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!

Re: Rockin' out with my Keyboard out!

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?

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

Sick photo! xD~

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

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.

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.
