Hi everyone, I had a question about the CM Storm Quickfire TK. Its a interesting layout therefore I have questions. So when Num Lock is turned on, it basically acts as a number pad obviously.
However when its turned off, when does the enter and + key button act as? What does the the number 1 and 3 key act as. Do they stay the same? Or can you assign them to act as different keys, that would be very useful for mmorpg gaming for me. Sorry this might be confusing but thank you guys!.

There was some controversy a while back about the numpad enter in particular. In old boards, it gets disabled when the arrow keys are enabled. In newer boards, it remains functional as an enter key. If you're buying new, they should all be the latter by now. If you're buying used, have it tested first. I don't know about the other three keys, as I've never used a TK.
Point of interest about the TK: I hear that it's much lower build quality than the other CM boards. Just in case that factors into your decision at all.

lol yea I read up on that. It's funny cause now the enter key is enabled even if num lock is off and i wanted it disabled ahaha oh well still thinking about getting it. I don't want to make a new thread so i was wondering if there was a third party software or something that allows you to disable keys, thanks.

Never used it, but that's the functionality it purports.
