Cooler Master has released a new line of mechanical gaming keyboard, the CM Storm QuickFire TK. If you have read the review I posted before, regarding the CM Storm Trigger and QuickFire Rapid, the QuickFire TK is someone in between. It's also a compact keyboard but is fully backlit. The lights comes in three different colors depending on the Cherry MX Switch. Blue for Cherry MX Blue, White for Cherry MX Brown, and Red for Cherry MX Red.
However the QuickFire TK doesn't have a dedicated arrow keys. Instead it is integrated directly on the numerical keypads. The design is similar to that of the QuickFire Pro. Unfortuantely the QuickFire Pro (IMHO) didn't became that popular. Perhaps that is one of the reason why CM created the QuickFire TK.
The QuickFire TK also features 7 multimedia shortcuts located in the function keys, a win-lock key, and a function key lock. It has NKRO via USB, and the keys are laser etched like in the CM Storm Trigger, and are embedded with steel plate for maximum stability. Like it’s predecessors, it also has a detachable braided USB cable with a three-way cable management path.
