States 1 to 2 months to ship, but mine is shipping today, so looks like a good deal.

I ordered mine last week and it hasn't shipped. Time to have a chat with Amazon if they're filling new orders before their backorders.

I think they're getting a shipment of them in today. I got a notification that I could expect mine on the 27th, and I have automatic 2 day shipping with Prime. We shall see.

 

[gorcorps]

Huh, they responded to that email in a hurry. They said there was a problem that prevented my order from shipping and they fixed it. Because of the delay they're upgrading it to next day shipping.

+1 amazon

They sent me an e-mail saying mine was to be shipped.. so I requested cancellation. In the end, couldn't justify having yet another keyboard.

I prefer the natural keyboards now, though. More comfortable to type.

 

[jimenez3rd]

In for one, I have never used on of these before what makes it difficult to type?

 

[fredlove]

Yeah. Good idea. As a gift, does it fit???

So excited to get rid of this Mech4 keyboard for this. This thing has been a disaster.

I tried to order one but it is showing between mar 25 to april 17 delivery

Best buy is now selling it 99 as well but tax..

 

[Owls]

mine shipped today as well. thanks OP!

Got mine in yesterday. Very sweet board. The keys are a little stiffer than the cherry blacks I'm used to, but the important part is all of these keys work properly

I'd be interested in this keyboard except I don't need all the nonsense macro keys.

They don't take up that much room (only one column of keys) and you might actually find them useful once you have them. If not, then you never have to touch them.

the most annoying thing about the G keys is that you press them instead of pressing escape. maybe someday I'll get used to it.

:hmm:

So then why not map the G key you keep hitting by mistake to Esc?

Good advice I was doing the same this will fix that.

Mine came in last week (2 days after ordering), just got home today from a business trip and ready to play with it! Thanks for the heads up on this kb, this is my first mechanical

Probably a great keyboard, but the design is pretty ugly. I''d rather keep my CM QuickFire TK.

Great to see it on sale even if it came out very little ago, though.

Thanks OP. I got mine yesterday. It takes me a while to really get the feel of a new keyboard so I will reserve my thoughts for later. I had been using a Logitech lighted keyboard(non mechanical) and I also have a Steel Series 6G V2 that I never really liked.

Had to google the quickfire... now I'm laughing that you think the G710 is ugly

Lol I know right.

The QuickFire Rapid is plastered in CM logos which makes it ugly. The TK looks like any normal keyboard, not like most of the hideous "gaming" designs we're used to seeing now. Not hating because I know it's a great keyboard, but I don't understand the need to make all mechanical keyboards have gaudy, "I want your attention" designs. They should just keep it simple, IMO:

QFR's have been transitioning to a single logo on the case for a couple months now. Just on the back side behind the Escape key.
