Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro M

so my dad recently gifted me with an RGB keyboard because he's cool like this Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro M =)

believe it or not it's my first time owning an RGB keyboard as my Armageddon one has proven to be quite reliable

but being a noob at peripherals doesn't mean i shouldn't at least share how i feel about this gem of a mechanical keyboard eh? haha

after strolling around for a bit, we decided to make the purchase at Cybermind Computer House, located at level 3 or 4 of Sim Lim Square i can't remember off-hand lol. but yea what really was the decider was the staff's impartial and informative service. think his name is Sam or something definitely recommend him if you lack the time to do much research.

so first things first, the amount of customization and software available was a lil overwhelming so i opted not to download any software for the time being and stuck to just the simple hardware controls.

holding FN while tapping F4 will allow you to scroll through the various RGB options. personally i find the rainbow colour from left to right most enticing with the slow breathing effect coming in second but hey.. you may have different inclinations so no worries.

next up, on some schemes you can select not just which colours you want but how bright you want them to be by individually tapping either F1, F2 or F3, up to 9 times respectively.

so far that's what i've tried and yea! i think it's great for me but there're a ton more macros and colour combinations for you to explore if you're a veteran of such items!

aside from the RGB are the Cherry MX keys. i chose the brown ones over the blue for two reasons-no stock for the latter colour and clicking sound a tad bit too loud for my liking. but based on what i've heard, the blue ones are more highly wanted than brown so you may want to try it out for yourself in person before buying.

made a short clip of it for the TLDR version =)

in conclusion, for SGD $129, i give this Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro M RGB Keyboard a 9 out of 10 for its usability, sturdy build quality, multiple features and RGB aesthetics.
