Hi Guys

We are getting loads of requests about this, so I have decided to open up pre orders on it.

As yet we have the following information available:
- no firm eta, expected stock landing in the UK at the end of June
- only MX brown will be available here initially. [I have asked for red to be hurried along]


This announcement is really for the people who are keen to secure one and I can see this thing flying out if demand is anything to go by.

I will update the thread as soon as I know more.


CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid-i Fully LED Backlit Mechanical TKL Gaming Keyboard - Brown Switch @ £89.99 inc VAT

Powered by a 32-bit ARM processor, the Rapid-i's ActivLite Technology incorporates 5 lighting modes with 5 brightness levels. Using ActivLite, users find themselves adding a richer aesthetic to their space. One such mode enables the backlighting to brightly illuminate upon each key press and fade softly as your fingers move on to the next key.

The effect is a deeply satisfying visual trail to bring a unique effect to your typing experience. Because of the Rapid-i's 32bit ARM processor more backlight modes can, and will be added for the Rapid-i in the future. ActivLite also allows users to individually program keys for unique game and application uses, while the onboard memory makes it possible to save profiles that store up to four different presets.

That's a pretty strong keyboard for the price, I think CM Storm have hit the nail on the head with a variety of products at varying prices.
 
Well none show the backlight really... :(

There's this but I'm not even sure if it's the right keyboard or caps, page is foreign:

E: Actually just saw a pic and it looks good, just need to stump up the £130 for board + caps :eek: !

So has this come and gone in stock and waiting for another batch or is it still overdue?

I prefer the older Quick Fire Rapid without the LEDs in all black but it seems impossible to get so this is the closest choice.

Took me ages to decide on a new keyboard and now I cant get my hands on it, typical :D
