    Cooler Master Storm QuickFire XTi is a stable, high-quality and price-performance keyboard for all those who do not need macro keys and the LED colour space blue to red is sufficient.

    *Update November/2018* - It is now almost three years since I bought the keyboard. I am still very satisfied and have no faults with the keyboard. In that time, I even managed to pour a beer and a coke over it - the keyboard was practical to clean (keys can be removed easily) - and was able to use the keyboard as usual afterwards, still no defects apparent.

    Cooler Master Storm QuickFire XTE is a stable, high-quality and value-for-money keyboard for all those who don't need macro keys and the LED colour space blue to red is sufficient.

    I have owned this keyboard for 4 months now and am very satisfied. Before that I used a Razer Black Widow (Green/Blue switches) - I was not convinced of its quality.

    In short, this keyboard is very similar to the current LG Mech. Keyboard series, but without full RGB lighting, no unnecessary drivers and a replaceable cable.

    I was quite impressed with this driverless keyboard. High-quality manufacturing, is stable, offers a replaceable connection cable and MX Brown switches.

    The only possible drawbacks would be the lack of proper macro keys (the existing ones are poorly located and more suitable for functions like volume +-) and the lighting, which only shares the blue to red colour spectrum. But these only apply if you need macro keys or absolutely want RGB lighting :D

    I don't need macro keys and only the colours red and blue, so the keyboard meets my expectations.

    The advantage of the driverless keyboard is noticeable when you set up a new operating system or use the keyboard with a different OS. Since it is a standard keyboard driver, it works including the illumination in every case! - Partly I also shine with better performance (small input delay), because the keyboard does not have to flit through the utilities settings when you press an input. =)

    I also like it when I don't have the total driver chaos like with a Steelseries, Razer or Roccat product ;-)
