CM Storm QuickFire TK - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Red Switches and Fully Backlit

Pros: nice texture on keys. nice key response, brown switches. good compact size, easy to get used to. function key\s arrangement seems pretty intuitive. cool led lighting options. type faster than ever, fewer typos.

Cons: leds are a little bright

Overall Review: works great for gaming, less keystroke mistakes. very compact size, have more than enough room for the mouse on my keyboard tray now

Pros: everything. here is a list 1. mechanical 2. led back-lit 3. the lighting of the keyboard is evenly distributed 4. tenkey-less but yet has all the functions of a full size keyboard 5.weight is awesome (its a sturdy keyboard) 6. the price for this keyboard is outstanding 7.build quality is outstanding as well

Cons: none at all

Overall Review: This is my first mechanical that I've owned. All my friends own a mechanical from blacks to blues and i found blues the most comfortable for me. I'm a gamer but i also type a lot for school papers. That's the thing i like about blues because you can game and you can type as well and the click noise isn't even all that loud. Maybe its because i got used to my friends blue switch keyboard. Switching from a membrane keyboard to a blue switch keyboard might be a little annoying at first but you get used to it.

Pros: Great solid feel, a lot better made than my previous rapids, I was fortunate enough to receive mines pre-release.

Cons: I wish CM included customizable LED options, but they said they wanted to aim for no complications of software issues on this model.

Pros: - This keyboard has amazing Cherry MX Blue Switches and it feels amazing to type with it - If you type or game at night, the backlighting on this keyboard is amazing - This keyboard is very compact and I can take it with me anywhere I want to, while fitting into a backpack

Cons: - The arrow keys are actually part of the numpad, which requires me to switch from num lock and no num lock, but I can understand that this was so that the keyboard was compact and could be taken anywhere.

Pros: This is my first mechanical keyboard so I am not comparing it to anything. First off it feels really good and crisp while typing. The cherry blue switches have a great feel and sound to them. build quality is outstanding and it can be seen as well as felt when using. Keyboard has a nice weight to it and feel very solid. does not move at all when using (rubber feet on the bottom). Glad to see I am able to disable the Windows button. Keyboard glows great. back plate being the same color as the leds really adds a nice touch.

Cons: More of a wish list instead of cons. 1. wish instead of just the movement keys that I would be able to custom pick which keys light up for gaming. 2. wish keyboard would signal when hitting 6/N to tell activation.

Overall Review: Really liking this keyboard. Have to get use to the number pad/ del / end... etc keys together but so far not really slowing me down. all in all happy with my purchase and would recommend to others.

Pros: -Well made construction -Well lite back light with option to change brightness -Nice small gives space on desk -Sexy sounding clicky cherry mx blues

Cons: -Had to RMA due to the "A" key not clicking or having a tactical feel -On the num pad the 2 key's LED was placed upside down witch made it so you cant see the led light illuminate it

Overall Review: If did not have to RMA the product due to the 2 errors then it would be a five star product. I normally do not review a product after only 3 hours of use. But from what i have experienced. It is a vary nice, Small, Clicky and sexy product. It is worth you money provided that it has no errors with it.

Pros: Cherry MX Brown Switches White LED to match that color scheme White backing behind keys to enhance lighting effect Nice bright LEDs with available pulsing lighting effect Numpad! On a compact size keyboard Impeccable build quality

Cons: Arrow keys are within numpad. This might be detrimental to some I personally would have preferred a different font on the keycaps, but this is the CM Storm signature font for their keyboards.

Overall Review: I have been waiting for the Quickfire TK - Cherry MX Brown w/ White LED version - to come in stock for weeks. From Newegg to Best Buy to B&H, this keyboard has been backordered for SO long. I would not settle with any other keyboard. Why? Because this is the only keyboard in the market that has the small form factor of the CM Storm Quickfire line as well as a numpad. I absolutely needed a numpad for daily use, but seeing as this keyboard was unavailable for so long, I was so close to settling with the newer Quickfire Rapid-I (which is a tenkeyless keyboard with flashy lighting effects). Thus, when I finally saw it available on Newegg two days ago, I was so excited. And my expectations when I received it were high. My other desktop arrangement at home features a Corsair Vengeance K70 Cherry MX Red with Red Backlight Keyboard. I like the seamless light feeling of the Cherry MX Reds, but for my dorm room setup (which is why I purchased the Quickfire TK) I was eager to try a new switch. I can 100% with confidence say that now I prefer the Cherry MX Browns. The Brown switches don't have a loud clack so they won't wake your roommate, girlfriend, or parents. They feel awesome with the subtle feedback when hitting the actuation point. The Quickfire TK has amazing build quality in that it feels heavy and substantial. The keycaps are great, and the backlighting is fantastic. The levels range from just right to really bright, and I love the pulsing light mode that matches my Steelseries Sensei mouse LED. I am sure the CM Storm line of mechanical keyboards all stick to this quality. If you are in the market for a mechanical keyboard go for a CM Storm keyboard. You won't be disappointed. If you are in the market for a compact size, numpad featuring, LED backlit keyboard - then the Quickfire TK is where it's at. There are multiple options when it comes to backlighting and switches, so check it out!

Pros: Nice narrow keyboard - no more bumping into the numpad keys with the mouse. Very nice looking blue led keys, several led modes, very durable feeling, nice braided detachable cord. Fits excellent in a desk with a wrist/hand rest already on the pull out tray (or where you would generally put the keyboard.)

Cons: Very loud and clacky sounding/feeling, kind of feels like typing on a typewriter- that's just the cherry MX blue switch though I presume. It's also very thick, the top of the keys to the bottom of the keyboard is about 1 inch - not very comfortable using this on a flat table without a wrist rest of some sort.

Overall Review: I ended up modding the keyboard by removing each key and placing an o-ring on the bottom, (there are tutorials on Youtube of this) and it's significantly nicer feeling to type on and sounds slightly quieter.
