Hey all

I just ordered my QFR and I will admit that I didn't read all the pages in this thread ... but I have a pretty simple question ...


What kind of keycaps will fit this keyboard and where can I get for cheap .... (I am from South Africa and need to try get as cheap as possible so that I can still afford shipping ... lol)


All information would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards

I am loving mine so far minus one little issue....I believe the two pads at the bottom of the keyboard that are supposed to prevent it from moving/sliding are uneven- as in one side is higher then the other causing the keyboard to have "movement" during usage.......Not sure if anyone else has this problem and what can be done to correct it?

Keyboard is probably warped.

Grab it from the sides and twist it a little.

The same thing (uneven) was present on a Topre Realforce board I had for some days from keyboardco. Twisted it slightlity to make it lay perfectly flat.
Stayed that way ever since.
Same thing on the Nopoo Choc Mini. And no, not my desk is uneven, I placed those boards on several wooden and glass tables to make sure. wink.gif

Just got mine yesterday (browns). From what I was using, and pretty much the only one I have used for the last 5 years($20 rubber), i'm still getting used to the "shorter" distance but it isn't bad since I also use a MacBook Pro 13'. Every once in a while i'll hit to keys at the same time.
First mechanical and I really like it so far

Hey all ...

So my CM QFR was delivered yesterday and I found a very annoying thing ... the enter button squeaks if I press it near the top edge of the button ... ... Is there a way to fix this ... also ... how do you remove keys that have that "guide" ... (enter, shift, space)


All information would be greatly appreciated ...

Kind regards.
