Kind of funny how when they first came out the only complain was the over-branding. Now that keyboard is literally zero lol. I remember sneaking out of my house and driving an hour to get my first mechanical keyboard, which was the CM Storm Rapid QFR.

Looks great! I luckily have the 'un-branded' version that I picked up for $60 (mx blues) and I really like it. I can never decide if I want to use my filco majestouch with mx browns for my measly $60 CM, that's how nice it feels. So far I've been leaning towards the CM because it's tenkeyless and I really enjoy gaming on that setup.

The Quickfire Stealth looks great! If I needed another board, I'd consider it. I really like my Quickfire TK though. The backlight looks amazing.

CM is great at taking feedback and making changes. They dropped iOne because their target audience wouldn't touch any of their keyboards once they found out it was manufactured by them lol.

I am having a really hard time deciding between the Zowie Celeritas and the Das Keyboard Model S Professional Soft Pressure Point Mechanical Keyboard (Brown switches). Can anyone convince me one way or the other? They both seem simple and solid.



Das is one of the top brands in mechanical keyboards. Das Keyboard by far. It also has a USB hub, which the Celeritas doesn't have. No brainier there really. If it was Das vs a Filco board, then there's some touch decisions that need to be made.



I guess it depends which Das you get. I heard the quality of some models/newer models have went down ever since they switched manufactures.

I was sad when i got my QFR (blues), even the logo between the esc and f1 was gone. The only thing that remained was the cm storm on the top left front.

Damn, my grammar is just terrible sometimes. When I see people quote my earlier posts, I just cringe every time.

I still have the original version in near perfect condition. It's just something I'm never going to let go of lol. I use it for SC2, but that's it. Otherwise I use my Ducky Shine II for everything else.

Man I want a mechanical keyboard but I am so lost. I am from EU and in local stores there are only 3 ones available that I dont like, I also dont really want to order over internet since I cant test them out, I dont even know what switch type I want, I had no chance to test different ones out yet. I am pretty sure I want either blue, brown or red. The ones in store here are cheap but I am afraid they are lower quality, ofc a filco would be awesome but those are sooo expensive...sigh....anyone has a tip for me?

Where do you live in the EU? Deskthority is an EU mechanical keyboard forum if you want to hit them up. Perhaps they can direct you to local stores that have some decent keyboards or internet sites that ship from the EU so shipping would cost less. For most newcomers, blues or browns will be the best keys to try out first. Also don't expect to find cheap, mechanical keyboards. They may seem pricey to you, but the money is well spent if you pick a quality keyboard. The Filco's price cost is definitely justified by its superior quality.

If you want "Filco like" quality without breaking the bank, then look into the CM Quickfire Rapid series, but not the ones with the led lights such as the Pro or TK versions. It's based on filco, but for half the price and it's the best bang for buck in terms of quality, if you don't care about leds, dedicated macro keys, or a numpad. To many, the difference is not worth the extra $50-$70 dollars to get the filco over the Quickfire Rapid.

Although they do look expensive in your area T.T They can be had here in the states for as low as $55.
