Title: CM MasterKeys Pro S
Post by: DuckNorris 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.

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
