Good Keyboard

 

The keyboard worked and felt nice. It was nice to see how the USB cable is removable in case it breaks

High quality, no nonsense.

 

I didn't knock off an egg because the cons felt subjective and nitpicky. In the short time I've owned this keyboard, I've fallen head-over-heels for it. Thought it is a full 104 key keyboard, it has a slender profile and fits easily and comfortably in...

Standard 104 key layout, making it easy to find a set of custom keycaps ; Exceptional build quality: solid board with very little flex and no creaking ; Minimalist, rubberized housing that doesn't smudge or get in the way ; Four large, slide-resistant...

The flip-out stands on the bottom of the keyboard have no texture, the board slides around easily with the feet extended ; They keycaps have very noticeable 3D legends, and produce a lackluster "clack" when bottoming out ; The Windows key lock LED on...

Defective product and still waiting

 

Months after purchase all I got to do with my keyboard has been troubleshooting and sending emails to customer support. My trusty Logitech G510 has been in use since then. It's a shame I was looking forward to owning a superior mechanical keyboard but...

Best keyboard I ever used... for 2 weeks

After e or 3 weeks of usage I started to notice strange things happened whenever I used my numpad. Eventually the equipment degraded to the point where hitting numpad6, at any moment, would immediately close my computer. At first I believed the problem...

Cooler Master SGK-4030-GKCL1-US

 

This is a high quality, full sized keyboard that I hope will last me for a number of years. I like how a USB to PS2 adapter has been included with this keyboard as I prefer to use PS2 since it is the best connector choice for keyboards

Some people might not like the fact that it does not have back-lit keys, but I do not care about that. Some might not be used to how loud the keys are when they are pressed, but I am coming from an old mechanical keyboard that is just as loud and it...

cherry mx blue for $50 = BUY

 

I could not justify spending $45+ more on MX Brown just to be quieter at work.

50 after a $30 mail in rebate = great value for a cherry mx blue keyboard to use at work ; Keycap puller is handy

Keys seem stiffer than the RK-9200BU which also uses a cherry mx blue switch ; No backlit LED's, but for $50 I can not complain

Click clickity click click click

 

Solid construction, looks nice, great packaging and extra buttons. I like that there was a tool to remove keys that came in the box with the optional extra keys

I didn't realize that MX switches turn your computer into a freaking typewriter. Lesson learned: next time go play with one of these at a local store before buying it. I can't do any "silent gaming" anymore with my headset - now I have to close the...

CM Storm QuickFire XT with CHERRY MX Blue Switches

 

^^ all that complaining aside, this keyboard is awesome. I would probably opt for the green switches if I had to do it again, but the blues are great for typing at the office and I am sure they would give my K90 a run for its money when gaming (not...

the switches, the switches, the switches

media keys dont work all that well - turning down spotify/pandora is kind of a pain (too many needed key presses to make a difference in sound level). No wrist rest. No audio ports for headphones and no usb pass through. Not deal breakers, but for this...

Cooler Master SGK-4030-GKCL1-US

 

Man, I am going to have a blast typing on this thing. A lot better than the traditional rubber based keyboards.

Keyboard is oozing with quality ; Sound is really crisp ; Easy to press the keys

Just a little louder than I thought it would be

Great Mechanical keyboard!

 

Shipped and delivered really quick. Even with the "eggsaver" shipping option, I got it in less than 3 days.

When you first hold it, you will know its a quality keyboard because it has some weight to it. Really nice since I don't have to worry about it sliding everywhere when playing games. I got the red switches version of this keyboard and its really great....

Like the other review of this keyboard, i just wished if CM had put the USB port in the center of the keyboard but that's really a personal preference
