If you are into gaming then you may be already aware of cooler master. They are very popular for making PSU units and other gaming accessories. Personally I own a cooler master PSU for my computer and I am very satisfied with its performance.
#INBOX CONTENTS:
-Keyboard
-User manual
I bought this keyboard last week from amazon. Basically Cooler Master Devastator 2 is a Mem-chanical keyboard which feels like a mechanical keyboard. If you bought the combo version you will also get a mouse with this KB. This KB is LED backlit with single ,so you cannot change it. It is available in Red,blue and green LED versions. Just like the KB ,the mouse also uses single color LEDs.(mouse comes with combo version only)
#KEYBOARD :
The construction is done completely in plastic ,the quality seems very good. There isn't any metal frame like we see in mechanical keyboards but still it offers great resistance to bends.The keys are Cherry MX compatible so you can easily replace or customize it. There are few multimedia keys at the top which really stands out and are very accessible. In terms of its overall appearance, it is one of the most attractive keyboard available in this range.The edges and corners were rounded or angled rather than square and sharp, it may have been an improvement but as this is a 'compact' rather than standard size, and dimensions may be restricting design options.
The keys aren't as clicky as a mechanical keyboard but are far better than normal memchannel keyboards. The travel distance between keys are very similar to mechanical keyboards making the typing experience pleasurable. It isn't the quietest of you the keyboard ,it does make some mushy click sound ,but nowhere as loud as mechanical keyboards.There is a 4cm wide wrist rest available ,which at first seems little smaller but after a few hours you will get used to it.
I bought the RED LED version. The keys are semi transparent ,so with the LEDs ON you can easily see the key letters at night time. . As is now popular, the keys are black (more very deep grey) as is the board's deck. Without the back lighting, and in less bright room illumination, the key labeling may be otherwise difficult to read. As claimed by the brand these keys offer a whopping 12 million click life cycle which is just amazing.
#MOUSE:(Only in combo purchase)
The mouse is also made of plastic ,matte finish on top and sides are rubberized for better grip and comfort .The mouse is quite longer than normal mouse so the gaming experience is much better. Even if you are left handed you can easily use it. The left click and right click buttons provides good clicky feedback while the side "back and forward" buttons are little mushy to press. You can easily customize the DPI from 1000dpi to 2000 dpi.
The only thing that really lets this mouse down though is the wheel. It has become quite squeaky which can be very annoying, and if my hands get sweaty playing games on hot days my fingers have a tendency to slip on the mouse wheel. Anyway that isn't anything to worry about.
#All of the gaming keyboards I own have braided wires but sadly this gaming combo features a normal silicon coated cords which doesn't seem as durable as a braided cable.
#GAMING WITH THIS KB
I love playing GTA V ,FIFA AND COD ADVANCED WARFARE ,I tested all the three games with this keyboard and I have to say that its a pleasure to play games on this keyboard. In COD you can easily control the view and aim using the mouse you get with the combo version. The feedback the buttons provide is perfect ,you can easily know when a keypress is registered. Also the keys are perfectly spaced so you will not end up pressing wrong keys.
CONCLUSION
Overall very good value for money and highly recommended for anyone working on a budget.This KB from cooler master proves to be a perfect alternative for a mechanical keyboard ,if you cannot afford one.. Ofcourse you can get gaming keyboards at much cheaper price but if you want something from a reputed brand ,then definitely go for this combo.I just wish I could brighten the led's ,anyway that isn't the case.
Thanks for reading my review ,I hope it helps. For any further assistance please comment down below.
