In my experience running through the setting none of them hindered my experience in what I play. Having an adjustable polling rate may give you an advantage if you are very fast on the keys. As it takes a bit more force to activate the browns than the reds took and that bump is almost a safety net of sorts, as it takes just a bit more pressure to get the key through the "bump" in its travel to activation.Īs far as the rest of the features go, they are cool to have, but some I just don't see the difference unless specifically testing them to see the speed or see how many keys sow up in notepad when I mashed the keys. This I think has some bearing on the fact that I am not hitting multiple keys at once. There is a feel-able "bump" in the key travel midway down. I found the Cherry MX Brown switches do have a better "feel" to them than the red's I started using in my reviews.

Using the QuickFire Pro mechanical gaming keyboard for a couple of weeks and writing a few reviews with it, I do find myself not hitting multiple keys as much on the CM Storm as I did then, but that also may be attributed to a month or so of me getting used to mechanical keyboards in general. It then shows which keys are illuminated on the QuickFire Pro in each of the three lit options. On the right it shows the LED controls for the two modes I showed you, a third mode that allows a "breathing" pulsing of the lights intensity and the ability to change the brightness in four levels when in the first two lighting modes.

Inside, on the left panel, things like the warranty, advanced functionality, multimedia keys, Windows lock, switching NKRO modes and polling rates. For the purposes of comparing this to the others I have seen, I am going to split the pile and go with a pricing of around $110 as the reference price. Buyers definitely beware when looking for this keyboard it seems the frugal shopper can save quite a bit of money if you do a bit of comparing. The lowest of the group was a $92.83 listing, while at the other end of the spectrum you can see listings very near $130. Looking around I see that pricing is sort of all over the place for the forty or so hits that come up in a Google search. You will also find that the board offers three routing choices for this cable to leave your workspace clean and as wire contained as possible.

I have read that you should only use this cord as others will not allow full functionality, or you can type, but don't have lights - that sort of issue. Underneath, near the product sticker is where you can attach the full speed USB 2.0 cable that CM provides. The chunky plastic housing is 454mm from left to right 155mm from front to back and from the desk to the top of the spacebar is 31mm in height and gets slightly taller as you go to the back of the QuickFire Pro. The QuickFire Pro is a thick keyboard and it elevated a bit more that what I am typically used to for use. The board offers a Windows Lockout under the F12 key and offers multimedia functionality with use of the function lock key. A third mode allows for a breathing mode of the second set of illuminated keys and of course, you can turn them all off as well. A second mode illuminates twenty-one keys and the space bar, along with the arrow keys and logo. The QuickFire Pro has options on lighting - in one mode you have W, A, S, D, the arrow keys and the CM Storm logo lit. You also get 1000 Hertz or 1 millisecond polling rate, so there should be no lag between you pressing the key or keys and them registering to the computer. The keyboard also offers full N-Key Rollover, in basic terms this means if you press multiple keys at the same time, they all register. When I was asked about looking at this keyboard, I don't recall a discussion of the keys, but none the less, the version I received came with Cherry MX Brown switches that have a force feedback "bump" in the travel and have medium resistance to initial pressure.

While it does state there will be some regional dispersal of specific key sets, it shows that the QuickFire Pro can be had with Cherry MX Black, Blue, Brown or Red switches to accommodate for users particular preference to the way the keys react. As you can see right away with the specs chart above there are four models of this keyboard being offered.
