Title: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid/Stealth: how to avoid the red plate?
Post by: rushed on Fri, 09 August 2013, 18:39:59

I'm looking for a CM Storm QuickFire w/ Cherry MX Red switches but am unsure what model to select to avoid the red painted plate, is there a model (either Rapid or Stealth) that always comes with the plain black plate or do all the current MX Red switch offerings use the red painted plate as well?

Thanks in advance.

I think all the reds have the red switchplate.

Post in the CM Storm forum under the Vendor forums. CMcarter will be able to answer that question for you.

Pretty much all the MX Red models all have red plate, only other switches get black plate.

This includes:

QuickFire Rapid
QuickFire Stealth
QuickFire XT
QuickFire TK

So ... buy anything apart from MX red switches.
