with its factory tuning and data center DNA and Intel 730 series SSD is an amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts now I've looked at 10 keyless keyboards in the past but I'm a heavy number pad users so I've never really forced myself to use one for an extended period of time coolermaster was all like okay well we're gonna send you one but you have to actually use it so I said okay make sure it has brown switches on it and I'll consider it so they did so now I really have to try it but now if you don't know what a 10 keyless keyboard is then prepare yourself for a shock because it's missing a lot more than 10 keys versus a standard hundred and four key layout actually 17 keys because the number pad and all the other nearby keys are all not there the reason for this is that it's actually more ergonomic to have your mouse closer to the standard home row typing position than a standard keyboard allows the way most people end up compensating is either by typing too far to the left which causes strain or by moving their Mouse hand over too far to the right which also causes strain and this isn't marketing BS it's just fact the sacrifice that you make especially if like me you use your number pad a lot is that it's not there and especially at first I found myself reaching for that part of my keyboard a lot even little things like clicking on something and then trying to press the bottom right Enter key drove me bananas at the beginning so that's 10 keyless keyboards in general but I guess I should get into some specifics about the rapid eye from Coolermaster true to see M storms usual mo it's a solidly built mechanical keyboard featuring Cherry MX switches and a really pleasing matte black soft touch finish with laser etched keys it's got a full backlight in this case white we have five levels of brightness which you can adjust just like that and a few cool lighting modes that cool master is brending active lights including full illumination breathing two different types of reactive typing with or without a fade out and four different profiles that can be programmed and then recalled in just a few seconds so you can pick which keys you want illuminated I made a little squiggly line across the keyboard it's got media controls that can be accessed with a function modifier and one more cool feature something I've only seen a couple of times is that it's also got repeat rate control this is less useful for typing since it affects how fast a key that you're holding down will repeat on the screen so things get out of control pretty fast 1x is normal looks like this well 2 X looks like this 4 X looks like this and 8 X is just ridiculous but gaming is a different story and this will come in handy for commands that you want to execute repeatedly much faster than you can press the button repeatedly QuickTime events where you need to match the button hot bring it on alright so back to the 10 keyless experience as a whole for a bit I did almost immediately notice the improvement in my mouse and comfort for general computer use and for gaming even though for quite a while it weirded me out every time I took my hand off my mouse to press a key on the right side of the keyboard just be missing at least that's not an issue for gaming when really the left side of the keyboard is the only part that's in use so overall after my trial period I'm not quite ready to make the switch I think I'd need to pick up a USB mechanical number pad to use on the right side of my mouse something a lot of 10 keyless users who use number pads do and try that out a little bit before I commit but what I will say is I definitely liked the improved ergonomics of not feeling like my posture is either too wide or shifted too far to the left and if I was shopping for a 10 keyless today the rapid I would have my attention since Coolermaster is using genuine Cherry MX switches on this model and the build quality overall is nice and solid thanks for watching guys the link for where to buy this product is in the video description as always it includes pricing I don't usually talk about pricing so that changes all the time anyway that's all below the like dislike and share buttons which I'd love for you to use accordingly also in the video description is a support link where you can buy a t-shirt give us a monthly contribution or change your Amazon browser bookmark to one with our affiliate code so we get a kickback whenever you buy lemons or whatever it is people buy on Amazon these days that helps us out a lot so thank you for watching and as always don't forget to subscribe for this tech tip for boxing's reviews and other computer videos
