I ordered it with a friend online from someone that makes almost every kind of cable with many different options on material and design... He made the order, so I don't know the site.

Anyone know where I can buy an extra OEM cable for my CM QF Rapid? Would any standard USB - Mini Usb cable work?

Any cable would do...
Most sites that sell have multicolour cables... Banggood has one in a small variety of colours....
I recently bought a red one from there, but it hasn't arrived yet...

This is beautiful. Do you have any links to the keycaps you used?

EDIT: Nvm, found them, and they even have the set for norwegian keyboards!

I have a cm storm quickfire red and the enter key is broken, one if the tree "x" connectors on the underside of the button is broken in half. The switch is also not responding as easily. Where can I get a replacement enter key and a red switch? I dont want to buy a new keyboard since I like this one alot.

Contact our EU Support team via Support Ticket through CM Fanzone at the following link. Maybe they can help you.

I dun goofed.. spilled ramen over my Rapid-I.. I panicked and flipped the keyboard upside down to get the liquid out. Didn't realize that unplugging was the best option, so I kept testing the keyboard as I was cleaning it. LEDs don't turn on anymore nor do the keys register.

I disassembled down to the board, soaked it in water for a few minutes, and now it's drying.

Am I screwed?

Probably, similar happened to my model-m but i just had a few water drops in it that killed it. I didnt dry my hands enough and it died. Or i splashed some water on it. It wasnt much.

But yeah if you had unplugged it. Maybe it could have lived. But seeing as you had current through it while it was wet theres no telling, since you shorted something. Id start looking for a new board though. Or throw it in the dishwasher to get it super clean and try to rma it maybe.

It sucks this happened, sad cuz you can drench anything as long as theres no power to it

Yeah, I sent in an RMA just to see. Maybe whoever sees my ticket will offer me some godly customer service (although probably not since I both spilled and opened it up).

Also asked them if I could pay a replacement fee that's cheaper than the retail cost.

I loved this keyboard and since it was a gift from my girlfriend, I'm going to get another one, one way or another.

Uhh oohhhh.... Most likely



Next time I suggest contacting us before taking the keyboard apart. With that said If it happens again and you happen to be out of warranty, take it apart and set the wet PCB into some dry un-cooked rice to soak up all the moisture overnight and clean it up with rubbing alcohol while praying the keyboard is all good. Do not ever soak electronics in water...
:doh:

Although this is not in warranty due to negligence and tampering of a sealed product. I admire your honesty as I have approved your RMA Request for a replacement this one time. Yes we're Godly
:p

This is correct. And yes we can tell if there is water damage and tampering of the keyboard.

Please fill me in, I really dont see how water is that big a deal. What is condensation?
People in ln2 community throw 500-1000$ gpus in the dishwasher to get vaseline off them. Let them get completely dry and they are golden.

I mean some solvents suggested for removing thermal compound and cleaning are harsh on plastics, yet...

Just saying i think you are blowing things out of proportion. Am I missing something?
Of course with no power to anything while wet and untill its completely dry.

Coolermaster is cool tho so you are good.

I was just making suggestions based on worst case scenario, and what i have read around from other sections.
