Title: Quickfire Rapid, Quickfire TK, or K70?
Post by: dankestofmemes on Mon, 16 February 2015, 22:07:03

I'm not sure if the premium of the K70 is worth it, or how good the other two are. Also, which backlight is more comfortable - red or white?

Welcome to Geekhack!

+1 QFR - I have one and it's great.  I also have QFS and it is just as great.

TK has an odd layout, to me.

Red backlight is nice, but white goes with everything (plus you can get little plastic colour changer things to sit over the white LEDs to make any colour you want).

k70 or k70 rgb?

also, is this your first board?  i'm assuming so.

i say the qf TK is the safest bet.  why?

people are used to the numpad even if they KNOW they don't use it ("do i know or do i just think i know" :p ).  having one is backup against buyers remorse without sacrificing too much deskspace and still getting access to mechanical switches.


red vs white?  do you mean scientifically?  if not, then white is much more relaxing as a general consensus.

I just got my QFR today and I love it.

I just happen to love my Topre boards more

Will be keeping the QFR because it is my only MX board at the moment

You can go TKL (e.g. QFR) and enjoy the extra desk space, as well as the improved feeling of having the mouse a bit closer to the centre of your body.

If you really miss the numpad, you can always get an external one.

QFR, because you can do this:

I'd go with the k70 because of the better warranty and I just like corsair better overall. I myself haven't had a problem with any corsair products. Also if you decide to go TKL after the first week or so (me at least) will forget a num pad even exist : P
