Modders-Inc is all about PC case modding, PC hardware reviews, technology news, and PC-related articles. Underneath, four rubber soles hold the Rapid-i in place and two heels can be flipped out to raise the back end for a steeper typing position. The QuickFire Rapid-i is also slightly taller with a sharper angle. The QuickFire Rapid-i is slightly larger than the original QuickFire Rapid but the key-count remains the same.

Product was given in exchange for work done to produce this review Price at the time of review: $149.99 MSRP ($139.99 at ) Like the original QFR, the QuickFire Rapid-i is a feature-balanced gaming keyboard with a tempered style and competitively priced against current backlit tenkeyless offerings. Since then, Cooler Master has diversified their mechanical keyboard line to cater to those who prefer the feature oriented gaming keyboards such as MECH, QF Trigger, QF Ultimate and QF TK and those that prefer a more conservative look with the QF Rapid, QF Stealth, and QF XT. The critical and user response to the QFR was overwhelmingly positive due to its affordable price and excellent built quality. IOne (CM Quick Fire Pro, CM Storm Trigger Z) "supposedly" has the "lowest return rate" (though I'm not really sure about that), but their reputation is terrible and the fact that Solid Year has overrun them isn't something that surprises me.īut in the end, it's not always about the OEM, the company needs to keep an eye over them and control what they're doing and yes, that's part of what Quality Control is and something many companies are lacking nowadays.Cooler Master’s QuickFire Rapid was the first and perhaps the most popular mechanical keyboard from their CM Storm line. Solid Year (Rapid-I, Mech, TK) on the other hand is quite fast and cheaper, their soldering is really nice but their keycaps just aren't good at all and they're partly to blame for the Logitech G710+ fiasco too. Not like everyone will use the same factory as FILCO or the one used for Ducky Shine II and III. Also, they're only a middle man, they're only as good as the factory they end up choosing.
QUICKFIRE CM STORM HOW TO
Costar (Rapid, Stealth, XT, Trigger) is nice and they know how to get the job done when they want to, but when they **** something up, you get an entire batch of faulty units, plus they're slow and expensive. In any case, the only way to fix this problem is to contact Cooler Master's support, they should already be aware of the problem.Īnd anyways, the quality of Cooler Master products varies a lot since they're using multiple OEMs. They pulled many of them out of the market before it became something even bigger, but it seems a few units are still out there, but yes, they already assumed the error and already took several actions to fix it.Īnother problem that occurred during the same time-frame was that a batch of 200 units of ABNT2 (Brazilian Portuguese) layout CM Quick Fire Stealth keyboards had a wrong enter keycap (CM Brazil had to send the correct keycap to everyone who bought it):

It was a batch of around 150 CM Quick Fire Stealths with MX Brown on which the entire area around the backspace key had bad soldering. CM had an entire batch of CM Quick Fire Stealth units with problems with the soldering and yes, most of the blame goes to Costar, but CM needs to take responsibility as well.
