Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!
 

This blog is a shoutout to CM Storm for their Quick Fire Pro keyboard with Brown Switches!

I only switched to the Quick Fire Pro with Brown Switches a month before going to DreamHack. I was hesitant initially as I didn't want to screw up my practice schedule by having to get used to a new keyboard. However within a few games I already forgot I was using a new keyboard and my play felt faster and smoother on the feather-light keys. This was one of the rare cases of a new piece of gear immediately becoming an invisible connection between my own mind and the game. It's so well designed it just feels natural to play on.

At DreamHack I felt like I was playing stronger than I ever have before. I can't think of a single moment where I missed a hotkey or struggled with my controls and whilst the lower latency was a big part of that, I think the Quickfire Pro added to this experience.

As someone who has used many high-end mechanical keyboards to compete all around the world, I highly recommend this one!

I'm strongly thinking of switching over to a mechanical keyboard... I'm using a Logitech G15 at the moment, did you find the initial switch from non-mech to mech awkward for a while, and how to brown switches compare in terms of weight to a non-mech keyboard?
Also, on a side note, how was playing with super low latency?

I think lighter keys in general are good, I went from black to red and its sick as hell! Prefer it so much

Re: Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!
 

If you take gaming seriously, mechanical keyboard is almost a must imo.

Sick photo! xD~

if you use a mechanical keyboard for a day you will never want to use a membrane again

Re: Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!
 

this x1000... within a few weeks of buying my first mech keyboard, i bought my second to use at work cause i hated membrane keyboards so much after finally trying a mechanical one....

My blue keys so much. Only wish they where slightly softer sound wise on a tap :P

Re: Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!
 

Blue switches are really loud.

For gaming I think red switches are generally the best choice.
I too recommend mechanical keyboards and would never turn back to membrane ones.

I bought mine here: www.cheapmechanicalkeyboard.com

Re: Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!
 

Reds and browns are the best imo

I still swap between my blackwidow (cherry blues) and my current CM Storm (cherry reds) just because they both feel so good, but yea problem with blues is the loudness.

wicked pic, mechanical ftw!

Re: Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!
 

using the same exact keyboard and switches too. affordable, durable and very comfortable to play on. anyone who wants a mechanical keyboard should definitely consider this

I first swapped so long ago I can't really remember! I just remember it was awesome haha! The low latency was great I felt I could handle messy situations so much easier. It was like taking training weights off and feeling faster and stronger! Definitely a good feeling, and I finally feel I'm fast enough and calm enough to take advantage of it.
