i picked one up last week with blues. no regrets. makes me cum like half the time i write papers(i type with my cock)

nothing wrong with that

sweet

it's sticky

Can't go wrong with the quickfire rapid. If you need the numbpad go for the big one, but if you can live without it/need the space on your desk the tenkey-less is the way to go.

I have a qf rapid with reds, it's the best. And I'm in love with the extra space because its tkl.

CM Quickfire is not the best mechanical but for the price you really can't go wrong. You'll enjoy playing on one substantially more then a dome keyboard.

Just tried one of the TKL quickfires with browns. Feels great, nice keyboard.

Canada Computers? I'll probably be heading there to pick one up too this weekend

What would you say is the best keyboard for that price?

I just picked one up today with blues and it feels so good

I think you misinterpreted what I said. For that price, it's probably the best you're going to find. However, there are other mechanical keyboard with much better constrction (Leopold, Filco, Das Keyboad, and Ducky to name a few).

On sale for $60 + tax. Cherry MX Blue.

Haven't understood the significance of the color of the switches? Is one of better quality? Less pressure needed to register a keypress? Pls respond

Skip to around 2 min for the switches explanation. I recommend watching the whole thing, its very informative.

Thanks

Quickfire has great build quality

A few of the CM keyboards are $40 off for a little while: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=473583872662583 if that entices anyone.

I have it, works well.

I'm currently typing on a Quickfire Rapid (the TKL one) with MX Reds. I love it. I'm only slightly versed in mechanical boards, so I hope this helps.

Buy it.

Unless you want to drop 150-170 on a filco board, you aren't going to get something of better build quality. The QF Rapid is literally a repackaged filco TKL with shittier keycaps. That said, don't get the fullsize CM storm board. I can't vouch for it being bad or anything, but it's not a "repackaged filco" like the TKL version is.

Leopolds are very good, I used an MX brown fullsize in the office for a while. If the aesthetics of the CM Storm aren't up your alley, but you don't want to pay 160 for a filco, Leopold is a definite option. Note however, that keyboard maniacs who have spent thousands on keyboards largely agree that the QF Rapid's stabilizers (Costar) are better than those on a Leopold board (not that it matters for tf2 anyway).

I don't recommend daskeyboard as highly - they're more geared toward typing than gaming, and don't offer the same selection of switches filco, CMstorm, or Leopold do. They also have a glossy finish, making them annoying to maintain.

Ducky is cool if you want a back-lit keyboard. Pretty sure they have a TKL model out now too.

If you're a hipster, buy a KBtalking board.

If you wanna pick up bitches at lans, drop 300 on a Topre Realforce or HHKpro.

Hope I helped. Sorry for my bad English.

I'm a plebian - what are the differences between different switches? Not in construction, but their feel/give/click/springing.

Get a Unicomp, you'll be happy you did.

I have the brown switch one and it works fine. It fits with my case too. It works pretty well. c:
