Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard CherryMX Red Switch USB

Pros: The keyboard works great, but...

Cons: ... Cooler Master's "high quality" USB cable doesn't seem to be so great. Mine stopped working, so I tried another cable from a friend's CM Storm keyboard, and it worked, but neither of ours would work from my cable, so Cooler Master sent me a replacement... which also didn't work. So they sent me another replacement... which didn't work a third time. It is definitely not the keyboard as I'm typing on it right now using my friend's USB cable. I guess I'll just RMA the entire keyboard since Cooler Master can master the complexity of a keyboard circuit board but can't seem to make a simple USB cable that works. Also, it would be nice if all the keys were back-lit.

Overall Review: Cooler Master's customer live support is great, but trying to contact them by email I got no response. Be sure to go live support if you need help. They didn't ask a lot of questions too, which I liked. I just want a working cable, but have gotten 3 duds so far, and both times they shipped me a new one - at no cost- without interrogating why I was needing so many cables.

Pros: If you guys think your keyboard is DOA, make sure you push in the mini USB really hard. You'll hear it click. I thought mine was DOA and tried that and it worked.

Cons: Only regional LED is not that good in the dark.

Pros: Cherry MX Red switch is really nice, linear style key presses with no tactile bump or clacks, but requires less force to type than Cherry MX Black.

Cons: Setting up requires some effort - literally - make sure you plug the USB cable right. See below.

Overall Review: Responding specifically to multiple people who said it was DOA -- I think everyone might have had the same problem as me! When I first plugged it in, my Win7 (64bit) reported problems with the USB device and it was classified as an Unknown USB device and won't work. I panicked and scrambled online for drivers and stuff but found nothing. Then I read a couple of reviews here that were helpful, and here is the important part: The micro-USB port on the back of the keyboard -- it needs to be plugged in ALL THE WAY! The most important clue to look for is that there should be NO metal part showing. When I plugged it in the first time, I thought it was all the way in, but there is still some metal part showing. That's why it had a problem. I unplugged it and plugged it again with more force, and it's all the way in with no metal showing. Bam, it works!

Pros: This keyboard was recommend to me by a friend and I love him for that. Pro's The sounds it makes when typing is amazing, makes me feel like a champion within gaming. It is so responsive. Robust. Very easy to use. Amazing lighting. The overall look of it is just great.

Cons: None whatsoever. Maybe if you want to be a real pain you could said its quite heavy? But that shouldnt be a problem.

Overall Review: If you are serious about gaming and want a good keyboard then buy this keyboard, you will not regret it, I repeat you will not regret it. Shoutout to SOGD

Pros: It is a solid mechanical keyboard that is decently priced for a full sized layout. A great price if you get it on sale for 60$. It has rubberized feet on the back which was a nice touch and the cord is of very high quality.

Cons: The partial back lighting's looks nice but in in practice doesn't cover enough keys to help you play at night. The price is good but you can find better deals on higher quality keyboards if you look around. It is manufactured by iONE, which is far from a beacon of quality in the keyboard world, and that lack of quality is noticeable.

Overall Review: While this is not a bad keyboard, I would recommend to anyone reading this to check out other deals and to read reviews and forums before making this purchase

Pros: cherry red switches very unique! red back plate with the red LED makes the keyboard look mad nice. pair it with black case with red LED + red LED mouse, it's the ultimate set up key set up is very nice cool key caps overall awesome

Cons: not the best switches for speed typing I gotta say

Overall Review: people who thinks the keyboard is DOA simply need to make sure the connector is all the way in on the keyboard side. you gotta hear a very solid CLICK. you need to force your way in too, but once its in there, it stays there. give it a couple of seconds to power up through USB too

Pros: I advise you to read the previous reviews. Your cable is probably not plugged in all the way. Its posted on other sites with the same issue. Chances are, the keyboard is fine

Cons: will update at a later date

Pros: Mechanical, n-key rollover, Lights up!

Cons: Wobbly keys, flimsy, noisy, wearing out after 2+ years.

Overall Review: Just after warranty period the backspace key sometimes fails to register - other keys may be functioning the same way. Not sure if it's the switch. Bought this as a replacement for my Rosewill with cherry reds - I like the rosewill a lot better even with the USB port falling off(re-soldering is not hard). At least the rosewill failed within warranty, now I'm wishing it hadn't so I'd still have it instead of this.
