Looking to pick up an MX Brown variant of the CM Storm Quickfire XT, but OcUK and the rainforest are out of stock, anyone know if these keyboards are still being produced?
CM Storm Quickfire XT
- Thread starter archer_dan
- Start date
I'm looking for either a Brown or Blue 'XT' myself, so bump for some info.
After kerfuffle I had a couple of weeks ago with the 'CM Storm Quickfire XT' MX Blue I ordered here, I'm stuck in trying to source it too. (The one I purchased, received, and then rma'd back, turned out to be incorrectly listed as the 'XT', when it was in fact the 'Ultimate' - I was told at the time that I'd be contacted with the results of sourcing them, but that was 2 weeks ago?)
Ps. You may have changed the title over to 'CM Storm Ultimate Quickfire - Mechanical Keyboard - Blue Switch' now (KB-022-CM), but please note you're still incorrectly showing photos and an item description referring to the 'XT'!

I thought about the TK, but my desk is lit well, so I don't really need backlighting.
Just want a nice looking minimal MX Brown board, for which the XT looks like a great candidate

To add to what archer_dan just said, as far as I'm aware both the older Quickfire Rapid (non 'i' version TKY - also not on the site) and the Quickfire XT are made by the exact same 'Costar' OEM as higher-end (TKL & 104/105) boards like the Filco Majestouch 2 and WASD v2/CODE, whereas the other CM models all aren't and seem to suffer comparatively for it. There's a fair amount of info to be found on it out there. Most of the quality for none of the price? I'm all for that! 
Otherwise I pretty much fall in line with archer_dan's opinion on aesthetics I think. I'll take minimalism: no gizmos, no macros, or over-the-top design. If the electrostatic discharge issue (that's seemingly common) with the single colour cherry MXs weren't enough to put me off, I'm not much of fan of lit keyboards, especially when there's always a premium to pay for feature.
