CoolerMaster CK721 - A 65% three mode wireless keyboard with a knob that just missed the mark...
Channel: MechTech Keyboards
Date: 2022-11-24

Today I take a look at a keyboard that looks nice on paper, but was completely disappointing in reality. From the older PCB (Who uses 4 pin LED through switch RGB LEDs anymore? This format is years old and completely unfriendly to modifying), to the hollow case, and the super thin "aircraft grade" aluminum top, to the removable door that stores the 2.4g dongle loosely and also hides a latch to remove the top cover, after you remove a couple of columns of keys on the right side. 

I've used CoolerMaster products when building PCs for over two decades, and have always been satisfied with their products, but this keyboard fails to hit the spot on so many line items, and with an MSRP of $109.99, it's ludicrous that they even think this "kit" is worth that much. 

When I compile the top ten worse keyboards I reviewed this past year, this one will be quite high on that list.

Go back to the drawing board CoolerMaster and for goodness sake, get a user panel so you can receive and incorporate feedback from mechanical keyboard users, then maybe you'll have a product worthy of your brand, as this "keyboard" completely detracts from it.
