Yeah definitely a bargain! I guess I just had my heart set on a classier looking keyboard.

CM quickfire rapid should be available somewhere, a little more expensive though.

As requested, a crappy cell pic of my nighthawk X9, back from customization (base of MX reds, fkeys, numpad, tilde, FN, esc, capslock, and backspace MX browns, enter, windows, and page MX black)

It's nowhere near as bright as it is in the picture, 3 levels of backlighting and a pulse mode similar to razer

[image loading]

Expensive, but I don't think I'm going to be replacing this keyboard until it breaks.


I'm glad you got what you wanted and hope it works out for you but my god that's the 'busiest' looking keyboard I've ever seen. I don't think I could handle so much lighting.

By the way can we start spoiling other posts that has pictures and YT videos when quoting? Makes it a bit more difficult to scroll/read other posts. Rant aside.. I think this one has it beat by far in terms of 'busy'.
+ Show Spoiler +

any idea how he did the LEDs? He got varying colours for the same key.
if this works for the slow motion reactive mode for shine 3, omg

It's difficult to say. I'd imagine that those are RGB LED lights, but I'm not positive. I think it looks very cool as a showcase, but I don't think I'd like to play on a keyboard like that despite my love for backlit keyboards and desire for multiple LEDs. What Honey said in his earlier post about changing individual key's LEDs is what I'd truly want more than anything.

Definitely a bargain. That's 20% cheaper than most of the places in the US currently.

Linus is the man behind the Linux OS.

I agree, if you need a barebones board with backlighting, you can't beat that price

looks overpriced to me. You can get a CM storm for way less.

The Cherry also looks really dated and bulky

It's a fair price in Germany, about 50-60 €. The CM keyboards are 70-90 €.

If there's all the different Chinese brands in Taiwan available, those keyboards should all be better. There should be something for a good price, but plate mounted, better looking design, and n-key rollover.

Ah, the only one I found, on a quick google search, was about 90 euros.


One thing TL has taught me is how much hardware prices vary wildly from region to region.

I still think it's blocky and ugly. There are quite a few alps-switch boards that are very solid and very cheap out there. I've always wanted to pick up a tenkeyless board with complicated black alps.

Yes, I agree. It looks like it wastes a lot of space for no good reason. It's looking like something from the 1980s or 90s. It doesn't have a metal plate on the inside, so it feels very light despite it's large size. It feels cheap overall.

Cherry sells a lot of special keyboards with the same overall shape, programmable extra keys, a card scanner etc. Those are keyboards for industry and cash registers or something. That may be why it's so bulky.

Are the CM keyboards fully mechanical, or are some of the lesser used keys rubber dome?

I hope that the aluminum Ducky shine or g2pro will come out in a swedish/iso layout, Ducky nordic seems to be a thing. I'd like to try some blues with a really sturdy case.

Well thats a shame, I guess I'll have to rely on them making an iso version then.

He guys one quick question. Do browns sound different than reds and blacks? I've used all three and I can't recall much of a difference between them, but I could be wrong.
