hey guys what's going on Jay with Jays two cents here and I will be the first to admit that I'm a little bit late to this party and so I've just been a little bit backed up and I apologize for being late to this review but hey at least it's not you know one of those ones that was spam to your inbox so it's kind of out here by itself for a little while now the Quickfire rapid I what exactly is the Quickfire rapid I mean we've already had the Quickfire rapid out basically the Quickfire rapid eye is just an intelligent version of the rapid that's what the ice hands for intelligent I believe intelligence or it could stand for indigestion I'm not entirely sure but doesn't really apply in this situation so I'm pretty sure intelligence is the right act the right word for the eye in there okay so without drawing this out making a really long review of a keyboard because it's kind of hard for you guys to really grasp what I'm feeling and experiencing with the keyboard so let's go ahead talk about features I'll do a quick typing test and tell you guys what I think Coolermaster is using the Cherry MX browns on this particular model so as you can see it comes with the white LEDs I like that now some people may not like Browns and some people may not like white LEDs they may clash with their build maybe they want red maybe they want blue I hope that they will have other color options in the future for LEDs rather than just going with white but I am personally a fan of the white board I really like about this keyboard and actually I'll get to a whole list of kind of pros and cons it from my perspective but it's the level of detail that they put into this I mean it looks like just your standard backlit 10-qs featureless keyboard but that's not really the case I mean they've gotten to a lot of detail for instance and obviously you can see that's the Windows key the caps lock button the num lock and the scroll lock buttons don't have dedicated LEDs that light up anywhere on the screen so instead what they do is that key cap will either light up or not depending on whether or not that function is activated so for instance caps lock when it's off by default is not lit up but when you turn on caps lock boom it's lit up and the same is for scroll lock and the gamer lock function and all of that so that's really cool I like the small amount of detail that has gone into that now you do have all of your standard f row keys that do various things I mean you've got your brightness level here I apparently just opened up the wooden pad help screen okay so what actually makes the RapidEye intelligent well good sir madam I am glad you asked it's got an onboard 32-bit ARM processor with built-in onboard profiles and memory so you can set up lighting configurations on this keyboard they're gonna follow you wherever you plug it in so it's stored on the keyboard in the built-in memory it's not gonna be dependent on software being installed to utilize any of the profiles that you set up now that's not new to the industry but it is something newer for Coolermaster and I'm glad that they finally decided decided to start incorporating that because I felt that that was on some of the other keyboard reviews I did for them I mentioned that I felt that that was a bit lacking so they debuted this keyboard at CES we took a look at it there and I'm very glad that they decided to do that so I'm gonna give you just a quick demonstration of as I can tour my arm very strangely here of how that functionality actually works so let's say right now we want to record what Keys we want on for one of the four profiles which are listed here under F 9 through 12 M 1 2 3 & 4 so I hold down function hit record keep holding function and choose the profile I want so in this case we'll go ahead and do profile M 2 now you can see that's flashing to tell me that I've got m2 activated but I don't have any keys lit yet because I didn't tell it what keys to light up so let's say we're playing a shooter we've got WASD maybe we've got weapons 1 through 6 maybe F is grenade or G is grenade c4 Crouch maybe left shift 4 sprint you can illuminate the keyboard if you want that way and maybe tilt is something and J I know there you go so we can say okay that's what we've got lit up that's what we want to actually you know utilize for this profile hold function hit F 2 or M 2 again and then there it is you can see that we have now only got the keys illuminated that we want so you can do that for the yes profiles here built into the keyboard giving you a lot of different combinations of different lighting backlight that you can control on here so like I said not new to the industry but new to coolermaster and I'm glad that they finally implemented that now they do have a couple of new lighting modes on here that I quite honestly do have some fun with when I'm bored and I've been using this keyboard for about a month and a half now so I'm glad to finally get to show you this let's say we change the lighting - and here are the built-in lighting modes obviously like I said we've got breathe we've got this one here which as you can see it just lights up briefly as you type on it can't really see it because it's under your finger it lights up so quickly but we've also got this trailing mode which is like where it kind of goes on and then just sort of fades out behind you that's really fun actually if you're a very fast typer you like to have some fun with that that's kind of a cool cool little mode right there and in fact if you want to play with that mode and get a good example of what it feels like you can go on to the website that's linked down in the description sort of a sample page of what it's like to type on this keyboard so when you type on your keyboard it'll light up on the screen and show you with that functionalities like so head on down the description check out that website which will tell you or show you how that functionality feels now when it comes to the bottom it is it's got a nice wide rubber feet it's got rubber flip-out feet so that you can get a nice upward angle and it's not I mean this thing is not notice that does not slide very easy so there you go now one other thing I want to talk about here is it does have a nice rubberized finish a very minimalistic look so it's not really gaudy or anything like that as you are you know maybe going to land parties or stuff and as we mentioned earlier it is 10 keyless so you don't have a 10 key over there allowing you to have a nice narrow gaming profile as you're you know doing your thing so let's go ahead and just kind of do a quick typing test and I don't judge me I'm I don't type on this keyboard an awful lot and I'm very used to a 10 keyless so my hands automatically want to go much farther left than I'm used to but anyway what we'll do here is we'll just make the font massive and I mean I have typed on this keyboard quite a bit already and I really do enjoy it but let's see I can just say that I like this keyboard a lot and I think that most people would probably get used to the 10 key list pretty quickly and I am probably making all kinds of mistakes but that that's okay because I am NOT very SMRT so I mean tied behind it's very nice I'm very used to brown keys getting used to this keyboard was pretty easy but again 10 kilos is a little weird for me so guys this has been the rapid eye from Coolermaster cm storm line of products go and check it out down the description that webpage is kind of fun just to screw around with follow me on Twitter if you guys want to talk a little bit more about this product or head on over to Jay's two cents where I did do a little written article over there going a little bit more into depth of some of the built in features of this keyboard so I get the heck on out of here we got a trip to Chicago coming up you guys may be watching this way into the future so I'm referencing something that happened way in the past from the future in a past video it's gonna be a weird time paradox thing going on there but anyway guys I'm gonna get on out of here as always hope to follow you on some social media and I will see you in my next video you
