Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L technical features

Unboxing and design

Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L comes in a very compact cardboard box to be a full keyboard, something that speaks highly of how the manufacturer has managed to compact to the maximum in design. In the box the color black predominates and gives us valuable information such as the layout, the Cherry MX switches and the advanced RGB LED lighting system configurable in 16.8 million colors. In the back we have more detailed its main features in several languages including Cervantes.

We open the box and the first thing we see is the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L keyboard itself very well protected in a cloth bag, it is a premium product and the manufacturer has put a lot of care to make it reach the end user in the best possible conditions. A detachable USB cable and key extractor are also included.

We take the keyboard out of the protective bag and finally we can see it in all its glory. We are facing a keyboard made of high quality black plastic and with a complete format, so it includes the numeric keyboard, redundancy worth. It is an ideal keyboard for all types of users, including accountants who make very intensive use of the numerical part. Despite being a complete keyboard, its dimensions are very compact, measuring 439.23 x 130.32 x 41.95 mm and weighing 1, 090 grams. Cooler Master has done an excellent job in reducing the frames to a minimum, the only downside is that this prevents the inclusion of an integrated wrist rest, nor do we have a removable one.

We can see that the keyboard has a Spanish key layout so it will be more comfortable for all of us who have to use the "ñ". We thank the manufacturer for sending us the exact same version that our readers will find in stores.

Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L is committed to the best technology available for mechanical keyboards, inside we find the advanced Cherry MX switches that are available in Blue, Red and Brown versions. We have the version with Brown switches that are the most loved by most users. They are off-road mechanisms that are usually the most recommended for their good performance in all scenarios, whether for writing or for playing, they will perfectly fulfill their mission. These mechanisms have an activation stroke of 2 mm and a maximum stroke of 4 mm with an activation force of 45 grams. They are quite soft mechanisms and with a structure that provides us with feedback at the moment the pulsation is registered. The Cherry MX Brown have a 50 million pulsation vidA.

We continue with the characteristics of the keyboard itself and we find a 1000 Hz ultrapolling that translates into a response time of just 1 ms, Anti-Ghosting technology with 26 n-Key Rollover (NKRO), this means that the keyboard It is capable of detecting the simultaneous pressing of up to 26 keys without collapsing, multimedia keys to access the most common controls in a very comfortable way and a gaming mode that will prevent us from accidentally pressing the Windows key.

Lighting is one of the strengths of the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L, for this the manufacturer's team of engineers has mounted large LEDs and used a PCB with small cutouts placed strategically to allow the passage of a large amount of light. This means that we have a RGB LED system configurable in 16.8 million colors with a much more powerful light intensity than the rest of the alternatives on the market.

In the back we find two folding plastic legs that allow us to slightly lift the keyboard for greater comfort of use. We also see the Micro-USB connector to connect the detachable cable, a design that will make the keyboard easier to carry. Its braided cable has a length of 1.5 meters and at the end we find a gold-plated USB connector to improve contact and protect it from wear.

Masterkeys Pro L software

Software is always a differentiating point in high peripherals and a manufacturer of the stature of Cooler Master cannot be left behind. The Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L has its own software tool that we can download from the manufacturer's official website. As usual, the keyboard can be used without installing the software, although we strongly recommend doing so in order to take advantage of all its virtues. Once the application is installed we open it and it will invite us to update the firmware of the keyboard, we simply have to accept and not disconnect it during the process.

Once we open the application we see that it allows us to create up to four different profiles, with this we can have the keyboard always ready for several different scenarios. The first section is dedicated to the keyboard's RGB LED lighting system, from here we can configure the different colors as well as the light effects and their intensity. It also offers us a custom mode in which we can configure each key individually.

The second section will allow us to manage the different profiles that we have created. We can export them from the keyboard to the PC hard drive and vice versa

The keyboard has a very careful design and is very pleasant to use despite the absence of a wrist rest, although it would have been nice to include a detachable one.
