So that pretty much wraps up this section. The accessories include six extra keys – red arrow keys to replace the WASD keys, further appealing to gamers, as well as two Cooler Master keys to replace the default CTRL keys, and a keycap puller. Inside you’ll find the keyboard inside of a foam bag (removed in this picture), and accessories.

Anyway the box has nice art on it as well as full specifications on the back. As for the Brown and Black switch models, you’ll have to order overseas for them. The Cherry MX Blue version can be found at various retailers. I ordered it from the Cooler Master Store, since the red switch model is listed as a CM Store exclusive item. With the specifications out of the way, it is time to examine the packaging of the QuickFire Rapid. However, that Leopold doesn’t come with the extra keys, keycap puller, or one particular feature I love about the QuickFire Rapid which you’ll see later. I found one very similar Leopold for the same price – it too has a detachable USB cable, no numberpad, PS/2 and USB support, and Cherry MX Red switches. The MSRP is lower than most mechanical keyboards due to the lack of a numberpad. In fact, it is much heavier than the Logitech G11 its replacing which is much larger. Despite the compact size, the weight is quite high.

This is a wise choice for a gaming keyboard, and if you want one with a numberpad, you should wait for the upcoming QuickFire Pro or Trigger. The dimensions indicate this is a compact keyboard, and this is because of the omission of a numberpad. Six extra keys come with the keyboard as well as a keycap puller which comes in handy especially for cleaning. PS/2 interface also can’t be delayed due to other devices.

It also has a detachable USB cable (mini-USB on the keyboard, full size or PS/2 on the other end). In USB mode, you only have 6KRO or 6 key rollover (with this particular model at least, I’ve seen some USB keyboards have around 20KRO). PS/2 is superior to USB for a few reasons: the first being that it supports NKRO or N key as listed above, which allows all keys to be pressed at once and they’ll all go through. Cooler Master really knows about versatility and I’m glad that they continued the trend. Excellent! This reminds me of their Sirus headset which comes with both 3.5mm jacks and USB cables.

Notice how the QuickFire Rapid comes with both USB and PS2 interface compatibility. Now lets take a closer look at the keyboard itself. They also reduce fatigue, as the actuation point is not all the way at the bottom. Mechanical switches are also far more reliable and there is a large variety of them with a different feel for each. Normal keyboards have a mushy feel and quite simply, once you use a mechanical keyboard, you won’t want to turn back. But to put it in a nutshell, the main benefits to a mechanical keyboard are a much better feel.
For more information on mechanical keyboards, see this guide. This switch model appeals to gamers since it has no tactile bump or click, and low actuation force for faster double tapping and easier response.
So today we’re looking at the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard, namely the Cherry MX Red switch model. After waiting months for it to arrive in America, I was finally able to purchase one for review and my personal use. Back in October, we saw the announcement of Cooler Master’s first mechanical keyboard, the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid.
