Just in time for the new year! Cooler Master has sent us their latest mechanical keyboard, the QuickFire TK. It is a compact, backlit mechanical keyboard. It's about time these things are seeing the light of day... for the longest time, those of us who wanted backlighting + compact were stuck with either the insanely expensive, odd-layout Deck 82 key, or the not-so-favorable KBT boards. Cooler Master has answered our call with this new QuickFire TK. For more information on mechanical keyboards, please see this guide.

It's actually hard and probably incorrect to call the QuickFire TK "tenkeyless" since it does in fact have a numberpad. But it's more or less the same size as a tenkeyless board. I suppose "compact" is a better term. It is a 92-key board, using a rare layout. Instead of having a seprate numberpad and separate arrow keys like normal keyboards, the QuickFire TK merges the numberpad with the arrow keys and others, namely Insert, Home, Page scrolling, Delete, and all of those keys located in that area. The result is a ...

The first thing that comes to mind when you consider the Level 10 lineup from Thermaltake is Design. Level 10 products have had a history of having a certain uniqueness to them that separates them from the rest. With that being said, the Level 10 M gaming mouse from Thermaltake is absolutely no exception. Its sleek and complex design is the product a design team who work for BMW. Not only does this thing look top-notch, but it has the construction to back it up. The base is made out of thick aluminum, and the top portion is a hardened vented plastic. And like any good quality gaming mouse, the cable is braided.

But what about customization? Well, if this is your thing, then you will not be disappointed. The Level 10 Mouse has more customization options than we have ever seen in a mouse. Each of the 11 buttons is fully customizable to any operation you need via the included software. Not only are the buttons customizable, but each individual light can be changed to a specific color, or turned off. And in addition to that, the physical size of the mouse can be changed. Using the included hex-wrench, you can change the height and angle of the top portion of the mouse.

So with all of its features, which we will get into later on in the review, you can bet that this mouse is about as high end as you can get. ...

Cooler Master has really been on a roll as of late. Just looking at their CM Storm branded peripherals, recently we have looked at the Skorpion mouse bungee, QuickFire Rapid, Trigger, QuickFire Pro, Sentinel Advance II, Speed RX mouse pad, Sirus headset, among others. Do you know what they all have in common? They were all impressive products, especially the mice, keyboard, and headset. In a relatively short amount of time, they've achieved quite a lot.

Here in front of me is another CM Storm gaming mouse waiting to be tested. This is their latest mouse, the Recon. It's quite special in the sense that it's ambidextrous... not many of those around are there? I was a bit worried about the layout of an ambidextrous gaming mouse, so let's see how the Recon looks and feels.



I'll tell you from the start, this will be a longer than usual Unboxing section. So let's start from the top; the box design is pretty much the same as the Sentinel Advance II and Inferno. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? It's descriptive ...

Have you ever heard of a mouse bungee? This item is growing in popularity as of late, and many well known gaming peripheral manufacturers are releasing them. The guys at CM Storm didn't want to fall behind, so they've created their own, the Skorpion.

So what is a mouse bungee? It's a very simple device really; all it is a stand that allows you to route your mouse cord through it. What's the point of that? Well, I'm sure you've experienced your cord dragging and pulling, which is not desirable in games. This ...

Cooler Master has been on a roll in the enthusiast keyboard market. They started off with a home run with their QuickFire Rapid, a tenkeyless, top quality board with an affordable price tag. The keyboard was well received here at GND-Tech, but one wish was for a backlight. Cooler Master has addressed this common wish with the new QuickFire TK keyboard!

Last year, Cooler Master released their first gaming headset called the Storm Sirus. It is an enthusiast product that did very well in our review. Since then, they've released a revision of the Storm Sirus, but no new headset for the mainstream market. But now after one year, Cooler Master looks to appeal to the mainstream market with the Sonuz headset.
