Noisy keys, you may want to install a set of O-Rings,
PriceThe CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i certainly isn't cheap, at £99 it's one of the more expensive TKL style keyboards on the market. Of course, you are getting additional features such as the backlighting and rock solid build quality; so it's still a sound...
The excellent backlighting has clearly pushed the price of the Quick Fire Rapid-I higher than you might expect for a tenkeyless keyboard, even a mechanical one, although there are plenty out there that retail for a lot more too. However, the build quality...

I have enjoyed my time with the little CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i , there's no doubt in my mind that it is a well focused piece of Gaming Hardware. The question though, may be whether it's worth the asking price… The keyboard came well packaged, with a d...

It's great knowing that CM Storm have taken a more consumer orientated approach to their product R&D, constantly sourcing feedback and opinions from customers and experts in the fields: I think it's safe to say that CM Storm's Quick Fire Rapid-i is a grea...
Solid, Great layout and spacing, Wonderful blank modding canvas, White LEDs work with most any scheme, The keyboard has a game built in, Lights are the most ‘pure' lights I've experienced yet, Braided cable offers plenty of length (1.8 meters/70.9 inches
Connection point for the cable is poorly designed – needs support or stronger connector to prevent breaking, ummmm. that was all I could find ‘bad' about this one, The chance of the connector breaking off inside the keyboard is the only thing that
Real Cherry backlit key switches, Easytoconfigure lighting effects, Softtouch paint covering, Tenkeyless design saves desk space
No dedicated macro or media keys, Very plain physical appearance, Priced a little high considering the competition
With Cherry's patents expired, the market is flooded with mechanical keyboards using less-expensive Chinese clone switches. Even vendors that have historically used Cherry switches are offering products with clone switches, so it's interesting to see Cool...
Handsome and sturdy, Five stock backlighting modes, plus user-definable profiles for custom backlighting, Onboard RAM for profile storage, Key repeat rate is tweakable
Repeat-rate keys also change the delay before repeats are triggered, No USB pass-through port or hub
The big selling point for the Rapid-I? Its individually programmable white-backlit keys. Despite some minor quibbles, we're pleased with how this rugged, handsome "tenkeyless" board performs. Read More…...
Abstract: When you're on the path to becoming a power user, you begin to notice certain things that the average person might not. One of those is the difference between typing on a sweet mechanical keyboard with luxurious key action versus pounding away on a run-of...

Abstract: Cooler Master's gaming peripheral brand, CM Storm, gets a new member of the family with the Quick Fire Rapid-i ($149.99), a gaming keyboard that boasts some cool features, eliminates some of the more irritating bells and whistles that come with many of th...

Cherry Brown has a little bit stiff than Cherry Red. If you think about it, when you say “Rapid-i” you'd imagine that it's for a keyboard where user can hit faster keystrokes. I like the Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX brown, though brown gives a more ‘contro...
