do I need another QFR?

probably not, but it's only $50....

edit: woah a lot of negative review on there... so many people got defective boards that didn't last very long.

anyone heard about this? Was there an initial bad batch?
You'd think the PCBs would be exactly the same as the normal QFR..

I am trying to teach my 11YO to touch-type, but blank keycaps were too much for him.  This might be a good compromise, and he already has a QFR.

Still, a set of front-print keycaps might be cheaper...

Hmmm.  Thanks for the find!

What's wrong with the quality on these...The reviews are pretty bad for a QFR.

You have to take bad reviews on Newegg with a grain of salt.  Most reviews - especially for something like this are usually negative.  No one wants to take the time if everything is fine, but if something is wrong - time for a negative review.

From CoolerMaster's website:

The CM Storm Quick Fire Stealth is a refined Quick Fire Rapid aimed at purists and the gaming elite.

It's basically a QFR with side printed caps.  It should work.  However this seems to have a nice logo-less topcover, don't know why you'd want to replace it right away.
