Moreover, in case of Quick Fire TK you can use Num Pad as Navigation or Command keys, while other keyboards offering Navigation keys only. This problem is not related to QuickFire TK - it’s actual for all compact keyboards.

After short period I started using digits from top row and switching to Num Pad only in case of inserting big number of data. In case of working with QuickFire TK you need to check the current Num Pad’s mode every time.

In the beginning, it was a little bit hard for me to switch from full size keyboard to compact one, because I have a habit to insert any digits from Num Pad even if it’s one or two digits. You can easily clean or replace the keys if you wish too. It’s a destiny of all mechanical keyboards due to used technology.

You are free to connect cable from middle, left or right side. There are bunch of advantages of detachable cable and I can’t find any single pros for embedded one.Ĭable management is implemented too. Wonder why other manufacturers keep embedding cable inside the keyboard. Two stands available for those who prefer using the keyboard with the angle.Īs for all CM Storm’s keyboards cable is detachable.

Size of those zones is not big, but due to weight of the keyboard, it is not sliding at all. Overall, despite to the size of the keyboard, Quick Fire TK has pretty big number of additional functionalities.īackside of the Quick Fire TK has 4 non-slide zones. Second option of F-Keys could be activated by pressing FN key simultaneously.ĮSC key is responsible for switching the rollover modes with F1-F4 you can turn on/off backlight, increase/decrease backlight’es brightness and change its mode F5-F11 for controling media and sound F12 for turning On/Off Win key. Well, all those inserting a lot of digits should be happy with such solution.Īll keys on top row have double functionality. Usually “0” has double size on keyboards with dedicated Num Pad, but for having “normal” arrows on bottom, engineers of QuickFire TK keyboard made it with normal size with adding “00”. You can switch between them by pressing Num Lock key. Great idea of CM Storm to make an integrated Num Pad with navigation and command keys. It’s matte, solid and looks very serious. Inside the box there are QuickFire TK, keycap puller, cable and Quick Guide.ĭesign impressed me from the very beginning. Main features are described with pictures and more explanations.Īs mentioned above, box is almost of the same size as keyboard. On backside all features are provided in 9 languages.

Sticker in front of the box informs which type of switcher has particular keyboard. QuickFire TK available in the market with blue, brown and red Cherry MX switches. Box has almost the same size as keyboard.

Let’s start from the official commercial movie: I planned to ask from CM Storm the keyboard Quick Fire Rapid for review, but received a new and improved model QuickFire TK which has backlight, integrated Num Pad with navigation and command keys, NKRO in USB mode, etc. We already reviewed one of them - CM Storm Trigger. I had a wish to try small mechanical keyboard just to feel the difference.ĬM Storm, which is a gaming division of world-known company Cooler Master, offers probably the widest range of mechanical keyboards. My current keyboard is big with bunch of additional macro keys, dedicated media keys and non detachable wrist rest.
