CM Storm Launches QuickFire Pro Gaming Keyboard
Cooler Master, an industry leading chassis, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer, today announces the next incarnation of the extremely popular QuickFire Rapid Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, the QuickFire Pro.
Featuring a smooth and clean aesthetic, QuickFire Pro includes laser-marked keycaps and a non-glossy matte finish. This is complemented by a set of extra keycaps (includes a key puller) that give the keyboard an extra appeal that draws other gamers in. A response time of 1ms, in USB mode, offers gamers a necessary consistency to navigate the ever changing landscapes of their video game libraries. With the Windows Key being disabled in GAME mode, users will no longer worry about possibly losing a match from accidentally minimizing the game.

With N Key Rollover, users deploying the QuickFire Pro in either USB or PS/2 mode can activate many keys on the keyboard simultaneously. Pro gamer themed red LED lighting is present in common game keys such as WASD surrounding gaming cluster.
High-grade Cherry MX Switches

Oh look even has LEDs for people who bang on about they MUST have them.
What I dont understand is why this is a "gaming" KB :confused:
It´s just like a "normal" KB with some aesthetic mod´s, a gaming KB should be like mine:
What makes anything "gamer"? Gamer cases, gamer mice, gamer ram, gamer mouse mats; NO difference to a non gamer branded version, its a marketing term that's all.
MX Blues and MX Browns are excellent keys for typing on. The whole point of mechanical keys is they fatigue less and feel nicer to press, unless you have used one you would never truly understand what they are like to type on. Logitech G15 this supposedly awesome gamer keyboard and it had the mushiest keys ive ever used, so much i went back to my old board before purchasing my Zowie.
trolling much??
I handled the backlighting issue by mounting a 6-LED strip underneath the leading edge of my monitor stand - it shines down on my keyboard and gives just enough ambient glow around it to keep me from getting eyestrain after long gaming sessions. It also helps me find little things laying around on my desk in the dark.
If you want a fully backlit CoolerMaster mechanical gaming keyboard, theres always the CM Storm Trigger - it also has a wristrest!
