That is one nice lookin QFR! drool.gif

Mind telling what type of keycaps you use? Did you buy in local store or ship from overseas?

Too bad i have the black base of QFR. Would have preffered the grey ones just like yours tho.

I got my keycaps from our friends here on the forums. Vortex and Ducky PBTs, plus some Signature Plastic double shots.

I painted mine silver. If you look closely, the bottom part of my case is still black. And the plate inside is red. Only the red switch one has a red plate. Mine are clear switches though. Had it modified. laugh.gif

So you've changed all the switches to clear ones? Not fancy a linear switch I reckon?

Well I've been looking at garage sales for keycaps bulk sale or such, couldnt find one atm.

But good to know that Vortex and Ducky keycaps can actually fit in QFR. Guessed ive to start searching at international online stores for them. cry.gif

if u look at my signature, u'll find the link tongue.gif
u'll be able to see pictures, see if it suits to your taste.

these are PBT thick doubleshot. expect high durability key quality.

I just did. Hmmmm. It's rather tempting! sweat.gif

So by having a PBT caps, I dont have to worry about letter fading/wear or keycap shine do i?

Anyhow, do you happen to have the normal font ones?

PBT keycaps won't shine as fast as ABS.
and it's doubleshot. meaning the legend will not fade away even if it's ABS.
this are the only ones i'm letting go tongue.gif

Damn it. This is really tempting.

We should discuss more in Private i guess haha

To those who had once used / currently using QFR, i've a question here.

The keyboard is not detectable whenever the drop down list of Launch startup repair / start windows normally screen pops up.

Which is annoying because i cannot able to choose "start windows normally", it chosen the highlighted "start up repair" instead.

Is this normal?

Do you want to always start windows normally?

Go to command prompt with admin,
CODE
bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures


In the future, you computer will not ask you about start up repair or start windows normally.
By default, will help you choose start windows normally.

Yes because i have an overclocked system.

Nway, will try your method later. Thanks btw~ rclxms.gif

Yes. For me, the CM QFR keystrokes does not register before Windows login screen. It does not work in BIOS/Select between Startup repair/Start normally.

Tried some solutions found online but none of them worked for me so I plugged in another keyboard to bypass the issue.

Thank you for clearing up this matter. At least i know it's a common issue.

Well, it is rather annoying to not being able to use your so called expensive mech keyboard for such an easy task.

Anyhow, apart from this glitch QFR is still a good mech keyboard. Love it to bits~ rclxms.gif
