Title: very comfortable, well priced and software works great.
Review: As a long time Razer keyboard owner the swap to cooler master has been great, the red switches have a much more subtle key click but feel faster and more responsive compared to the green switches with the razer keyboard.Removing Razer synapse felt liberating and the masterplus software feels so much better, less bloated and has some very nice pre-set lighting modes. The software is simple, but not in a bad way. It has everything you need in a simple and clean layout and it isnt trying to force you to download extra apps you dont need.Its a very well priced keyboard with alot of thought and feels very robust and premium. The addition of the wrist pad and key removal tool in the box is a bonus too.

Title: Shame about quality control
Review: Love the keyboard as its exactly what i wanted, dissapointed with quality control as the idea of the added wrist wrest, which i wanted but found that the foam was split and also the cloth surface lifting away.The box arrived undamaged and security tape in place.I own a few cooler master devices and happy enough with them.The keys sound a bit tinny but this is the first of this kind of keyboard i have had and its not a deal breaker as i hear it now and again or im just not used to typing on it at the moment.Overall works really well as its wireless and at 65% reduced in size less clutter, which is a bonus, plus the needed portability, makes it a winner for my setup.Easy to type with and very responsive.The keyboardd feels solid and of good quality.

Title: CoolerMaster CK721 keyboard
Review: Playing fps games when have time. One minus I can give for: what don’t have F buttons but can use CoolerMaster button. Can set light for any button, save couple profiles. Good quality.

Title: Sleek and easy to use
Review: I predominant use this for typing and have found it much nicer than my non-mechnical Razer device. It looks sleek, has great colours, and feels like a premium product.

Title: WOW!
Review: This is the BEST keyboard I’ve ever purchased.The keys are easy to press, dont make much noise, stable and cool.The brushed aluminium makes it all look premiumI was hesitant to buy, I though for the price I would get something cheaply. So I winged it. I was wrong, it’s great, brilliant infact.Do not be discouraged.Cons, for heavy hitting finger types. At first it may seem strange, but when you get used to it. You will understand how good it is

Title: Good keyboard, terrible software
Review: The keyboard itself is pretty good. The build quality is great, the keys feel nice, and typing on it is enjoyable. The problem is the software, which is some of the worst I’ve ever encountered. It’s unusable.It was difficult to get it to install, and when I managed that, the software wouldn’t run. Eventually I got it to run, but it was unresponsive. I’ve tried reinstalling several times, running with compatability settings, installing old versions, but nothing works.You can do some things on the keyboard without the software, but it’s very clunky. It’s difficult enough figuring out how the lighting works, and good luck trying to set up macros on it.I got this when it was half price, and I’m probably going to send it back. Absolutely do not pay full price for this.

Title: Loved it … but it went back
Review: Its a stunning keyboardYou feel like you have a lovely piece of engineering at your fingertipsBut, on blutooth, every time you wake it with a keystroke, it continually repeats that keystroke until the next keypress … I had to delete 100 accidentally sent msgs on twitter lolzmedia knob is great, but, to change between it working for volume to skip track etc … you have to hold down 2 keys at opposite ends of the keyboard … so ok if you are at it 2 handed all the time .. but not easy it u are using 1 handSwitching between PC tablet and phone on blutooth was absolutely flawless … worked beautifullyNeeds double the battery size for me … the radio wireless uses much more power than blutooth too … and if you turn off the lights, its difficult to read the letters on the keycaps … because they are translucentFinally, the hole for you to plug in the USBC cable is so small that other cables do not fit … maybe thats a safety thing … some cheap cables (received with cheap £30 mech kb) are not designed for charging, they are for data only, and I almost had a fire in my place; charging an xbox controller with a USB cable only designed for data transfer …. people need to be aware … if id left the flat, I would have prob burnt down the whole block, but I smelt the burning … it melted the plastic around the portAnd id like to have got clicky blue low-profile keycaps … so research time!Nice experience owning, just too many annoyances for me … still, an absolute steal at £75 … you could prob do alot worse if trying a premium mechanical for the first time … half price

Review: Ce clavier est tout simplement INCROYABLE !!!J’étais au premier abord très septique sur ce dernier, au vu de son bas prix (je l’ai eu en promotion pour 55€) cependant il n’en n’ai rien !Sur ce dernier on retrouve des switch TTC Red, marque assez peu utiliser pour équiper les claviers mécanique (assez souvent pour les bas et milieux de gamme) cependant ce sont de très bon switch très réactif et avec un bruit assez doux (par rapport à des Cherry MX Red.Secondement on reçoit avec notre clavier un super repose poignet, visuellement il fait bas de gamme c’est vrai mais dès qu’on l’utilise il est tout simplement super confortable. La mouse est assez compacte pour tenir en place et pour soutenir notre poignet et à la fois assez mole pour être agréable pendant de longues sessions.Le clavier en lui même est fait en plastique avec une plaque supérieur en aluminium qui fournit une finition assez classe. Le seul problème de ce dernier est que lorsqu’on appuie les touche jusqu’au bout certaines rentre en résonnance avec la carcasse du clavier qui crée un bruit métallique (mais pas au point de s’en tirer les cheveux).Le rgb du clavier est superbe et se repend merveilleusement bien grâce à ses keycaps et à la plaque métallique supérieur. Avec le logiciel Cooler Master Plus on peut crée des macros, désactiver ou activer certaines touches, il y a énormément de mode d’éclairage différent, ce qui plaira à tout le monde je pense.Plusieurs profils peuvent être crée et on peut passer de l’un à l’autre en combinant la touche fn et les touches P1,2,3,4.En somme ce clavier est d’un rapport qualité prix tout simplement imbattable, pour avoir déjà eu auparavant un Corsair k70 qui vaut plus du double du prix du CK530 V2 ils se valent totalement, même si pour être honnête le Corsair est un peu plus qualitatif au niveau des choix des matériaux.Petit plus un petit carnet avec tout les raccourcis pour vous faciliter la vie avec le clavier et une pince pour enlever les keycaps sont dans le packaging du clavier.Et pour couronner le tout certaines touches (ENTER, SPACE, BACK, et certaines autres) sont lubrifier ce qui qu’elles sont beaucoup moins bruyantes que la normal, ON AIME CE DETAIL !Le seul point négatif du clavier est que le câble qui relie à votre ordinateur est un simple câble gainé, ce qui pourrait rapidement s’abîmerPour conclure FONCEZ !PS : SI VOUS TROUVEZ MON AVIS UTILE N’OUBLIEZ PAS DE L’INDIQUER MERCI 🙂

Review: J’ai acheté ce clavier il y a maintenant 2 ans en réduction et je n’ai pas grand chose à dire dessus, il est de très bonne qualité, le châssis est le plastique très quali et en métal. La sensation à la frappe est très bonne, il fait pas mal de bruit mais bon c’est normal pour un clavier de ce type en swtich rouges… Il est très réactif et en ce qui concerne le rétroéclairage, il est vraiment super ! La lumière est bien visible même en plein jour et tout est personnalisable depuis le logiciel masterplus qui est assez simple d’utilisation. Pleins d’effets possible et un grand nombre de possibilités en ce qui concerne les macros également.Les seuls points faibles de ce clavier d’après moi sont le câble qui n’est pas tressé et assez fragile, surtout si vous avez des animaux de compagnie, et le repose poignet qui est pas très agréable et assez inutile, car c’est un simple bout de mousse, ce que je trouve un peu abusé à ce prix, mais cela reste acceptable sachant que la plupart des claviers n’en ont pas. Et pour finir, il est assez difficile à nettoyer et comme il y a de la lumière et que le châssis est en métal, on voit tout de suite quand il y a un peu de poussière dessus.

Review: J’utilise ce clavier depuis trois semaines et j’en suis très satisfait.Les touches mécaniques sont très agréables et dynamiques. Au départ je trouvais l’éclairage trop lumineux, mais avec le temps je m’y suis habitué et le trouve bien. De plus, l’éclairage est personnalisable grâce à un raccourci clavier (il y a beaucoup d’options). Pour la solidité, les touches et l’arrière sont en plastique, tandis que la plaque sous les touches est en aluminium. J’avais choisi ce clavier pour la plaque en aluminium que je trouve esthétique et qui permet une bonne solidité.Ce clavier comporte aussi un tapis en mousse pour reposer les mains. Il est très agréable, la mousse est compacte et a du grip en dessous pour éviter qu’il ne bouge durant l’utilisation et d’un outil pour retirer les touches.Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Le seul vrai défaut du produit est le bruit des touches sur la plaque en aluminium. En effet quand on utilise les touches centrales et la barre espace du clavier, le bruit résonne sur la plaque. Cela peut déranger certains utilisateurs… C’est pour cela que je ne peux pas lui mettre la note maximale.
