The CM Storm QuickFire TK is currently on sale on Newegg for a price of $89.99. Overall, we found the keyboard to be solidly build, simple in its design (partially due to the fact that it is completely plug and play), and especially well thought out for a keyboard in its compact size class. However, this is not the case, as we mentioned above: the QuickFire TK is available with MX Blue, Brown, or Red switches, so users can choose the switch type most useful and comfortable to them. Since the QuickFire TK is marketed as a compact gaming keyboard that is especially useful for LAN parties, many might see this as a shortcoming. However, as we described in our review of the Logitech G710+, while MX Blue switches are considered optimal for typing, many gamers find them to be lacking, though this is entirely a matter of personal preference as many gamers also enthusiastically use and recommend MX Blue switches. The MX Blue switches provide an excellent typing experience. For a QuickFire TK with MX Red switches, the lighting would be red, and for one with MX Brown switches, the lighting would be white. Since we have MX Blue mechanical switches, the lighting on our keyboard is blue. It also had five brightness settings, as well as a key to turn off the lighting completely. The keyboard has three modes: On, Pulse, and WASD on. The FN key also allows the user to manipulate the keyboard?s backlighting modes.
QUICKFIRE TK BLUE WINDOWS
It also allows the user to lock the Windows key, and lower or increase system volume, as well as mute it with one keystroke. The FN key allows the user to Pause/Play, Stop, Rewind/Step Back, and Fast Forward/Step Forward in all media applications we encountered. The QuickFire TK also has a range of media keys available on the F keys through the use of the FN key that sits between the Windows key and Ctrl key on the right side of the keyboard (taking the place of the Menu key found on many keyboards). We found this to be an ingenious design, and appreciated both the functionality and simplicity of the mechanism. The way to switch between the two modes is by simply using the Num Lock key.
QUICKFIRE TK BLUE PLUS
The way Cooler Master achieved this was by having a hybrid num pad that doubles as both a num pad and as the arrow keys plus Insert, Home, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, End, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause. However, it has approximately the same dimensions as a Tenkeyless keyboard.
QUICKFIRE TK BLUE FULL
The QuickFire TK has a sturdy and somewhat dense/heavy feel to it, though it is much smaller than a full sized keyboard. It also has two rubber coated foldable feet to adjust the angle of the keyboard on a desk. The keyboard also uses a heavy duty braided USB cable with optional routing along the bottom of the keyboard. The ABS plastic keys with grip coating provide a nice, comfortable feel.
