#CM STORM QUICKFIRE PRO CODE#
Do check the model code and front cover which has a sticker of which model you’re getting. The one we have here features the Cherry MX Blue switches, again similar to the BlackWidow.
CM Storm offers multiple variants of the QuickFire Rapid featuring the famed Cherry MX switches and its blue, red and black offerings. One thing that’s not really to everyone’s liking is the sound they make. I’ll be very honest, I like mechanical keyboards. The bottom also gives us 3 paths for the cables to run through so the cable can go either left or right or just straight up without snaking around the bottom. It doesn’t add much height to it but gives just the right slant for those wider tables. Here we can see the rise the adjustable feet gives us. Kidding aside, the layout has an upward slant which is reminiscent of the BlackWidow from Razer. That is misleading right there because that button is usually the jump button on most FPS. Notice how they named the space bar QuickFire.
#CM STORM QUICKFIRE PRO WINDOWS#
Keycap replacements for the WASD and Windows keys are included as well as a key puller. The plating is much more noticeable and has an elegant shine to it giving it that extra swagger. Nice touch here.Īnother improvement over its other product is the gold-plating in the USB connectors. One thing that struck me immediately with the detachable USB cable of the Quickfire Rapid is that its braided and of very high quality which contrasts the vanilla rubber cable of the Spawn mouse we recently reviewed. We also see 2 adjustable feet to increase the height of our QuickFire. This is supported in turn by the heft of the keyboard itself which is pretty weighty for its size. Undearneath the keyboard we have rubber feet to stop the keyboard from moving around. The layout is pretty much standard minus the number pad. CLOSER LOOK At first look, the QuickFire Rapid is one very small keyboard. Pretty bare-bones right there but so are other mechanical keyboards. The QuickFire Rapid package includes a manual, replacement keycaps, a keypuller, a USB cable and USB-to-PS/2 adaptor. We’ve recently seen one of their products, the Spawn mice, and we came out satisfied but CM Storm isn’t stopping there and their first venture into the keyboard market, they immediately go after some high-end appeal with the QuickFire Rapid: a mechanical keyboard intended for gamers.ĪDVERTISEMENT PACKAGING Â Coolermaster is looking to extend to this success by expanding its CM Storm franchise.
A while back, CM Storm was but a sub-genre of casings with the Scout and Stealth being so successful products. Does CM Storm have something worth having here or is the quickfire more of a spray and pray? Let’s see and as usual, let’s maked this showy!ĬM Storm is a subsidiary of Coolermaster that focuses on the gaming scene. They’ve recently released their first venture into the keyboard market with the QuickFire Rapid, a compact mechanical keyboard that ditches features for feel. With its recent entry in the gaming peripheral scene, its not surprising that CM Storm would want to establish itself quickly and they have done fairly well so far with their casing and mice line up. Mechanical keyboards are slowly taking over the top spot of the keyboard game with more and more gamers’ preferring to choose a better typing experience than flare and flashy features (ehem Logitech ehem).
