I have a red 6gv2 and I love it ;D quite good to play dota 2 with it. Dont get STEALTH for god sake. U will regret it.Imagine you playing dota, in the heat of battle, u nneed to talk to teammatte or use number key set as some hotkeys. U wont be able to find it!!!! No matter ur typing skills are!!!! Bcuz your hands wont be in normal typing position during gaming cuz ur right hand will alwayys be on ur mouse and u will nid to keep looking down when u nid to press those keys at the right side. And in the heat of battle I am scrambling on my 6gv2 for that full stop hotkey. Without printed keycapd? Please u will play better on a 10 dollars dell keyboard. Tats why filco dont have ninja series for its multicam gaming keyboard and most of the gaming mech companies dont have stealth versions.in fact cm is the only one I know!!!
U can also consider filco. I planning to get filco multicam blues :p
The Stealth is just the QFR with side printed keys. The printing wears off pretty fast on the QFR keys.
Indeed, I know a couple of guys (including myself) who ordered the QFR + pbt caps to replace the CM ones on startThe Stealth is just the QFR with side printed keys. The printing wears off pretty fast on the QFR keys.
Most people swap their QFR keycaps out pretty quickly anyway.
I am leaning towards QFR/Stealth (haven't decided on the keypad style yet) and this is my first mechanical keyboard as well. So probably this question might sound stupid but is QFR compatible with Mac? Would I be able to remap the keys to switch the positions of Cmd and Alt?

I ask because the same product on mechanicalkeyboards.com mentions Mac compatibility:

If you have the budget . Get the HHKB or realforce
Hello everyone ;D,
so I've been playing video games for quite a long time on a rubber dome keyboard and then a friend of mine told me about mechs, I tested his keyboard (Corsair K60 i believe, I also tested blackwidow) and i fell in love with it :D
Now I want to purchase a mechanical keyboard, a red switch one and I found 4 keyboards but I don't know which one to choose (I tried to compare them but I really can't choose :()
Those 4 keyboards are:
- CM Storm Quickfire TKMorehttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81mJnbqc71L._SL1500_.jpg
- CM Storm Quickfire RapidMorehttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81HnKlwF65L._SL1500_.jpg
- CM Storm Quickfire StealthMorehttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71p6g2FNwAL._SL1500_.jpg
- Steelseries 6GV2 red versionMorehttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41eXeamjHoL.jpg
I searched but I can't find any difference between these keyboards (except maybe the number pad which i don't really need), even though i have a small preference for the 6gv2 (it looks really solid and simple)
So yeah... I'd be happy if you could help me choose one of them, thanks in advance ;D

Thank you all ! I tried the blue and brown switches today and I think I like the brown. :thumb:HHKB is a 60% board with a completely different switch. If you want a full sized/TKL board with more or less the same switch and probably also a more sane price. There are Realforce keyboards/Leopold FC660C/Type Heaven to look at.
I was worried about the noise factor but I think the brown is not that noisy and I can get the WASD O-rings if the noise really annoys me. For keycaps I might go with the stealth.
And I looked at HHKB - I dont think I'd survive its layout - I dont like the number and function key overlap in HHKB.

Although really you have to use Topre for a couple of days to really get the feel for it. And after a maximum of two weeks it is said that you will find it difficult to switch back to MX.

I don't think I actually fully appreciated topre until after a month or two of using it, honestly.
It's odd though, I prefer Topre for typing English words, but when I have to write anything in fast spurts, I prefer MX (e.g. coding, keymashing (gaming)).

That is the case for a lot of people - Topre is kinda meh, but after using it for a while and then switching back to MX you start really missing Topre. At that point some people simply sell all their MX keyboards, invest in another Topre board or two, a few keycaps sets, and they are set for life.

I just got a Topre after trying every MX switch and Topre is what rubber dome should be, and what MX wants to be.
