CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate is not using standard layout.
CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i is using standard layout and does come with F-Media Keys.

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid(WITHOUT "i") does have those "play, pause, etc, the MULTI MEDIA KEYS"... But it doesn't have LED backlite.

CM Storm Trigger Z is using standard layout although with extra 5 buttons(which is compatible with standard keycaps) on the left.

CM Storm QuickFire Stealth, Stealth XT, XT, Rapid, Rapid-i are all standard.

it all started from the day you made your first mkb purchase...

i'd go with rapid-i

she's one of the good keyboard reviewer! i using K120 logitech. no need monyet raja batang aka MKB 

Ducky Shine 3 is usually RM 4XX generally. So, if you want a BLUE switches one, it'll probably be RM 4XX(only RED switches has the promotion).
Ducky Zero Shine is RM 3XX by default.
CM Storm Rapid-i is RM 3XX by default.

I'll go for Rapid-i due to removable USB cable and the cable is BRAIDED.

Until now, Ducky and Filco is still using generic plastic cable... and all other brands are using BRAIDED cables already. I am MAD about this!!

You need to test a few MKBs in a row carefully, sit down, breath and type.
Try typing and also gaming(imagine yourself in a game and you press stuffs you always press).

Then, you'll know the "FEEL" differences. 

just use ur alienware la.. if u don't wan just give me.

Just got back from Taiwan with this rubber ducky, I thought it was green switch, the box said green switch but it turns out to be blue zzz

PS. Condolences to you and your family..

It's very reputable among custom community.

rob a shop. cheapest liao 

And, I also find those features on those keyboards are mostly not necessary.
Like tons of extra buttons which is not likely to press... at all. Or, simply, these features don't hurt or affect your usages...

In the end, it's typing speed and feeling that triumph... Linus confirmed that one can type faster using mechanical keyboard in general.
And, MKB switches are more durable and can last longer than rubber dome "switches".
Also, a good MKB have better quality construction(a lot heavier) over a rubber dome keyboard.

So, for me:
Durability, Quality, Speed and Feel of Typing > Extra unnecessary features. 

Not to mention EXTRA MODIFICATION where you can't do on rubber dome keyboards. 

i think you meant the Microsoft Sidewinder X6... i have briefly used one sidewinder x4 though and its really nice feel to type on them   

Add some info.
CM also have material surface issue. They are using rubbery coat on their recent keyboards like rapid-i and novatouch.
Will peel off after some periods.

bro you can consider ducky shine 3 from heavyarms rm 369 (all switches) i went there last week.
but i heard there is high led failure rate with the recent batch of ducky shine series.
