14 DAY TRIAL // Normally, a backlight for a keyboard can be switched on an off, or has some “regions” that can be controlled that way, maybe even change the color, but Cooler Master took things a bit further when it made the Quick Fire Rapid-i.
The company didn't implement more than one color, but it didn't go with the “normal” yellow, blue, green or red lights either.
Instead, it used white backlighting and made it possible to control each individual LEDs separately.
There's another nifty effect too, thanks to ActivLite technology: each time you press a key, the backlight fades out softly when you move your finger to the next one.
A 32-bit ARM processor had to be included in the design in order to make everything work.
Add to that the non-glossy matte soft-touch finish and you have a pretty nifty piece of equipment, albeit one without the numpad.
Maybe a Tizona can be bought and used alongside it, even though it can't attach to it.
Moving on, the Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid-i keyboard has five standard LED modes, four LED profiles that can be programmed and stored on-board. Finally, Cooler Master used Cherry MX Switches.
Sadly, the company didn't include the price of the Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid-i keyboard in its press release.
