Title: Need some advice
Post by: HotKillerZzz on Wed, 16 July 2014, 18:21:05
So I found some one who wants to trade my qfr with His razer tournament edition 2013. What do you guys think? I love back lit, but is there any decrease in quality?
Are the cherry switches quality the same. I do not mind about keycaps as I have sets my self.

Thank you!

Make sure you run it through Aquakeytest before you do the trade

if everything works I think it's an even trade.

also razer TE isn't backlit and has a funny bottom row

The tournament edition isnt back lit? Oh man, i just went to do a deeper search seems like you are right. Qfr is gonna stay with me. What would be a good keyboard that has back lit? Is the razer backlit products anygood?

Good choice. In the long run I think you'll be happy you stuck with your QFR.

Ducky Shine 3, CMStorm QuickFire Rapid-i.

There are other options, but many of them either don't have a standard bottom row, or are not near the quality of those 2.

The Déck Hassium and Francium are decent, too. They actually have very good keycaps despite the controversial font used.
