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 keyboard does also come with full NKRO support, anti-ghosting features, channels to route the cable underneath, so in total we get most of the benefits of the high-end keyboards. Also, it is good to remind of the UV key cap coating for extended quality and durability so the key caps won’t start wearing off as we have seen with the NovaTouch TKL after some months of heavy usage.

Despite the fact that we only have two colors to choose from for the LED lighting, we can always use a combination of these two in order to get many more results, since the LED light intensity can be set per-color.

The Quick Fire XTi model was not designed to be a very expensive so it can be found online for about 139 Euros; considering the product features/benefits we are getting with the XTi, the current pricing is quite fair.
