Did some modding on my Quick fire.
It now has cherry doubleshots, is white and has ghetto red switches, I love it and wanted to share.

This is what I had to work with, white cherry PBT caps wasnt too good looking on the board...


This is what I have now.

Looking very nice!
I am also looking for a Quickfire right now and am planning on spraying/painting it.
How did you do it?
Is this some off-white colour or pure white?

It's pure white.

I cleaned the board, sprayed some primer on it and then did like 8-9 really thin layers of white paint. Turned out great.

I tried to vinyl wrap it first but that didn't go well, so I painted it and the results speak for themselves.

Where did you get your german doubleshots from?

Wow, first time that logo'd spacebar actually looks good!

Yeah, I was pissed over the fact that I have to mod the spacebar from the double shot set to make it fit, but it looks good as it is now so I think I'm going to let it stay.

The wristrest is home made out of wood and vinyl, it's not attached to the board, but it has a mousepad under it so it is kinda attacked to the board, don't know how to explain so I'll just take pics and show you later today.

No need, that was my first impression (pretty clear on this pic), but somehow I got the impression that the sandwich was attached.. Is the mousepad attached to the plank though?

Noes

Btw huttala, gotta love them win 95/98 logos

oops double post

Thanks man.

Oh, man. I had stayed away from the Quickfire, because I had heard from someone that the Swedish version would have a horizontal Enter key. Well, that was wrong. Time to get one.

Hehe it's very much ISO.

Which switches are available in ISO?

As far as I know, blacks.

But it isnt that hard to desolder the switches and change em like I did. Just takes some time.

Ive seen reds too

Who cares about ISO anyway, I want that in ANSI!

What size is the space bar on the CM Storm? And on the Noppoo while we're at it too, I guess.

QF Space should be standard Filco 6.25 as it's said to be an pretty exact Filco clone.
But I have no idea about the Noppoo

Where? They have been on order for like 3 months, but you still can't get any boards with red switches.

The space on Quick fire is the same as the space on Filco. I have no idea about the noppoo, but it's much smaller then the space on my quick fire anyway.
