive). 
Just a heads up before the launch date on July 2nd.   :)

How bout some real innovation...

Make the ergodox... the plans are free and public

Stop rehashing the same thing we've seen over and over again.

That said:

We do appreciate CM bringing over the essence of mechanical keyboards to the masses at a reasonable price. :D

Only Blue and Red? I know you guys stopped making Black switches for the QFR, but are you not making Brown switches now either?

Just the initial stock that arrived. XT will also come in Brown, Green, Clear w/ the possibility of limited black switch offerings (We still offer Black switch QFR on Amazon)

Just cant get everything to arrive at the same time unfortunately.

Welcome back Carter !!!

:D

First question, I just saw the pictures from the website.  Does QuickFire XT not have colored backplate like QuickFire Stealth/Rapid?

And I'm probably jumping the gun here but...... when is QuickFire XT Stealth and QuickFire XTS coming out?  lol

The QF XT Red switch has a red backplate for sure.  The rest are black backplates.  We may change this in the future but we'll listen to feedback from you all as well :)

Rajiv, wasn't this model supposed to have a green switch option as well? There's a youtube video review of this from someone who said this would have a green switch option (his actual review was on a blue switch version). I thought someone here on the forum mentioned it as well.

Ever since the CM Storm Trigger green switch sold out, I think a lot of us have been waiting for another full size board with a green switch.

It will come in a variety of colors including green. These are just the first two switch types to arrive and we will continue to push new switch types out as we receive them.
