My hands have been washed each time before I even touch my keyboard so it must be the oils in my hands..... Nothing I can really do about that. It pisses me off that I still have 3-5 year old rubber dome keyboards that have absolutely no fading or staining. This is not my picture but look at the fade/staining on the "fire" text on the space bar, my keys are starting to look like this (not as bad but its getting worse) after a few weeks.

Yep, thats what I meant. My keys are as bad, if not worse then the Fire in that picture.

Quick, FIRE that spacebar logo!

People have a 50/50% luck with Isopropyl alchohol cleaning that up.

Body chemistry is complicated.

sadly the cm store didn't have an option for faster shipping and I couldn't find any info on how long it took so I guess I will have to pay full price. I refuse to wait a week for anything lol.

The alcohol didn't work. The problem is the white infill getting stained right? I wouldn't be having this problem if the key caps were white and lasered without infill correct? Or CM could have just used another method that actually protects the lettering.

This code is not to be posted on Slickdeals or any other sites other than GH or I will have to take it down. This is too help out this community, not piss of my tier 1 buyers.

You can't post a coupon and really expect it to not be posted in other places... Saying this here will not help it stop spreading around, and I find it silly to suggest that would control the coupon in such a way.

Well you got your wish. Heaven forbid we try and do something nice for a community.

It is now limited to US customers and Free Shipping has been removed. The code spread to far. Hope everyone got in while they could.

I bought the Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Rapid Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Red CHERRY MX Switches (SGK-4000-GKCR1-US) TENKEYLESS.....and was happily surprised to see minimal branding.

Where did you buy it? I would like to buy one but I would prefer one with the limited branding.
