Is my new keyboard a bad choice?

[KezzaMcFezza]

Hey guys, so i recently got some money from my uncle as it was my bday a few weeks ago and i bought this keyboard...

I'm just wondering if mu purchase was a good one or if the keyboard i got has a bad reputation. I did hear the quickfire series was good for budget keyboards but are they reliable? i would like this keyboard for like 5 years or so. As my cheapo dell keyboard has lasted about that long.

 

Thanks in advance

That's a pretty solid keyboard. Nobody would be able to tell you how long it will last, because that's based on a lot of factors and luck.

That's a great keyboard. Only thing I dislike is the keycaps.

They're ABS plastic. Pretty much every keyboard is until you reach about $150+.

Well my cheapo dell keyboard has it and i have no problem with it  so i think i'm good. And besides i can buy new keycaps if i wanted.

I heard the Logitech G710+ has crappy keycaps. Are those ABS plastic too?

Yeah. GMK ABS keycaps are better than PBT though. But back to your question, Logitech keycaps suck.

The g710+ keycaps were fixed a few years ago.

Yeah, i spent 100$+ on just pbt Keycaps, so yeah. Most regular keyboards are abs. Not sure what my apple adjustable keyboard is, but it's pretty nice, sure Not abs

Quickfire TK is an amazing board. I just wish they would come out with a new version with fully standard bottom row and maybe RGB. Definitely my favorite keyboard layout/size. CM Storm boards in general are very well built and liked. The gamer font used on the older boards' keycaps isn't the prettiest though.
