Hello people

I have read several guides and posts in this forum for a while now, trying to see what would suit me best and I cant make up my mind!

QUICKFIRE PRO SGK-4010-GKCM1 U$s172
QUICK FIRE RAPID SGK-4000-GKCL1 u$s 143
K60 u$s187
Strom Trigger u$s 217
BWU u$s 219

Backlight I would really like, but the prices of those are a real killer for me so im leaning for the rapid. Do you think the extra cash would be a wise pick to get one with backlight?

I think thats the only difference between them

Thanks for the advice!

I thought the 6gv2 and 7g only came in blacks and reds? I'm not even sure the 7g comes with reds.

I thought they were black only too, however the massive enter key and short backspace is a massive turn off for me.

I don't like either of those, the CM looks to plasticy.

The CM board is uses Costar stabelizers if I am correct and the Razer one uses Cherry stabilizers.
I would go with the CM Storm keyboard, but not that one, I would rather go with the Quick Fire Rapid as it's really cheap for what you get.
