Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Rapid Mechanical Gaming Keyboard w/ Cherry Blue MX Switches $52 + Free shipping (expired)

Quote from carbonex30 : The description looks like it's for the "pro gaming" version not "rapid", as the backlight is only on the "pro gaming" version.

My bad, not the description. Just the picture and manufacturer product number. They do have another listing for Pro with higher price.

On another note, did some research and found out that Rapid is the better quality even though Pro supposedly higher end. Hoping this is for Rapid.

Quote from Marshillboy : What don't you like about the Cherry Brown Leopold? I was considering buying one of those the other day

I didn't like the browns nearly as much as the blue, feedback while typing just isn't as strong. I would only go with brown if you are worried about the noise. Keyboard construction is excellent, much like filco. My only complaint is that the keys seems to be able to be knocked off the switches sometimes by accident. They can easily be added back on however.

Damn I just checked my order. Backordered!!! : |

Order status on site is still Processing, I ordered around 6:00am EST yesterday.

I bought one, but using a guest account, and never got the confirmation email. So now I have nothing to show for or track my order, and they already charged my card. >.>

in for 1 at amazon for $57.60... much rather deal with prime vs backorders, officemax, etc.


thanks op

I am in the same boat man.

When this sale expires?

I just bought it yesterday at Frys with price match. I would say its a very nice keyboard to type on. However, when I'm playing games, my hands are straining after a few hours. Im using a cheap membrane keyboard and this is my first mechanical keyboard and never had a problems before. I guess I will return mine soon.

PS: I think the straining of my hands cause of the structure of the keyboard being too high. Maybe if I can use it with a resting pad, that would solve my problem.

I decided to order from Amazon instead, plus tax its only about $5 more for me. Just received and using it right now, very nice keyboard. Louder than what Im used to but its very compact and keys have nice feedback. Very nice build quality as well. Dont think I will ever go back to those old cheapo ones again!

Does Officemax have a history of fulfilling backorders, or will our orders be cancelled?

Great deal op. I plan on selling my Das should this order come through.

For those deciding between Cherry Brown or Blue; for general use and typing blue is far and away my preference. Brown is a well made but unexciting switch to use. It feels like pressing down on a cheap plastic pen but without the tactile click. Blues give a great snappy click and really sing. The only thing better IMO is an IBM Model F AT, but the AT key layout is far less than ideal.

I feel good saying that they shouldn't have any problem filling back orders and making sure that everyone who has placed orders will be taken care of. This obviously exploded fast from the bigdeals code. There website says ships 3-5 business days. Reason they have to prepare more stock since we all order this. Patience is good for such a good deal.

up to $59.99 now

oh well

Does it come with any kind of ergonomic wrist wrest? Or should order separately?

Looks like it's over now.
$75 - $15 = $60.
Still cheaper than Amazon ($65), but for $5 I'd just go with Prime shipping instead of having to wait a week for it to even leave the warehouse.
