Hello all, I'm a noob here but thought I'd ask for your help with my quest to get a CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid-SI in the USA! They're currently not sold here, so I began looking for and asking the internet where I could get one. A CM rep on reddit.com told me that if I got it on Massdrop and got enough votes I could potentially get one through that avenue. Here is a link to the drop:

Anyways, take a peak and maybe some of you are trying to get this board too. Any help is much appreciated! Regardless, thank you for your time.
Best,

I voted for both of them for you, however there are plenty of other places where you can get TKL boards in the US, have you looked at http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/

Thank you! I have looked at the wasd website before, sadly I am too picky for my own good! I'm hoping to get a stealth keycapped board that is backlit and in 70% style that has MX Browns. So far I can't find a way to do it without going with a mostly custom solution, something that isn't ideal for me. Thanks again, though!

Hello all, thanks again for you continued support! Just an FYI, we're over halfway there! If you are interested and want to get one of these boards ask friends, cohorts, mates, mothers, everyone to help out! Again, thank you for your help and time :)
Best,

Voted! I have the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i and it's such a nice board. Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question, but the Si is just for the extra lights right?

Thank you! Not a stupid question at all. It basically has bottom mounted LEDs, versus top mounted LEDs (with respect to the switch) and has stealth keycaps, meaning the top of the keycap where normally characters are printed is blank, and the bottom side of the keycap has been printed on. Thanks again!
