CM Storm Trigger
« on: Mon, 15 October 2012, 12:32:09 »
Starting at 3PM PDT these are going on sale on Newegg's Shell Shocker. This usually means quite a good deal off, so hopefully this might help someone make a split second decision :D

40% layout, anyone?

Looks like it's has MX Black switches.

Same board with Browns available for $90 ($80 after rebate) available on amazon.

Just checked the page, it's at $90 and has zero taxes with free shipping, so it's comparable to that Amazon deal.

Xavier is right. I was posting on TL about this a few hours ago and I noticed that Amazon has browns and Newegg has blacks. Still a great deal either way for anyone who loves either of those switches, because they're made by Costar. Although the ones on Amazon are out-of-stock, and probably will be for a while.

Linear is the way to go.  Black all the way.

Out of stock though on Amazon for the Brown keys. Also, I HATE dealing with rebates.

Is it fully worth the $90?

Since it says it's out of stock, even if I order the keyboard right now (also it is shipped and sold by Amazon) while it's out of stock (and they'll ship it when it gets in stock), will it still be $90 for when it comes in stock (no matter the price change) or no?

Not sure but 90 is a great deal if you want browns. I have tried the board too. It is a really good one mainly due to the wrist rest. The browns in there are great. And I do love browns myself but right now I am in the msrket for reds or blacks. First I am getting some chinese boards. 90 bucks for either of those deals are worth it.

Board is back down to $90 with promo code EMCYTZT2395. Given the frequency of these, I wouldn't expect to ever pay more than $90 for one of these, frankly. Similar to purchasing Rosewills in that regard. Go Newegg!

Just letting you know, that's for the MX Black version of the board, not Brown. Just letting everyone know.

Also, the same $90 sale like NCIX USA is also the same price for Amazon as well.
