Technical characteristics
Cooler Master Storm Quick Fire Ultimate
Cooler Master presents the keyboard in a box of compact dimensions, with a sober design, where the color black predominates and an image of the keyboard in full color. In the lower right corner we can find what type of switch we are dealing with. Specifically the Cherry MX Brown. This model is also available in two different switch variants: MX Red (red) and MX Blue (blue).
Once we open the box, we find a protector that prevents the entry of dust or any fingerprint on the keyboard. We also see an area with cardboard where it houses the keyboard accessories.
What is in the box ? Well, inside the bundle we have:
- CM Storm Quick Fire Ultimate keyboard Spanish version. Instruction manual and quick guide. Key extractor.
Although we do not have spare keys, the extractor is great for its maintenance and monthly cleaning.
The keyboard has an ideal size for ergonomics: 31mm (height) x 454mm (length) x 155mm (width) and a weight of 1.38 Kg. Its structure and keys are designed by a layer of steel and quality ABS plastic. The serigraphy is made by laser for a duration (MTBF) of more than 50, 000, 000 keystrokes.
Cooler Master knows that design matters a lot. For this reason, it has integrated a backlight system with red LEDs. In each version we have available white and blue LEDs with five brightness levels and three modalities.
The information gathering frequency is excellent: 1000 Hz / 1ms, therefore we will not have latency while playing. As a good keyboard, Gamer gave us the option to deactivate the Windows key and take advantage of the "NKRO" function via USB so that all the simultaneous combinations of keys are registered.
Includes seven multimedia keys. Be careful, do not confuse with macro keys since it does not incorporate. A point to improve, in a keyboard of this caliber, as well as the incorporation of software for more precise management and personalization.
Now we look at the back without finding any news. Sticker with the model, dual positioning levers for a steeper angle and surface grip stops.
To highlight the length of the USB cable of 1.8 meters. Its connection to the keyboard is via the mini-USB connector and then to the tower via normal USB. As special features it has excellent braiding and the quality of the cable is very good.
Final words and conclusion
Nowadays, the normal user when he thinks of a keyboard, does not think of spending more than € 12 on it. And you do not know the great difference there is in typing on a mechanical keyboard, which is usually around € 100 to € 120. Thanks to the gaming world we have more and more Cherry MX switches in Spain with our layout. Gamer players use these keyboards to increase their dexterity and advantage over opponents in very important lathe. That's why cooler Master has done a great job with the CM Storm Quick Fire Ultimate keyboard: MX Brown switches, aggressive aesthetics, and cozy ergonomics.
WE RECOMMEND YOU Learn how to configure the WDS repeater function on a TP-Link routerTo highlight the NKRO option via USB, its cozy dimensions 454 x 155 x 31 mm and a silk screen printing of each key. How well you dressed!
I have tested the keyboard in various environments from daily work (word, programming, writing articles) to games of various genres (shooter, role-playing, estaregia). I can summarize the experience in: comfort and great precision.
I would have liked the keyboard to incorporate Macros keys and software to manage them. So I think it is focused more on young players. Currently in online stores for an estimated price of € 99, which is worth every penny we invest in it.
In short, if you are looking for a beautiful keyboard, with quality components, backlit, Cherry MX Brown keys and extraordinary sensations. The CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate must be the keyboard of choice.
