This is a high end Costar-made board no China made weakness here, even though it costs the same as much worse China-made keyboards from Razer and other brands. I've moved beyond, but I'll never forget how impressed I was by this gem. The keycaps themselves are a bit more rougher than Filco keycaps but my fingertips liked how they felt.Īll in all, I would definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone who wants a tenkeyless keyboard with MX red switches. Some of the keycaps I could feel the etching more than others and it took a bit getting used to. The keycaps are laser etched with a very nice robotic looking font. Black casing and black keycaps with a red board underneath the key sections. As far as aesthetics, the keyboard is red and black. There are also spare keycaps with the Cooler Master logo for your Ctrl or Alt keys. Also included in the box are a keycap puller and red replacement keycaps for your arrows keys. There are red LED's on the Disable Windows key, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock. I love disabling it for when playing games that can cause me to hit that darn key and switch to the Windows OS by mistake. There are 8 media keys and my favorite is the "Disable Windows Key" key. If you are just using the USB, you will be getting a polling rate of 1000Hz (1ms response time) for the keys.Īnother valued addition, in my opinion, is the media keys. It will fit, but it almost looks as if the bent portion of the cable after routing it is a bit too stressed.Ĭooler Master also provides a PS/2 adapter if you want full NKRO for the keys. The point at which the mini-USB attaches to the keyboard doesn't give much lenient space for the cable to be routed through the left or right grooves. It might be too sturdy if you plan to use the grooves behind the keyboard to place the cable through. The sleeving looks very similar to TechFlex nylon sleeving and is very sturdy. The keyboard comes with a mini-USB to USB cable that is sleeved. You can definitely feel a difference between red and black MX's (if you like linear switches). This is my first time trying red switches and I must say, I really, really like them. There are four rubber coated feet + two foldable stands on the bottom. Part of the heft comes from the rubber-coating but it doesn't cause it to flex. It's built very sturdy and the base has a good weight to it (not too heavy though). The CM Storm build is very, very similar to the Filco in quality and craftsmanship. I also own a Filco Tenkeyless with Black switches. My initial impressions of the keyboard are very positive. It took about a week to ship out (even though the site claims there is a 2-3 day turn around after the order is placed). Ea.The CM Storm Quickfire Rapid is a Tenkeyless Cherry MX Red Switch keyboard.
