There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
What I didn't love was the materials used. Using so much plastic gave it a very cheap feel. Comparing the board to my Keychron K6 made me feel like I got a toy rather than a keyboard I could use long-term. I'm not a keyboard connoisseur, but this one didn't speak to me and I ended up returning it.
1. It came with PBT caps already, compared to the originals.
2. It came with a coiled connector.
3. The color was pretty convincing.
I was hesitant with what the negative reviews stated. Since the 30th ann. version was a bit of an upgrade, I caved. Lol
So far, it has been a bit over a month in use. I have tested both wired, Bluetooth, and wireless. All works great between daily use and gaming. I haven’t had an issue with it at all.
To me, this is a pretty solid board if you are not all about the hot swappable keys. The RGB is super bright and I find the pre-install settings are more than enough. This means no additional program needs to be downloaded. If you want to do more customization, it’s needed.
This keyboard saved me so much space and I love it. I cannot wait for them to come out with more accessories for it.
Plus, the sound is pretty smooth and quiet to me (compared to my old one). Of course it could be better, but I’m fine with it.
A few cons are the wrist pad and space bar. The wrist pad should of been more of a slope for better comfort. I also believe the space bar needs more lube or a different stabilizer.
I decided to switch out the black PBT key caps that came with it to white ones I already had.
Is it pricey? Not really. Maybe the original colors of grey and silver, but 30th ann. is worth every penny.

After Logitech MX Keyboard really another feeling. It's more like toy, cool toy.
But small, for me. I'd like 100% size, with numpad and etc... Using keyboard not for gaming.
Build quality quite good. Included MX Cherry green switches no RGB, so if you going to replace red switches to another - buy RGB version.
RGB backlight - really pleasant.
so, my verdict - good keyboard, but I'd like to buy not 65%, not 75/TKL.. keyboard for my must be 100 full size. Cooler master - please make same keyboard, but full-size.
Top reviews from other countries
The usb-c port on the keyboard is weird. You have to push the cable in more than you think. I don't think regular custom usb-c cables will work with this keyboard the cutout for the usb-c port is small and prevents most cables from fitting in properly. Maybe the coolermaster custom keyboard cables will work with it? Maybe that's a cash grab?
The Coolermaster plus software to configure lighting and macros/key rebinding works, but crashes a lot when you change lights. This is weird but one of my monitors is oriented 180deg via Windows and when the software full screens on that monitor it's upside down. This doesn't happen with anything else.
The firmware seems jank for this keyboard as of 2022-12-21. Sometimes you plug it in and it's one profile, sometimes it's a different profile. Not a huge deal just slightly annoying.
Also, Coolermaster's support site is really clunky and difficult to use.
Overall good sounding keyboard, good RGB effects, the build is solid and lubing is good. Really good entry-level customizable keyboard at this price point ($130 CAD/$100 USD).
