Introduction

CM Storm's original Quick Fire gaming keyboard was an instant hit, and building upon that momentum CM Storm have now released a full sized gaming keyboard which adds a numpad and back lighting, compared to the ten-key-less original Quick Fire. The Quick Fire Pro takes its design cues from the original Quick Fire and is built like a tank and unsurprisingly has all the same features as the original plus partial backlighting and user selectable switches. The Quick Fire Pro will be available with all the switch mechanisms from the Cherry MX line which is great.

Specifications

• Available with different Cherry MX key mechanisms

The Package

The CM Storm Quick Fire Pro arrived in a box clad in the black / red color scheme that is on all CM Storm products.


CM Storm has adopted the idea of a removable cable for their entire lineup of high end gaming keyboards. The implementation on the Quick Fire Pro is better than on the Trigger because the cable entry is in the center of the board which is a much more protected area than at the upper right corner like on the Trigger. It is, however, a bit tricky to install and remove the cable because the plug is located so close to the back plate of the keyboard.


You also get a small key cap remover which is nice if you ever need to clean out the keyboard. CM Storm does not supply any spare keys like we have seen with the recent QPAD MK-series keyboards.
