hey guys you're watching Jays two cents and if you hear anything in this video that sounds like a fart I swear to god it's just my chair I have complete control over myself I swear recently we took a look at the CM storm quickfire ultimate mechanical keyboard if there's one thing we learned from that video is that some of you just don't want flashy you don't want lights you don't want all kinds of function keys and you don't want a 10 keypad and you just want a nice simple mechanical 10 keyless keyboard so that's why for the sake of today's video we're going to go ahead and take the Quickfire ultimate and we are going to toss it aside and we're gonna take a look at the Quickfire stealth this is a mechanical keyboard that's got no flash to it but it still is pretty damn awesome now the CM storm stealth that I'm holding in my hand has the Cherry MX red switches in it and is available in a few different switch models so you're just gonna have to go on the website and check those out but we do have the cherry MX red if you don't know what the MX red is check out this video that's gonna pop up somewhere right around I will just stick it over my face is probably the best place for it it's a video right here that I've done a few weeks ago that explains what all the different switches are that are available from CM storm so go and check that out so you know exactly what this witches mean now getting back here to the Quickfire stealth it's a pretty cool keyboard and I've been using it on my workstation to kind of get a feel for it because it has a pretty unique feature about it and we'll get to that a little bit later now inside the package here you've got your keyboard in the nice protective sleeve and you have this is kind of interesting to me you have a USB to ps2 adapter in there I don't know how many people really still using ps2 but either way they've given you one you've got this package up here that contains well nothing behind this is really awkward I'm gonna break an elbow trying to do this review there's nothing behind that sleeve and behind this sleeve you have two packages right there and in here you have some replacement keys for the keyboard got some they're branded Coolermaster and then you have some red arrow keys to replace the WASD on the keyboard if you're a gamer and the red looks really nice you also have the same braided cable that comes with the quick-fire series here because remember the quick-fire keyboards do feature removable USB and it's actually hey you know check it out it's braided that's cool that's always nice and neat and then you have your same little Quick Start Guide here that talks about the keyboard and some of the other accessories that are available for the CM storm line now let's go ahead and take a look at the keyboard because there's one thing you may notice about this where are the letters and stuff how do you know what you're typing well they call it stealth for a reason cuz check this out oh there's side printed keys they're not actually on the top of the key so this may take a little getting used to for some of you but it's pretty neat because that means there's no chance of wearing off your keys at all it's got a nice a cm storm logo on the back one of the things some people gave coolermaster feedback on was they didn't want to see branding all over the top of the keyboard they wanted something nice and clean so they stuck it on the back that way they know it's there and you know it's there but it's not visible from your angle like this it does have a nice rubberized finish to it so you don't get fingerprints all over it if you have the polished piano finish so all around the bezel is nice and textured and rubberized including in here next to the arrow keys you've got you've got some function keys up here you've got your multimedia keys you know pause play fast-forward rewind volume up and down and all that and it is controlled by the function button right here just like you with a laptop and turn to the bottom you've got the same type of channel here as we saw on the ultimate where you can plug in a USB cable and route up the back or out the sides or whatever you want again it features a nice thick rubber feet on there as well as your little flip up device here but the one thing that this doesn't have that kind of disappoints me a little bit is these are plastic feet they're not rubberized like the bottom of the ultimate so if you're gonna flip these up to get a nice upward angle of the keyboard it's not gonna have as much traction as if it were rubberized there are only a couple of keys that light up on here and they are of course the scroll lock key the caps lock key and there is no num lock key on here because it's not a it's a 10 kilos you do have a red back plate on this and let me go ahead and remove a key just to demonstrate that key popper you take that off and look down inside there now you can see it's a red backlit we're not backlit take that back there is no backlighting on this keyboard but it is a red back plate with our cherry MX red switch you see just how easy this is to use you just pop it down the key and will pop right on off there the pop right off don't channel so this is what it looks like with the red WASD keys on there and you can see they do also feature arrows on there if you're maybe new to gaming and you don't know WASD is because they're also movement keys in most modern FPS first person shooter games and on the bottom right here on the side of the key it does still feature the letter just like the rest of the keys now one thing I did mention is this is not backlit this is a confession probably why they call it stealth not only because it's nice and black looks like a ninja the keys are on the side but it also does not have backlighting which is just simple non flashy which also helps them keep the price down it features the same solid I mean as you can see there's no flex to this keyboard because again it has a steel backplate on there keeping it nice and rigid it is pretty heavy it's got a nice hefty weight to it and it's very portable as you can see the size of this keyboard is very small I do really like this keyboard and like I mentioned I have been using it for a bit and it's just really nice and easy to type on and you're not gonna wear off any of the letters on there because there's no letters to wear up so and the cool thing about this is because they're cherry switches you can customize the keys on here by buying custom keys online and and really customizing this keyboard to feet fits your needs this is definitely a keyboard to go check out guys check out CM storm they have a whole line of gaming products and we're gonna be bringing you a lot more reviews
