Title: Will new Quickfire Rapids be released soon?
Post by: Altis on Fri, 27 June 2014, 13:11:40

Been looking around and it seems that most places are out of stock or very low on Quickfire Rapids.

I know the -i version came out recently, but do we know if the normal version is about to be updated?

Thanks

Yes, the other Rapids are being phased out, that's why you can't find them in stock.  The Rapid-I is the replacement.

There's one in stock in my city for MX Blue... It's still full price CAD $80 though. I don't want to pay another 75% more for one, even if it does have backlighting.

Currently, the -i only seems to have MX brown. Will the stealth be gone as well?
