Hi guys, I received my CM Storm Quickfire Rapid (Blue switch) 3 days ago, after 3 days of typing, I'm really disappointed with it.

Here's the problem I encountered, the "backspace" key has MUCH significant resistant force than other keys. So when I was typing and made any single error which required me to tape the backspace, I would feel the difference and it actually slows down my typing speed a lot because I can't quickly double/triple tap the backspace.

I m just wondering does anybody here who own a quickfire rapid blue switch actually encounter this similar issue?

I'm going to send it back to the seller for refund, and I think I do not like the tactile feedback. In this case, does it mean I'm more like a Red Switch person? Any suggestion for those who doesn't like blue switch?

So do you find the quickfire rapid Red good for typing?
by "squeaky" I guess you mean it is just the sound right? does it require more force to press compared to other keys?

I like the way you describe red and blue hahaha.
Alright, I guess I'm just bad luck to receive that keyboard with backspace issue. The extra force to press backspace is really too significant compared to others. If a normal blue switch quickfire does not have that issue, I think I'll ask for replacement instead of refund.


p/s: do u guys realize the quickfire is slightly too "tall" (sits high)? I can't really rest my wrist on desk and type.

What are the mechanical keyboards with wrist rest?
Does CM storm trigger sound good?

rosewill mech keyboard (brown switch) vs cm storm quickfire rapid (brown switch), which one will you guys pick? lol i'm in this shitty dilemma right now. man.. i just hate this feeling.

p/s: or just recommend me any other brown switch keyboard!

Agreed. and with all kinds of positive comments about this keyboard from youtube, etc, we can clearly see how well has logitech built up its reputation.

anyway, one off topic question here, I need recommendation for a mech keyboard like this:

Must have: ps2 plug for NKRO, wrist rest, BROWN switch
Doesn't matter: numpad, backlit and macro keys.

Before this i actually decided to get cm storm trigger until i realize it doesn't have NKRO. How bout iOne XArmor U9BL-S?

p/s: and it really looks like the future g710+ is my type. but i can't wait becos i have no keyboard now! lol.

In terms of quality, WASD and Quickfire, which is better?

I really love the tenkeyless rapid, but if I pick WASD, I can customize it to white and fit my my white prodigy casing color scheme.

so.. put aside the price, typing quality wise, are they similar?
