- Is it overall quality keyboard compared to ducky/filco

- Is it easy to read the letters when sitting down(something im concerned about)

 

I originally planned to get ducky but, I can't get them anymore in the color I want and I didn't really care about back lighting to begin with. Then I looked at the MJ2 and it was 200+ so I just was like, I could buy 2 CM for the price of 1 filco........ -.-. Then this led me to here. Or should I just wait altogether for newer keyboards to come out? Any suggestions?

Yes, the Coolermaster keyboards are very solidly built, and IMO comparable build quality to Ducky/Filco.  

 

About reading the letters...

         It would mainly depend on how high you're sitting compared to the keyboard.

I mean I don't really look down at the keyboard that much anyway. But I could see it as a nuisance if you in dim lighting or something thats all.

I have the CM Quickfire XT Stealth and I love it. The build quality is, imo, better than Corsair and the lettering is actually easy to read in dim lighting. The lighting your monitor produces is good enough. Also, @CM Nic would be a good person to ask about questions

Hello there. Yes, the Stealth front printed key caps are generally easy to read while using your keyboard. However, as other users stated, it largely depends on the angle that you're trying to view the keys. I find them generally easy to view at most angles, even if I sit very close to the keyboard and look down. Of course, this will depend on your height and so forth.

I personally own a QFS and I can vouch for it.  It's very solidly built and can't really be beaten at the price point.  Reading the keys shouldn't be a problem, but it all depends on the angle you're trying to look at it.  If anything, you can always buy a QFR if you're concerned about having trouble reading the keys.  They're pretty much the same thing.
