Good deal even if they are only blacks. Picked up the ISO layout browns one myself.

Looks like the CM QF Rapid is out of stock. Would have been an awesome deal. ISO layout is still available though.

It's a pain to get a decent keyboard in ISO layout here in the States so I had to jump at this. Going to replace the Spanish specific keycaps with blanks I think. <$60 for a good quality costar made mechanical keyboard is a steal.

I recently acquired a QFR (not from that site) with blacks.  So far it is a solid board :)

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Depends on a lot of things.  I got mine last week, apparently the last one in stock at CPL, and it is branded.  But this is Australia, so who knows.

YMMV dending on country.  Maybe see if you can track down Carter ...

The rapid is still in stock, as is the trigger.  Hell of a deal for a good keyboard...

Keyboard arrived this evening, but wasn't the ISO layout one that I had ordered, it was the US ANSI layout  :-[

Emailed customer support, of course it was delivered after close of business on Friday so I'll likely have to wait till Monday to get any response. Has anyone had experience with Coolermaster Customer Support? Are they good?

I just noticed another email from CM, they extended the sale thru Sunday Oct 28. Except its 30$ off now and code is "blackout".  Did the rapid with browns and Spanish ISO you ordered come as US ansi w/browns? Let me know I'd actually prefer that, and I'm not a fan of blacks.

Yeah, it did. I have a QFR with browns and no branding sitting here that I don't want to touch in case I need to send it back. I assume they made a mistake so there's no guarantee that you'd get the same thing.



I don't want an ANSI layout, I prefer ISO, it's a bummer for me. The box has the branding on it, but the actual keyboard inside doesn't.

I hope they switch it out for you, which I can't see them saying otherwise. With all the past sales in the last couple of months, I think there gearing up for there new CM Storm TK which look pretty nice actually. Anyway if they give you any hassle, PM me and I'll buy the board off you. Thx for getting back to me.
