Packaging

The CoolerMaster Storm QuickFire Pro comes packaged in a black and red box, following the colour scheme of their ‘Storm’ range of products. The front of the box has a large image of the keyboard, emblazoned in glowing red. This side also proudly displays that the product is hailed as a ‘Mechanical Gaming Keyboard’, erstwhile the rear sports close up images of the Cherry MX style keys and other features.

   

Upon opening the box, we are greeted with a similar internal layout, as present with the ‘Rapid’ version of this product.

Unlike the previous incarnation, this model does not include extra keys in order to promote  ’Gaming Key’ Functions.  The ‘Rapid’ version of this product had the aforementioned keys, however we feel that Coolermaster should still have included these for those whom are avid gamers. There is however a Key Pulling tool, which comes in handy when one wishes to clean the keyboard from dropped bread and biscuit crumbs.

Let us now move on to the keyboard layout itself.
