Central Computers is an awesome place to buy parts and other computer related goods, though at the San Francisco location to many incompetent people come into the store. Those incompetent people make me frustrated.

Last time I swung by your SF store, there was one of the Corsair mechanical keyboards on display. As someone who never owned a mech keyboard before, it was a nice opportunity to try out the cherry mx red switches. Is there any chance you guys will stock mech keyboards with other switches?

Quite recently we got in the CM Storm Quick Fire with Cherry MX Blue switches. We also have the CM Storm Quick Fire on display if you're interested in demo'ing the MX Blue key switch. Our current price for it is competitive against all e-retailers as well, we have it at $79.95.

I also talked to my manager and gave her a list of other mechanical keyboards to look into carrying at the store.

Thanks Aaron.

Newark store also has one more XARMOR U9BL for $129.95. Blue switches.

It's currently not listed on our website due to an error in inventory (thinks we have 0 doh.gif) but we can ship or transfer to a local store.

Jerry from iOne just shot me an email and they recently discontinued their XARMOR series. They also seem to get bad reviews on Geekhack, I keep seeing threads about them dying within 6 months. Also, the XARMOR doesn't use cherry mx stabilizers, it uses a bar stabilizer. D:
