From the project

A replacement PCB and plate for the old CM Storm QuickFireRapid and Filco Majestouch TKL keyboards.

This project is an ode to the old-school Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid TKL keyboard -- a board that introduced many people to the mechanical keyboard hobby years ago.

Over time, upgrade parts for these old mechanical keyboards have become hard to find. This project attempts to solve that by providing PCB designs that can be manufactured by services like JLCPCB or PCBWay.
