At the time of this writing, Cooler Master is the only manufacturer that sells MX Green switch keyboards in the US. We’d like to take this opportunity to discuss the Cherry MX Green switches in the QuickFire XT Stealth, as they’re a somewhat rare breed of keyswtich. #Quickfire xt brown PcIt should also be noted that these functions all work even when the keyboard is connected to the PC using the USB to PS/2 adapter. As on most Cooler Master keyboards, media functions are FN key operated, and allow for the standard set of commands: Play/Pause, Stop, Jump Back, Jump Forward, Lock Windows Key, Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up. The front printed keys look very sleek, as the black key tops give the QuickFire XT Stealth a very minimalist look. The QuickFire XT Stealth chassis has the same rubberized texture of the QuickFire Stealth, which makes quite resistant to fingerprints, and imparts a very high quality feel to the keyboard. However, kudos to Cooler Master for sticking with the braided cable, as it is a much higher quality feel. Though that option makes it slightly more time consuming to fully unplug the cable, it feels like the connector is more protected and less at risk from accidental trips over the cable or similar occurrences. While there are merits to both options, we prefer to have the connector on the underside and have the cable routing channels. Due to this design change, there are also no cable routing channels since they wouldn’t have any real function. #Quickfire xt brown fullThe QuckFire XT Stealth came in simple packaging and included a key puller, a user manual, a braided USB to USB cable, a USB to PS/2 adapter, and two replacement Windows keys with Cooler Master logos on them, as well as a set of four red keys to replace either the WASD or Arrow keys.Ī notable design deviation from the QuickFire Stealth is the use of a full sized USB port on the QuickFire XT Stealth, located on the back-right side of the keyboard, as opposed to the miniUSB located on the underside of the QuickFire Stealth. Since the QuickFire XT Stealth is basically just a full sized version of the QuickFire Stealth, we’re going to focus primarily on the differences between the models, as well as our experience using Cherry MX Green switches. We previously reviewed the QuickFire TK as well as the QuickFire Stealth. #Quickfire xt brown full sizeThe QuickFire XT is the full size variant of the QuickFire series, and the Stealth denotes the fact that it has front-printed keys (as opposed to top-printed). Today we are taking a look at the Cooler Master (CM) Storm QuickFire XT Stealth mechanical keyboard (with Cherry MX Green switches).
