Cooler Master Quick Fire XTi Brown Switch Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2016-04-11

Quick Fire XTi does provide the same key press feeling as many other keyboards we have tested in the past from other manufacturers since it does use the well-known Cherry MX Brown switches, which are great for both typing and gaming. With this model, we won’t get extra software because all can be done directly from the keyboard itself since F-keys and many others have double functions for: adjusting the red/blue LED light accents, setting a LED lighting mode, adjusting the repeat rates, recording macros on-the-fly, set our own LED profile and more. As accessories we do get the quite handy key puller in order to remove the key caps without scratching them or damaging the switch, but also a Cooler Master-branded key cap for replacement of the Fn or Windows key one.

The product simple and sleek look does also continue on the back; here we will be able to see some cable routing channels and a Cooler Master logo in the middle, along with a small sticker featuring the serial number. In each corner, the Quick Fire XTi does feature small rubber feet so the product would stay steady on the surface we would place it on:

There is also a set of feet on the top in order to raise the keyboard at an angle; the tip of these feet also have a rubber coating (big plus):

We are free to choose the cable management layout in three possible ways:

The mini-USB port has an optimal placement so the cable won’t move easily in this position:

Thanks to the key-puller we can remove the key caps without damaging them in just a snap. Each Cherry MX switch does feature a blue/red LED which can be adjusted on our liking:

We are free to turn off the red or the blue LED component completely in order to obtain pure blue or red LED light:

A closer look at the included bi-color LED shows that the blue accent is placed on the left while the red accent is located on the right side:
