After spending some quality time with the QuickFire, I can confidently say that Cooler Master has broken into the top with their first gaming keyboard. It may lack a lot of the bells and whistles of its competitors, such as multicolored lights,...

nice keyboard. Plug and play, etc.

shoddy quality control - considering supposed quality and robustness of keyboard, the "L" key failed literally within 2 weeks of receipt. Appalling considering it's supposed to be a gamers keyboard (i.e. should be able to take a thrashing). Please note...
