Title: My First Mechanical Keyboard CM STORM QuickFire XT
Post by: ArmonRa on Thu, 02 April 2015, 15:13:24: I just got my first mechanical keyboard ever.

It's CM STORM QuickFire XT - Cherry MX Blue.

I like it. I was so excited that I wrote over 1 000 words blog post in the last two hours.

Here's a photo (not the best because it's night here)

Not the best photos because it's night here and I used a phone. Anyway this keyboard feels like a tank and the sound is a killer too. Hope my next door neighbors love it too. Those ****ers are loud.

Woah I haven't seen these before... is there one compatible for the TK? I didn't see one on that page. (Not holding my breath, I know the TK is like the red-headed stepchild as far as CM's firmware goes)

That's the way it goes. :( Maybe someday.
