Hello guys, just got my CM Storm Quickfire Rapid MX Red yesterday, and it was an extreme disappointment.
Plugged it in the first with the stock Mini USB cable and iop7+89 pops out randomly and the keys qweruiop doesn't seem to register and work. However the other keys were working fine, after fiddling around with it and replaced the stock USB cable with a mini USB cable from my external hard drive it magically worked!
Here comes the crappiest part, got home from Uni today eager to spend some quality time with the keyboard, the same thing happened again! iop789+ appears, and QWER UIOP doesn't register even with the mini USB from the hard disk, swapped back to the stock cable back and forth, same thing.
All i can say is, i am extremely disappointed, this board was my first venture into the mechanical keyboard world and it was so frustrating.
I have e-mailed CMStorm support, hopefully i'll be getting a reply back as soon as possible.
But does anyone here seems to know how to get around this or has any advice/opinion i am willing to try out, i would really hate having to wait another week for a replacement and the tedious process of sending this board back.
I'm running on a Macbook Pro mid 2009 model, if that is relevant.
Cheers
