If you prefer blue or brown and have a limited budget, then I think it is a no brainer.  You want this:

A truly great 'board for under $60.

i've had bad experience with the quickfire pro,  it doesnt seem to get along with amd's am3 + motherboards.   

i suspect it is a driver issue, but the keyboard did not come packaged with any sort of drivers and i could not find any online.  a rep from CM told me that the keyboard is plug and play.  i ended up getting rid of it in favor of another keyboard.

an odd run around that i found was to have another usb keyboard plugged in while using my quickfire pro.  i really dont know how i figured it out, or why it works.  it just did until i got a new one.

hope this helps

What sort of issues were you running into? There are no drivers for the QFR, it is simply plug and play.

The way QuickFire Pro works is that it has a 6KRO mode and NKRO mode.  6KRO mode is like any regular USB keyboard, NKRO mode works by faking multiple keyboards to achieve the NRKO.  So you'll see lots of keyboard plug in when it's only one.  I suspect the NKRO mode was causing issue, you could've switch back to 6KRO then it should work fine (Fn Lock On, then N+6).

As for the OP, I say go with Leopold.

Since QuickFire Pro is iOne, otherwise QuickFire Rapid would've been perfect.

One of the great, early advantages of GH was helping other members around the world obtain keyboards they, normally could not purchase on their own.

I would be more then happy to help facilitate this purchase for you.  Just drop me a PM.
