CM Storm QuickFire TK Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

At just 377.5mm in width and 138mm deep, the CM Storm QuickFire TK's compact dimensions make it a good choice for users with small or crowded desks.

An almost border-less design helps the QuickFire TK maintain its concise form factor. The all-black appearance and unique key font helps to enhance the ‘gamer-feel' created by CM Storm.

Coated with an ABS, grip-enhancing coating, each key has a premium-feel that has been achieved without sacrificing the stability of gamers' fingers.

The main input section of CM Storm's QuickFire TK is a standard QWERTY set of keys with some additional lettering enhancements intended for European and non-English speaking users. It's always pleasing to see a keyboard utilise a full-size space bar and dual Windows keys.

Toggled via a locking or unlocking key, each of the 12 function buttons doubles-up as a configuration input. Keys F1 to F4 control the LED backlight system's brightness levels and mode. Media inputs are a task for keys F5 to F11. The F12 key has the ability to lock the input function of each Windows key, helping to avoid unintentional disruptions during gaming.

The dual-purpose number pad is used to control page-selection and on-screen functions such as movement arrows, page down, home and delete. Pressing the NUMLK key allows users to switch between number and general usage inputs, as indicated by the accompanying LED positioned above.

A 33mm-tall rear edge is used by CM Storm to give the input keys a user-facing gradient that helps to enhance typing efficiency and general comfort. If the default gradient isn't sufficient, a pair of rubber-tipped feet can raise the QuickFire TK by an extra 13mm.

CM Storm equips the QuickFire TK with a mini-USB connector which is converted to standard USB 2.0 port via a removable, 1.8m cable. This method allows users to quickly reposition or clean the keyboard without having to scramble through a plethora of wires to unplug the QuickFire TK from their system's rear inputs.

A trio of channels provides access for the braided USB wire to depart the keyboard's underside from the most convenient location, hence reducing desk-based cable clutter.
