Consumer review (newegg.com)

Works OK, but lacks quality.

If I had been able to see this product in person in a store, I would not have bought it. It fulfills the basic functions of a keyboard well enough, but the cons show a lack of attention to detail by the manufacturer. I will keep it for now because it's...

- Solid keyboard; good weight and feet so it stays put. - Nice and clicky as a mechanical keyboard should be. - Readable with backlight off. - Sits relatively high with the feet extended, somewhat like an old school IBM keyboard. - Windows keys can be...

- Didn't come with directions for how to work the backlight and such; had to google them. - The backlight is composed of single LED's in each key, which don't fully light keys with multiple symbols. - The switch/LED for the F12 key on mine came mounted...

Solid value for the price

It's a solid keyboard at an excellent price point. Most competitor keyboards with full LED were 10-20 USD more expensive at the time of purchase, and the non-LED version from CM (the Quickfire XT) is only about 5 USD cheaper. I've had it about 9 months...

It seems quite durable and has a good weight to it. Keys seem responsive and sound just as MX Blues are supposed to. Haven't noticed any weardown on the keys surfaces or switches. Cord is something like 4-6 feet which is great. My previous cheapo...

Manual is basically useless--the only instructions on mine were in Italian, everything else was just feature descriptions. It almost doesn't matter, though--you'll have to mess around a bit to figure out the LED controls and everything else is...

Worked good for the time being, just until this week.

Cant say i will be looking at cooler master product for a while.

It was defiantly an upgrade from a k120. the keys had a nice response and i have always had some appreciation for cooler master.

Well it stopped working, it shuts my computer off before it even boots up and cause all kinds of issues. also you cannot type once you can get it to boot up, so i guess it will just look pretty while my Logitech k120 does a better job.

Great Keyboard

Had no idea what the difference was between the Cherry MX switches until after I bought the blue. Even so it's a lot of fun to type with and I'm sure it will be fine for gaming. Every CoolerMaster product I own has been great. I'll continue to purchase...

-Nice and solid build quality. -The keys are so much fun to press. -The price was very reasonable compared to other mechanical gaming keyboards out there.

-A bit heavy due to the steel plate. Some might see this as a pro, not really a big deal. -Some of FN the settings are a bit confusing and some I think aren't even mentioned in the manual. -The LED backlight has some white noise when not at max...

Very Satisfied!

Only thing I would change is adding the ability to customize the color of the keyboard lighting.

- Durable Construction - Different Light Modes (WASD or full keyboard lit and brightness) - Very Responsive - Easy to Use - The sound of the keys makes me smile :)

- None so far!

Inexpensive, works great

Not too pricey, it's mechanical. In this case, I bought it for a friend. I just asked him about it today to let me know how it was working. He is very happy with it. It's worked flawless except for one problem which I'll list below.

It uses a mini or micro plug to plug the cord into the underside of the key board. Now, at least it is somewhat protected under there and not just hanging off the back, but my friend is using this keyboard still had it unplug on him there once. When...
