The packaging by Cooler Master is quite aggressive with red / black colors. At the top we see an image of the keyboard and the cherry red switch. The back is described in full with all the features and specifications.

Although the case is small, the keyboard fits perfectly, in addition, it is protected by a small bag that blocks the entry of dust.

The keyboard has dimensions of 37.7 by 13.8 and 3.3 cm. As we can see are the measurements of a standard keyboard, only that it does not include a wrist rest. Its weight of 544 grams makes it a lightweight keyboard. As an annotation, if we put the legs extended it reaches 44 mm in height.

The keyboard design can be defined as minimalist, collected and with a quality in its components that few keyboards can say the same.

It includes function keyboards, windows key lock and the prestigious Cherry MX Red switches along with NKRO technology to press several keys at the same time.

The keyboard comes equipped with a usb cable that allows power (from the backlit keys) and connection to our computer. This is very important because keyboards that include LEDs usually need two USB connections.

As we have previously commented, the keyboard has a paste that reaches 44 mm in height, it also includes 4 rubber pads. The USB cable is perfectly meshed and shielded.

The keyboard is backlit in red. Here you can see how it looks:

The keyboard has up to 3 power modes: full keyboard, WASD keys only, and full but with less flash light.

Cooler Master during 2012 has developed great keyboards with its CM STORM gaming series. This time we have had its mechanical Quick Fire TK keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches, backlit, with NKR0 functions and very compact measures.

In our tests we have found that the keyboard is ideal for all types of games. But it could be more focused on the line of MMO, FPS or RTS since its low lantecia gives us a plus when we play.

Another aspect that we liked is that we do not need software, since the keyboard with the function key allows us to do everything. In addition, it comes with a small key extractor to be able to calmly and thoroughly clean the keyboard.

The keyboard has a medium / high price of € 81.90 which we consider adequate for the quality of its construction and high-end details. Currently in online stores.
