The Rapid-I from CM Storm (Cooler Master) has some sweet lighting modes, and solid build quality to go along with its Cherry MX mechanical switches and repeat rate control.

oooo nice

[Goldilock]

so this is TKL version that still costs same around full layout? how about no.

[GeekySole9354]

Me want

[Murdoch]

Just curious, are they gonna make a UK layout version?

[Jacky]

video is still unlisted (just an heads up)

Yes, I have a Logitech G105 and it does cause some strain to my arm because the mouse is too far away, might switch it to one of these 10 keyless.

[Rorgash]

i got a tk CM keyboard with a numpad might be a good way to slowly move towards this

[frustratedrocka]

Holy shit, $150?! More than double the price of the regular rapid just for a backlight?

[TacticlTwinkie]

This is why I really like the Quickfire TK. It has the tenkeyless form factor, without really loosing anything. I don't use the number pad super often, but its there for when I need it.

[GriggsCK]

Quickfire Tk is still better . 10 keyless form factor with a numpad.

Edit: Although sometimes keep switching between function pad and numpad is quite annoying, but hey, it is there.

[Phage]

I <3 TKL keyboards

I wish tenkeyless boards went to the Quickfire TK format as well, makes a lot more sense.

[Jamez Gamer]

There's no Rapid I on Amazon UK ;__;

[MetEishYa]

Personally i dnt like tenkeyless, just feels unnatural for me, especially since i have broard shoulders. Not to mention the numpad is really handy when using spreed sheets or anything with numbers.

Almost the same price to Ducky Shine 3 TKL, why would you bought Rapid-I.. Shine has more backlighting mode

maybe because it is new? I'm sure the price would drop with so many competitors out there. And I believe the official price is lower, maybe that guy wants to make some money.

I am really a fan of Cooler Master keyboards they are always built great and look great, I am really starting to like smaller 10 key less keyboards.

[ShadowCaptain]

I wish i would have gone TLK for use at home I love my g710+ but it takes up alot of space on my desk

 

maybe I can get one and use my g710+ at work for uber comfy typing

[Eyal]

Personally I find the numberpad useless, I use the top row for that.. Also reactive typing is really cool..

The biggest problem is availability in my country, especially the cherry mx green version..

[GriggsCK]

Personally I find the numberpad useless, I use the top row for that.. 

if you needed to type lots of number like serial numbers, price, etc. Numpad can really comes in handy. Top row is good but not as fast and convenient compare to numberpad.

Ducky is childish and cheap, the backlighting modes are gimmicky and CM's build quality is much better than Ducky's.

[Mooshi]

I feel like an old man, but I'm going to have to echo Linus here. I use my numpad for number entry enough to justify only using keyboards with them. Entering numbers from the bank about your letter keys is terribly inefficient.

There's a typo in the intro. "Nand chosen for performance" 

[NuraXx]

Anyone has an idea where I can get this from Europe/Germany?
