Title: Hey from UK
Post by: natzim on Sun, 07 December 2014, 16:05:28
Hi, I'm Nat.

I'm 17 and from the UK. I currently own the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid with MX Blacks, which I've had for about 8 or 9 months.

For Christmas I am (hopefully) getting the Poker II with MX Browns.

Here are some pics of my QuickFire Rapid

I guess I'll see you around,
Nat

Welcome to Geekhack!

I do hope Santa pulls through and gets you your Poker II!

P.S. It might be time to repaint the QFR case. :p I messed up painting mine and ended up wrapping it with vinyl.

Yeah I hope so! These pictures are quite old actually, and I have already repainted it, but haven't taken any photos yet.

Thanks! I've already seen that community, but was wondering why only CM Storms? Is it because they are relatively cheap or what?

The CM Storm is the Tesco's Value of the keyboard world, everyones entry in, so everyone has one, which is why they're so customisable  :)

Welcome!

Welcome to Geekhack!

That thread came about because CM made available a quantity of replacement case tops specifically for the QFR.  Many people complained about the excessive branding on some QFR models, so CM significant reduced the branding, and also sold replacement brand-free case tops.  GH arranged a bulk purchase of them, and distribution to members as part of that project.
