Review: cooler master cm storm quickfire pro

The world of Gaming peripherals has evolved significantly in the last two years. And it is that the mechanical keyboards are taking a lot of prominence… Cooler Master knows this very well and presents the Cooler Master Storm QuickFire PRO RED with Cherry Red switches. Very attentive to our analysis because it has no waste.

Inner protection is excellent. As we can see the keyboard comes with a cover and the wiring comes separately in a box.

The bundle includes:

• Cooler Master CM Storm Quickfire Pro keyboard USB cable Instruction manual Key extractor

The USB cable is shielded and meshed. Also, the connector is gold plated.

The keyboard has great style and the red background at the base of the keyboard adds an elegant touch. We can define the keyboard as minimalist, collected and with an excellent quality in its finishes.

As we have seen in previous images, it includes function keys, windows key lock and the excellent Cherry MX Red switches along with NKRO technology to press several keys at the same time.

Finally, we see the CM STORM series on the back of the screen-printed keyboard.

The keyboard allows us two positions: 100% flat or with an inclination of 45ºC approx.

As we have previously seen, the keyboard brings us a shielded USB cable and its connection is gold plated. This cable allows us to connect to the equipment. In the following image we can see its connector plug:

The keyboard allows us up to 3 lighting modes. The effect is incredible, one of the best we have played. Only his older brother CM Storm Quickfire TK beats him.

The Cooler Master CM Storm Quickfire Pro is a red backlit keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches. These switches are specially designed for gaming: FPS, MMO and RTS. This does not mean that it only works for these games, but they are ideal because halfway through the tour you already press. Another of the advantages that it incorporates is the NKRO technology, which allows us to press all the keys at the same time, without having latency. The incorporation of a switch extractor is very interesting for cleaning. We also liked that we do not need software to configure the keyboard, since it incorporates a wide variety of very useful functions.

All in all, the Quickfire Pro keyboard has excellent build quality and high-end details. Currently we can find it in stores for € 87. We consider it to be a suitable price for the characteristics of the keyboard.
