Hey from UK
« on: Sun, 07 December 2014, 16:05:28 »
Hi, I'm Nat.

I'm 17 and from the UK. I currently own the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid with MX Blacks, which I've had for about 8 or 9 months.

For Christmas I am (hopefully) getting the Poker II with MX Browns.

Here are some pics of my QuickFire Rapid







I guess I'll see you around,
Nat

Welcome to Geekhack!

I do hope Santa pulls through and gets you your Poker II!

P.S. It might be time to repaint the QFR case. :p I messed up painting mine and ended up wrapping it with vinyl.

Yeah I hope so! These pictures are quite old actually, and I have already repainted it, but haven't taken any photos yet.

Thanks! I've already seen that community, but was wondering why only CM Storms? Is it because they are relatively cheap or what?

The CM Storm is the Tesco's Value of the keyboard world, everyones entry in, so everyone has one, which is why they're so customisable  :)

Welcome!
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Welcome to Geekhack!

That thread came about because CM made available a quantity of replacement case tops specifically for the QFR.  Many people complained about the excessive branding on some QFR models, so CM significant reduced the branding, and also sold replacement brand-free case tops.  GH arranged a bulk purchase of them, and distribution to members as part of that project.
"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
