Hi sifus,

Just ordered my Quickfire Rapid Red from Dotatech. It's on sale - RM265.

Wondering if anyone in Malaysia is selling sound dampeners like these: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/che...-dampeners.html

Does anyone here have any experience with these? Will the 0.4mm variety kill the "feel"?

Thanks in advance.

PS. This is going to be my first mechanical keyboard in... 25 years? Damn I'm old.

To Human10,

Thanks for your advice. Just received my CM STORM QUICKFIRE RAPID in the mail today and typing on it now. You're right. I don't need sound dampeners! Looks like I'm the touch typing type who doesn't hammer the keys. So its pretty quiet.

Quick review of CM STORM QFR:

Price = RM265 from lingloong84. Apparently, its on sale. Some other sellers going for RM325. Wonder why QFR can be priced alongside other MKBs that have more bells and whistles.

Heavy for its size. Tenkeyless. Solid build. I like the cable routing system because my workspace is small and the normal Orange CC that I go to has a tiny table. Windows-key deactivation is a nice touch.

Since this is my first MKB, it does feel different (That's the point isn't it?) but it doesn't feel unnatural. It's my first MKB in about... 20 years?

Best part about this keyboard is the size, or lack of it. Not having the numpad makes a big difference to the size. I can imagine coupling the keyboard with my iPad in the field for work and bringing it to my favourite CCs for games at night.

If you guys are in the market for a no frills MKB that is priced below USD100/RM300, then QFR is probably a good choice. But, I believe that the QFR is no longer in production so you better grab what's left now.
