...a keyboard to use until the RGB?
« on: Thu, 27 March 2014, 20:53:40 »
So I want the upcoming Corsair RGB keyboard. Who knows when that will be. Until then, my keyboard(s) are dying and I have to get something. I would love MX clear but since that's not much of an option I'm looking at reds or browns. In my sample kit I prefer all the switch types using TWO of the wasd red o-rings so I will do something similar here too. The question then becomes, which board?

Max Blackbird TKL for the nicer caps but also the most expensive.
Ducky Shine 3 TKL for the reactive lighting mode.
Quickfire Rapid TKL for the low price.

Something else?

I think these all have standard keycaps, right? I'd like the ability to swap out the set with some POMs or something later on.

What do you guys think?

Yeah if your really waiting for another one I would go with the QFR. They are excellent boards.

Buy a used QFR for around $50 shipped, hold on to that, and then resell it for the same price when the RGB comes out. Are you 100% sold on the RGB, though?
