Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i Overview

2014-04-02
how's it going guys Kyle here with awesomesauce news today I'll be giving you a first look and overview of this brand new keyboard from Coolermaster this is their CM storm quickfire rapid eye according to the manufacturer the I stands for intelligence which leads me to believe that Coolermaster must not have a very high opinion of their former quick fire rapid keyboard and while I'm the last person on earth to ever patronize aging hardware today I will be looking at some of the features that distinguish the rapid eye from its older idiot brother so let's begin taking from the Quickfire rapid the rapid eye is a 10 keyless board designed for portability and travel put to death as the age-old stereotype that gamers stay cooped up in their mothers basements when in fact they often venture out of their homes and into their friend's mother's basements to partake in land parties and other gaming festivities this makes the RapidEye a worthy option for on-the-go gamers and land party animals alike besides portability another advantage of a 10 keyless layout is that it enables more ergonomic mousing for right-handed users omitting a numpad moves the mouse closer to the center reducing the reach required to grab it this movement engages muscles in the shoulder back and neck and repetition over long periods of time can lead to soft tissue damage and ultimately your agonizing and untimely death that's right folks purchase this keyboard and you will live forever all keys on the rapid I feature Cherry MX brown switches and are individually backlit with white LEDs coolermaster has traditionally matched the LED color with the switch color of the mechanical keyboards but their decision to not use brown LEDs on this device has quite literally saved it from looking like n key rollover allows you to press any number of keys on the board simultaneously without missing a single keystroke some argue this feature is a per flow but I believe it's a selling point any radiation victim with extra limbs can appreciate included with the rapid eye is a braided microUSB cable that plugs into a port behind the keyboard on the bottom you'll find two fold away rubber feet that give the keyboard a slight incline for a more ergonomic feel when typing and the less organ amah keel when smashing it against your face the f5 through f8 keys let you change the key repeat rate from 1x all the way up to 8 X so you can execute in-game commands faster and save lots of time spamming YouTube comments now as far as what makes the RapidEye smarter than your average keyboard much of the answer lies and how the board handles LED functionality which is also what largely sets it apart from the quick fire rapid an onboard 32-bit ARM processor executes a number of led functions that extend the usability of the keyboard and bring about some robust features that will have you saying man these features are robust many of the common LED features from previous Coolermaster keyboards are carried over by the rapid eye including brightness adjustment and the O so played out breathing LEDs which I'm now calling the yawning LEDs new to the game however is reactive illumination where each key lights up for a split second upon being depressed did you know ten out of ten Keys suffer from depression similarly the new trailing effect does the same thing except the LED stay lit for a moment longer offering a slick aesthetic that you'll definitely want to show off to your friends just make sure if you have a girl over she never finds out how giddy this makes you or you will never see her again ever but undoubtedly the most useful new feature of the rapid eye is the implementation of individually programmable LEDs with on-the-fly recording you can select any number of keys to stay illuminated and save your settings in one of the four customizable profiles from there you can dynamically switch between modes to suit your needs whether it be typing gaming or my personal favorite sexy solo time and that folks concludes this overview once again this has been the CM storm quickfire rapid eye gaming mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches from Coolermaster if you liked this video and think the name of this product is too damn long toss me a like and share this video with your friends so that they can watch it from their mothers basements - I'm Kyle with awesomesauce news thank you guys for watching subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and I'll see you all in the next video
