Cooler Master Ck550 V2 Gaming Mechanical Keyboard Brown Switch With RGB Backlighting, On-The-Fly Controls, And Hybrid Key Rollover, Ck-550-Gktm1-Us

Overall good keyboard. I played FPS games, SC2, coding and it's been good so far. But, it's almost a year and some of the keys aren't always working when pressed. Particularly the esc and del buttons. I presumed my coding and SC2 was a bit too much for it too handle. Also would advice to get a quieter switch. Brown is too loud for my preference especially for my button mashing.

**UPDATE**the cooler master software used to configure the keyboard was preventing my computer from going to sleep. For some reason it kept pinging my microphone which wouldn't let the computer sleep. Why does keyboard software need access to the microphone? Definitely a dodgy practice.Once I uninstalled the cooler master software my computer slept again.If you value privacy do NOT install the software, better yet buy a keyboard from a different manufacturer.** END UPDATE **This is my first mechanical keyboard and I'm happy with the way the keys feel and sound (I got the brown keys).However the one issue I have is with macros. I am a programmer and have a lot of commands that I would like to map to macros, but the macro software does not allow you to map the macro to multiple keys. For example if I want ctrl + cn to run a macro I cannot do that. Instead I'm limited to single keys so the same macro would run if I say mapped it to the c key, but then the c key can no longer be used to type c. Serious flaw.Temporarily I'm limiting my macros to keys I don't need such as pgup, pgdn, ins, left alt, lft win.

I have used TVS mechanical keyboard. So, what I was looking for was,1. Keys Not wobbling2. Great soundIn this keyboard, spacebar is wobbling at least I feel that. Also, I think that printing on the key could have been better for this price.Pros can be great sound and RGB lighting with Software support.Update (20 September, 2022) :-F key and L key stopped working So, I found a service centre near me and it took 7 days to replace my keyboard. After that, 7 numpad key started pressing automatically, so, I went to service centre again and it has been around 10 days and still no update. I would say poor service, but I believe at least they should have given some cautions for how to use and keep keyboard safe.

I was trying to replace my old Cooler Master keyboard (the Quickfire, which is still working perfectly btw), since it lasted me around 10 years, but they no longer make them. Then I decided to try this since it was on sale. Wow!The best keyboard I've owned so far. Been using for almost 2 months and no issues. The switches are a lot more silent and responsive (I had cherry brown), which is perfect. The F keys are closer, which is great for me. They are so many light options, which I don't really care for tbh, but nice to have it there. Has a very nice solid build.I've since using a few other peoples keyboards just to see (HyperX, Razor), but I still prefer this keyboard by far. I will definitely stick to this model as long as they keep making it!

me duro literal 8 meses, muchas teclas dejaron de funcionar de la nada sin tener ningun tipo de daño de agua o nada por el estilo, alguien podria argumentar que no duran para siempre pero si fuera por uso esperaria que las primeras teclas que dejasen de funcionar fueran las que mas uso como el WASD, 1234, zxcv ETC, las primeras teclas que dejaron de funcionar fue el numero 0 en el pad numerico, la M y la B, que no las uso para nada de lo que juego, y el espacio siempre se sintio mal, como si se atorara al pulsarlo y quedara hundido aparte de que siempre se sintio como estatica en el frame de metal lo cual no ocacionaba ningun electro shock o algo por el estilo pero si se notaba algun tipo de zumbido 1/10 este teclado honestamente y el unico punto es por el diseño pero en cuanto a control de calidad es de los peores que he tenido, para contexto tube un fps alloy como por 5 años antes de que fallara y ese hasta se me habia ojado y seguia funcionando perfectamente bien,2200 pesos por un teclado " mecanico " que las teclas dejan de funcionar en medio año ? de verdad que si alguien lee esto y esta pensando en comprarlo, no lo hagas, busca otra opcion
