I can't believe it's been almost two years since we took a look at the last Cooler Master keyboard, back in 2014 I personally took a look at the CM Storm Quick Fire Stealth . I also remember being impressed with it, with just the price holding it back. Th...

The Quickfire XTi is a class act with some charms, and a killer punch. Available in Cherry Red, Brown or Blue, the keystrokes on our test Brown unit felt oddly clackier than the normally semi-slushy Browns. So Cooler Master has done something to the mecha...

There is a lot to like about this design in the QuickFire XTi. We love the fact that this solution is driver-less, requiring you only to learn to finesse the keyboard to do as you wish rather than clicking away in software. Outside of being a solid keybo...

Once you have used a mechanical keyboard you will never quite get along with other types quite the same again. CM Storm have settled on Browns for the QuickFire XTi making it a decent all-rounder, although I much prefer these to the other flavours availab...
