Cooler Master MasterKeys S PBT- Tenkeyless Gaming Mechanical Keyboard, Cherry MX Silver Switches, Thick 1.5mm PBT Keycaps

I'm extremely impressed with this keyboard for the price. I was never a very big fan of the RGB craze, and this board has none of it. Just the essentials; real cherry mx switches of your choice, PBT caps with embossed lettering and the overall build quality is excellent with a sleek matte black finish on the soft touch plastic frame. It's very minimalist and looks great and like I said is amazing quality for the price.

After much research, I settled on this Cooler Master SGK-4035-KKCM1-US MasterKeys L PBT- Full Size Gaming Mechanical Keyboard as a companion to my laptop. I also bought a great laptop docking station.The Cherry MX brown provides the perfect tactile balance for the keys. This keyboard makes typing fun. Everything is smooth and the keys are responsive without being springy. I wish it were LED / backlit, but this version doesn't come with it (it is available on another model). The Screenlock and Caps Lock buttons do light up, though - and it's a super bright red colour.Of course, being a gaming keyboard, it comes with key caps to switch out for the relevant keys. It comes with the cap replacer tool to make it easy to change them.An interesting feature is you can configure the keyboard for Mac, Linux or Windows OS. You can change the layout by using one of the Function buttons. Dvorak and Workman layouts arranges the keys in a unique way that differs from QWERTY for those who require it or desire it over the traditional layout.You can store macros in the keyboard as well - great for gaming. Another unique function is you can set the repeat rate - which controls the speed with which a key is repeated when held down. It can be set for really quickly, or more slowly.It's also great there are keyboard shortcuts for audio controls you can use as shortcuts for listening to Google Play at work rather than having to mouse up.As this keyboard is used in an open office, it was important to not get a keyboard that would be too 'clack'y. These Cherry Mx brown switches are a great balance for this.I appreciate the full size keyboard with the numbers on the side vs the more compact version of this keyboard.After about 9 months of use, I'm starting to see *some* slight wear on the space bar finish, but it's not really noticeable. In sum, this is a fantastic keyboard and I'm really happy with this choice.

Llevo unas pocas horas usándolo desde que me llego y les puedo decir que es un teclado muy cómodo, anteriormente tenía (todavía lo uso) el CM Storm Quickfire TK Cherry MX Blue, no es para nada un mal teclado, al contrario me encanto. Compré el teclado por simple gusto de querer probar lo que son los Cherry MX Brown.**Actividades que hago con el teclado**|Juego varios tipos de videojuegos - Osu! - LeagueOfLegends. - Counter Strike: Global Offensive. - Starcraft II. - World of Warcraft. - Call Of Duty.|Realizo programación|Realizo documentos Word, PowerPoint, etc.|Dibujo y edito imágenes en PS y Paint SAI.|Edito Audio.Con eso dicho, daré más adelante a más detalle lo que son los pros y contra del teclado, pero "so far, so good".**Pros** - Silencioso. - Cómodo (las teclas son suavecitas, no al punto que sean almohadas obviamente). - Diseño muy simple, pero eso no lo deja hacer notar. - Configuraciones de Macroteclas. - Teclas multimedia con la tecla de "FN". - Material de calidad. - Tiene "patitas" que levantan el teclado. - Usa cable microUSB y de muy bien material (llega el cable hasta mi PC pero me gustaría un poco más de longitud).**Cons** - Las "patitas" que sirven de soporte para el teclado para que se levante son algo débiles; levanto las patitas, empujo el teclado un poco adelante y como que le gana el peso y se caen. - Las teclas de QWERASD que te dan, al ponerlos al teclado siento que no están en su lugar, IMO.- El cable es algo corto, en mi caso.- No resiste mucho a juegos donde usas algo "agresivo" las teclas como lo es en mi caso del juego osu!DD/MM/AAAA**09/03/2018||Notas||- Tres teclas parecen despintarse, el CTRL izquierdo (No lo uso), el SHIFT de la izquierda (Lo uso mucho) al igual que el de la derecha.- Me acostumbre demasiado al teclado; aprovecho al máximo lo que son las MACRO teclas que tiene para configurarse.DD/MM/AAAA***07/04/2018||Notas||- Al utilizar mucho osu!, una tecla ya no entra dentro del teclado, no me importo mucho porque le puse otra tecla diferente.- Noté que el cable es algo corto, compre otro más largo.DD/MM/AAAA***07/10/2018||Notas||Hola, después de un buen tiempo de uso el teclado creo que ya esta llegando a su límite de uso, me sorprende ya que lo usé/uso muchísimo, desde programar, trabajar y jugar varios juegos diferentes. Hasta el momento tiene esto el teclado: - La tecla X, A y 1 a veces se escriben 2-3 veces con una presión, a veces si escribe bien o simplemente no lo detecta.Y oh sorpresa, nada más eso, es uno de los teclados más duraderos que he tenido por el uso que le he dado. Un gran teclado, ya lo voy a sustituir dentro de unos meses, talvez en diciembre. Sigo recomendándolo.DD/MM/AAAA***08/14/2020 - Si, Agosto 14 del 2020

I love this keyboard from the typing and to the use for gaming. I ordered the keyboard with the cherry mx silver/speed switches and they are exactly what they sound like. These switches feel way more responsive and a lot faster than any other switches i have tried out (due to its short actuation length). The cherry mx silvers paired with the pbt keycaps give this keyboard a very unique feel and sound compared to other keyboards with ABS plastic keycaps.The keyboard is also great for gaming, having the cherry mx speeds/silvers, i feel like the key presses are a lot faster compared to other keyboards i have tried with other switches like: mx blues, and browns. However, because the switches have a shorter actuation length i found myself making more mistakes, however with a little practice i have been typing pretty fast if i do say so myself (compared to the speed that i type on other keyboards with different switches).The only thing i didnt like about the keyboard is the fact that there are different keyboard layouts that you can use. For example control(left)+function key+Q sets the keyboard to the QWERTY key layout (the default layout) but other function control key combinations can set the keyboard to a different layout. I had some trouble with this sometimes because when i play csgo, I use the control for walk and i use Q to switch weapons and i accidentally hit the function key and it messed me up big time.Overall, this keyboard is fantastic!!!!!! (also the keycaps dont really pick up oils or anything from your fingers, well at least for me because i wash my hands before i used my keyboard)

I have a Ducky Shine 3 with Cherry MX Browns for my gaming PC at home with ABS keycaps. After having this keyboard for a while and using it exclusively for work, I am very tempted to go and buy the PBT Vortex Keycaps for my gaming PC. The PBT keycaps have a different feel than using the standard ABS keycaps that come with most of the keyboards. They feel sturdier and higher quality. I also wanted to increase my typing speed and dampen some of the bottom-out sound while working in cubicle land at work. I don't think the others around me wanted to hear a lot of clicking or I may have gone with the MX Blue Switches.I bought and installed the WASD Blue 40A-R O-rings on this keyboard which took like an hour or so to remove all they keycaps and install them. It noticeably reduced the bottom-out sound and reduced the switch actuation distance which actually helped me increase my typing speeds. I would recommend the O-rings if you do a lot of typing, want to increase speed, want less finger fatigue, and want a slightly reduced noise.(For the MX-Brown version)Pro's:-Thick PBT Keycaps - Sturdy, heavier, well-made-Perfect and stealthy as there are no flashy gaming lights, etc. I work in a professional office space and no one even notices my keyboard is different than their boring dell membrane keyboards - also so no one would want to steal it-Cherry MX Browns are great for the office work environment. They are way less annoying and clicky than the Cherry MX Blue or Green switches-Typing on it feels great (as do all keyboards with MX Browns) and I should have gotten a mechanical keyboard for my office sooner. I increased my average words per minute by at least 10 WPM after the O-ring mod.Con's:-The bright white lights for the NumLock/CapsLock/Scroll Lock/etc are SUPER bright and actually kind of annoying. I may even put some black electrical tape over it because it is that bright. At the price point for real Cherry MX Browns and PBT keycaps though, this is not worth knocking off a star.-The manual could be done better and made more clear. The 'Macro-programming' was actually difficult to figure out because there is no back lighting on this keyboard. I had to watch a youtube video showing how to use the keyboard Macros from a different Cooler-master keyboard (and it still wasn't easy)Final thoughts: It was a good buy for the price compared to most other mechanical keyboards if you aren't looking for flashy or gamer. I actually prefer this keyboard now over my Ducky Shine 3 with ABS keycaps. Genuine Cherry MX switches, PBT keycaps, you can't really go wrong.

I ordered the keyboard and received from Amazon Global Store. First of all the delivery quality was less than ideal. The outer box was missing. All the shipping label was stuck to main box and there was no protective covering on the original product box.After opening the box, many of keys were coming out loose. But when I pressed the spacebar, it was the end of it. Its spacebar was worse than cheapest keyboard I have ever seen. It has the worst stabilizers on any keyboard. It sounds horrible.My suggestion, do NOT buy this.
