Title: CM Storm Quick Fire Stealth at Massdrop
Post by: Axollott on Thu, 16 April 2015, 02:18:46
Currently only with Cherry MX browns, my question is... Is it worth it? Should i get it? I currently have a Corsair K70 with reds but i'm kinda looking for a board without a number pad, this one is to wide but i don't really need another board (you know how this works...  :p )

The QFR is a good keyboard.

Looks like MX blue and green switches have been added.

I have a QFS with MX greens - fantastic board!  It hasn't missed a beat.

I also have QFR with MX blacks - another fantastic board!

QFS/QFR has a standard layout, so nearly any replacement keycap set will fit.

I have the QFR with browns and I really like it.  Its well built and the space saved with the tkl is well appreciated on my desk.

Well,  I didn't buy it haha 😂  I'm looking for a mini keyboard  so I don't have to reach too far for the mouse,  I hope there is a drop soon for a leopold 660,  or vortex releases the backlit Pok3r, or a Matías Clicky Mini board, but I would prefer to have arrow keys.  :O

That kind of self control is something to admire

Only because it wasnt a race probably. I have a 60, tkl and full so i think i'd only pull the trigger on a 75%.

Do you really like the full?  I find difficult to appreciate the ergonomics of full-size boards.

i find myself using the numpad more than the arrows, so I would prefer something like the TK executed a little better. Also one that works natively on macs would be nice.

I'm generally a full size fan for general use although TKL definitely feels better for gaming. My gaming on comp is limited to sc2, which sadly is less than 2hr a week otherwise I'd probably have a TKL as my main.

Have you considered getting a TKL and an external numpad?

I feel your pain about board compatibility with OS X
but then, this is probably the last Apple computer i buy, they suck now. Their policies, their bug fixing, their new products, their promiscuous backdoors  :p . Spoiled little apples.

I have but I believe most of the numpads available now are kalih? I'd probably get greens for those if I could.
