CM MasterKeys Pro S
« on: Tue, 15 August 2017, 16:27:59 »
Hey guys. A while back I was remembering the keyboard I liked a lot CM Storm Quickfire back in the days and was pretty popular here. Well yesterday I saw (I just found out it existed) a CM Masterkeys Pro S at a discount and went for it. I was wondering, what is the size of the left shift key if anyone knows and if GMK sets etc will work with it?

I don't care for this whole RGB LED stuff it comes with lol.

The MasterKeys Pro S has a standard layout — you will not have any compatibility issues with standard third party keysets.

See  :thumb:

Word of caution... these boards have upside down mounted switches (to put leds up top for better light on legends).  Because of this there is a TINY issue with R3 keys (caps lock row) not completely bottoming out with cherry profile keycaps (GMK & enjoy PBT). You won't have issues with OEM (what comes on board), DCS (tai hao/ducky keycaps), DSA (pimpmykeybaord), or SA.

I never had that issue maybe because the leds on mine are smds?

Yeah, I didn't have that issue with mine either, also using SMDs. I wonder if someone can confirm the difference somehow.

It's very slight.  I'm super picky though
