This means you must use existing keys (INS, DEL, etc.

But while the BlackWidow TE enables you to create macros and assign them to keys, bear in mind that it doesn’t provide dedicated macro keys. The Quickfire TK feels crisp and responsive and it offers the same satisfying albeit noisy key clicks that my Razer BlackWidow Ultimate does.Īdmittedly while reviewing the Quickfire TK I did miss having extra macro keys or the flexibility to program macros like you can the Razer BlackWidow TE. The Quickfire TK and its clickity-clackity Cherry MX blue switches won me over quickly, which is hardly surprising because I’m a big fan of Cherry MX blue switches. The Quickfire TK with Cherry MX Red switches is backed by red LED lighting, and the model based on Cherry MX Brown switches is backed by white LED lighting. My review unit is backed by Cherry MX Blue switches and comes with blue LED lighting. The Quickfire TK is available in 3 different models, each backed by a different type of mechanical switch and sporting a different colored LED to differentiate them.

In addition to 5 levels of brightness and a ‘breathe’ mode (which are fairly common to back lit keyboards), the Quickfire TK enables you to light only the W-A-S-D and arrow key clusters, or turn off all back lighting except for the FN key and F12 key (which is used with the FN key to disable the Windows key). The cable channels work very well and snugly hold the stiff, braided USB cable in place.Ĭoolermaster even adds some LED frosting to the cake (so to speak) by providing some alternate LED lighting options. The Quickfire TK also has a detachable USB cable and excellent cable channels underneath the keyboard so you can route the cable straight forward from the middle of the keyboard or out the left or right sides. (FN+NUM KEY 7 is the Insert (INS) command, for example.) Similarly, LED brightness controls, LED mode, and media keys are accessed via the FN and F1-F12 keys. The INS, DEL, PRT SCR, and other keys are accessed by pressing the Quickfire TK’s FN key in conjunction with the appropriate number key on the 10-key pad.

But really it’s about the face.Īlthough the Quickfire TK is about an inch wider than either the Quickfire Rapid or Razer TE keyboards, it also has a full 10-key pad. LED back lighting solves that problem, saves my face from getting killed now and again, and even adds a little colorful personality to your gaming environment.

This frequently means getting killed in the face in whatever game I’m playing ( Tribes Ascend, Borderlands 2, etc.) Without back lighting, I’m forced to hunt for the key I need by the ambient light of my monitor. More typically, however, I may need locate a key that I may not use often, such as a macro key, a profile switch key, or something else that lies outside the standard layout of your typical keyboard.

I tend to game in the dark frequently or even exclusively (as do many PC gamers), and being an experienced typist/gamer I still occasionally get my left hand out of position from the W-A-S-D cluster. 1.8m, braided, gold plated, removable USB cableīack lighting (in my opinion) is an essential feature for a gaming keyboard.5 levels and 3 modes of Backlight (Breathing, WASD or full backlight).Cherry MX Blue/ Brown/ Red switches (review unit used blue).The basic feature and specification run-down for the CM Storm Quickfire TK are as follows (courtesy of Coolermaster):
