I am kinda surprised there aren't any QFR shoutouts since there is a thread about modding them. Is it because of the feel and build quality of brands like Filco, Ducky and Leopold? While the Quick Fire Rapid is more like a cheap pretty modding toy?
I have one. It was cheap and has MX switches. Lucky for me, I got one with the least ugly plastic. However...
It has tall, ugly keycaps. It feels clunky (and not in a "hey, solid!" way like my Model M.) And, even though it has MX switches, it feels harsh.
My son uses it, so I have to type on it from time to time. Each time I am surprised how unfriendly it feels. Does Cherry (like so many other manufacturers) speed-bin their switches? It would explain the huge variance in cost and feel between MX keyboards.
As cheap MX keyboards go, the QFR feels cheap and clunky in the same amount the Rosewill feels cheap and fragile.
But it is still better than any mush-dome keyboard!
