it look like a bwu that have a custom aluminum case :blank:
And... what does the handle on the left side for?
This is what will 'sell' so this is what they make. They also make the QFR, XT etc for those who want a 'normal' keyboard.
Wow... that's alotta keyboard
Did anyone else notice this (http://www.cmstorm.com/files/products/images/cm_07.png) saying you can get greens, reds and browns, but showing blue... or are we supposed to infer that it also means you can get blue?
removable metallic coverHaha..
Quoteremovable metalic cover metallic coverHaha..
I actually like the looks of it, but I'm not getting anything bigger than TKL from now on, so not getting one.
Not a fan, either.
I will sell well for sure, though.
Maybe the handle is so you can use it as a shield from everyone pointing at you and laughing.
Don't like it. The only appealing part is the brushed aluminum look. That's about it =/ Otherwise it's hideously oversized for no good reason.
Wow, this is really bad. It's not even aesthetically pleasing.
Did Mad Catz purchase Cooler Master?

Too large and unwieldy. I'd actually be interested if the shape was less clunky and actually reasonably sized.

I wonder if the macro keys are also mechanical.
Anyway the irregular shape kinda kills it for me.

Red, brown, and... green switches? I can see some green switch fans buying it just for that.

This wasn't designed for GH... This was designed for n00b kids. :D

They have the least control over shopping impulses.... Who better than children.

I call bull**** on the fact that ANYONE has ever actually used those screens... It makes zero sense to look down and away from the main screen.
This is most likely the ugliest keyboard I have ever seen. Even worse than some of the worst unicorn vomit boards.

You must have never seen the Azio Mech4 or Mech5.
So to go along with this keyboard, CM Storm also released a mouse and headset as part of their Aluminum Series:

Alu Case Everywhere :p
Alu Case Everywhere :p
I'm just sad major manufacturers take "aluminum case" to mean "a sheet of thin aluminum covering the product" instead of solid thick aluminum. It would be amazing if a mainstream manufacturer had a thick cnc aluminum case.

Nobody would buy it. Companies have to make a profit, as well as numbers. If they spent tons of time and money to have cases CNC milled, and they didn't sell, what then?
Vortex tried to provide aluminum cases with some sort of profit, and look at what happened with them. It just doesn't work for the average consumer. Does anyone take into account that when we buy Korean Kustom keyboards, we're almost essentially getting them at cost. What if someone tacked on more money for their profit? Would you want to buy it?

this is a backlit board. that should scream "GAMER" (possibly casual) to you. many gamers prefer backlit boards with lit legends because it makes their lives a bit easier, and they're not that picky about key legending, quality or feel.
CM designed the new XT and stealth for you. as my review of the XT more or less states, the XT is a brilliant little design that has everything that the average geekhacker wants, and nothing they don't want. frankly, i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you have carter (and his design team of course) to thank for this; both the proper market segmentation and the extraordinarily appropriate designs of the XT and stealth for the geekhack market. if you're not all that interested in a huge backlit board, well, no big surprise. leave those boards to the people who do want them (and yes, they definitely exist).

Would you prefer the Mini/Micro B for size reasons, or because an A port on a client device is non-standard?
I can't tell, but it looks like they may have wised up and used a full sized USB B port on this keyboard. Hopefully they'll change the port to a full sized B for the XTS.
I can think of a few things that I don't exactly like about the Quickfire XT, but they are small things that won't matter too much. The thing I dislike the most about the Quickfire XT is the USB port, I would personally prefer a micro-B or mini-B instead of a regular sized USB A port.
C'mon guys, we all know what that handle's for!Show Image(http://images04.olx.com.br/ui/4/24/08/1355147688_463791608_1-Fotos-de--Aulas-de-teclado-guitarra-percusao-cavaquinhoo-e-producao-musical.jpg)
So, it includes a Guitar strap too?

Mech4 is defenetly the most horrible board i've ever seen. Mech5 isn't so bad.
Also my friend purchased the new CM Mech we're talking about in this thread, and he was pretty surprised to see it's red backlite. Also he said it's worth it.

Most likely:
MX Brown = White LEDs
MX Blue = Blue LEDs
MX Red = Red LEDs.
