CM Storm Quickfire TK

[_wky]

I'm planning to get the CM Storm Quickfire TK with MX Browns, I'm coming from a membrainical (MsTrMind made that up, props to them) keyboard.

I type and game (thought about Blues but I think that after a short while the sound would annoy me.)

I know that people have their own preferences so can't say which switches to get but does anyone own this keyboard and if so is there anything I should know about it?

 

How's the backlight on the white one (I watched Linus' video on the one with blues) and do the keycaps have much (if any) wobble like a membrane keyboard?

[tbc]

define 'wobble'

 

a keycap and a switch make up a single key.  there are multiple pieces and they are detachable, so there will always be 'wobble'.

As in do they wobble like they're cheap and low quality.

I have the TK with blues and there is no wobble. Plus after awhile of using it I don't even notice the click sound anymore. They really aren't that loud IMO..

Cooler Master boards are some of the best boards and are compared to to Filco in quality. Unless there is a defect or something you will not be disappointed with the board.

Thanks for the feed back folks, SOOOO looking forward to getting it (getting it in November hopefully)

Just bought the same as OneGun ; have to say it's pretty good, the illumination is pretty good IMO (individually backlit keys), the keyboard is quite heavy for it's size, but feels REALLY solid.  The only "cons" : to use the arrow keys you have to disable NUMLK, which bugs me a little. If you use alot the arrow keys (Excel for example) this is more relevant, but you get used to it. Work-around : having a detachable numpad.

 

Still happy with the purchase. You should get one.

Only thing I can say to help you is that I personally use a CM Storm Mechanical keyboard and I couldnt be more happy with it.. It also was my first mechanical keyboard after coming from a membrane Saitek Eclipse. But Im very pleased and the build quality is good and I hear also their service is good :)
