To access this though you need to press three keys really, the Function Key, the 6 or N and then the Escape key to activate the modes. The Escape Key is for Escape but also to set the keyboard into a rollover mode which can be NKRO or 6KRO. Let’s take a look at the actual keyboard, we’ll start across the top with the Function keys which do double duty actually. The back of the keyboard has the CM Storm logo on it and not much else. It does feel very solidly made, so I guess the weight does count for something. The QuickFire TK is small in size measuring only 14.9(L)*5.4(W)*1.3(H)inch but it’s heavy for it’s size coming in at 1.2lbs.

The keyboard is keyboard is black in color with what looks like white lettering or markings on the keys, but it’s really more translucent to let the backlighting through. Not much comes with the keyboard, just a braided style USB cable and a ring style key puller. When you open the box you’ll see the keyboard wrapped in a thin layer of styrofoam for protection. A white box is just fine though, it works. The CM Storm QuickFire TK came in just a white box, I don’t think this is the actual product packaging but I could be wrong. So read on to learn more about the other features of this great mechanical keyboard and see what I think about it… The blue keys that I got with this QuickFire TK are the the very clicky ones and offer a lot of tactile feedback while typing, this is something that I personally prefer, you may not so that’s why Cooler Master gives you a choice. The QuickFire TK also features LED backlighting that mostly matches the type of keys you selected, blue for blue, red for red but you get white backlighting if you select Cherry MX Brown keys. It’s a mechanical keyboard but Cooler Master gives you a choice when it comes to what type of keys you want or prefer, you can get Cherry MX Blue, Red or even Brown and for my review they sent over the Blue version. Cooler Master has recently introduced the CM Storm QuickFire TK mechanical keyboard which is a compact gaming keyboard with backlighting and a few other features.
