Am currently using a Razer Blackwidow Stealth TE (non-backlit) and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Cooler Master's MasterKeys Pro S, a TKL keyboard. Any feedback/input on the Cooler Master keyboards?

MasterKeys Pro L will release first, no news for those tho. Just waiting.
Cooler Master is a community-friendly brand, what we need, they do it for us.
We want Topre, they make Novatouch, we want affordable TKL, they make rapid-i.
Well, it's a good brands.
I tested a lot of their keyboards, and my store most pictures are taken using their keyboards. 1-2 keyboards can fit everything.
Very friendly.  icon_idea.gif

Darn, I guess it will be a bit longer to wait for the S, which I prefer because TKL looks much neater

I like the minimal design that they employ to their keyboards.

The cm keyboards does their job well. I'm currently using a novatouch. It's not the best topre (hhkb bias here lol) that's I've tried but with that price point there's just no complaints about it, with mx compatibility

Agreed, I like their minimalist design too. Was considering the Quick Fire Rapid-i when I came across the news about the MasterKeys Pro

Well, I guess I've more or less made up my mind to hold out for the CM MasterKeys Pro S though it has been suggested to consider the CM Quickfire Rapid-I. Any thoughts?

Simple question, you want RGB or simple white LED ?
RGB: MasterKeys Pro S
White LED Backlit: Rapid-i

I would prefer RGB since there will be options for how the lighting can be configured for the keys. Just white is fine too. Again, it won't be a deal breaker. Just hope the wait won't be too long. Brown switch is the way for me as it will be a mix of work and play. Don't like the clicky Blue, Red feels too "heavy", Romer-G feels, don't know how to describe it better, unreal. Don't recall how a Topre feels but generally Topre switches are 45g, which would be great for work I suppose.

Interesting article. Vindicates my choice for going with Brown. Form factor wise, would love a 60% but I use the F-keys regularly for work and play so, TKL for me! No overly funky design either. Plain and simple suits me fine.

Guess I have to spell out what I meant..... the RED feels "heavier" compared to the BROWN. Hence, I prefer the BROWN

Came across Armageddon MKA-5R RGB-Hornet TKL Keyboard while window shopping. Design wise, looks simple with a brushed aluminium top enclosure.

I pulled the trigger and got myself a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i. After a thorough molesting of RED and BROWN switches, I agree and stand corrected (as some of you had pointed out earlier), RED is not as "heavy" compared to BROWN. And so, I am a proud owner of my first Cherry MX MKB with RED switch. Am quite happy with it as it has a smaller footprint compared to my outgoing Razer Blackwidow Tournament Stealh Edition (1 cm narrower and shallower).

As you can see, I picked up the red WASD keycaps too.

Well, that is the thing when trying out keyboard at shops. We wont get into a typing posture, but standing all the time. All the keys barely felt any different when you tried it while standing. You can only feel it when you rest your palm on the desk and then just press the key with just your fingers.

At first, I thought I wanted to stand out, like with the clicky keys. I almost bought a gigabyte mechanical with mx blue but the staff recommend the cm storm trigger with mx brown. Although I did miss the clicky sound but one thing for sure is that linear keys are smoother and dont have tactile bump. Although they said mx brown had the tactile bump, but it was really light that I would miss it 95% of the time. Now that I have the red, its even smoother than the brown.

Personally, no matter which switch you buy, I think you will be happier with it than membrane keyboard. Its just so hard to get used to other keyboard once you get used to it already.

Customising your keycaps will be the next addiction

TKL?

TKL or Ten Key Less, also called 80% keyboard. A full sized keyboard is 100%. A TKL is essentially minus the number pad. 60/65% keyboards are even smaller, eg Vortex Pok3r

EDIT : Gives you a better idea:

lol i google "tkl keyboard" and that cm came up twice on top, i thought it was just a brand/model

oh cheers, i need full size, i frequently use the numpad.

As I am used to working from a notebook, I'm accustomed to not having a numpad. Hence, I use a TKL with my home desktop, less clutter.

That's why I ordered tiga biji. Not like I can use all 3 right? When I get them, I will make available 2 for sale. My cost for the 3 biji with shipping works out to RM148.55. So, its about RM50 a piece + a teh Tarik would be nice

CNC case for Novatouch - something I've been saving up for.

The maker is also testing it to see if it can fit the QFR-i.
