CM Storm QuickFire Rapid/Stealth: how to avoid the red plate?
« on: Fri, 09 August 2013, 18:39:59 »
I'm looking for a CM Storm QuickFire w/ Cherry MX Red switches but am unsure what model to select to avoid the red painted plate, is there a model (either Rapid or Stealth) that always comes with the plain black plate or do all the current MX Red switch offerings use the red painted plate as well?

Thanks in advance.

I think all the reds have the red switchplate.

Pretty much all the MX Red models all have red plate, only other switches get black plate.

This includes:

QuickFire Rapid
QuickFire Stealth
QuickFire XT
QuickFire TK

So ... buy anything apart from MX red switches.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
