About this deal

The shorter keys on the right, including Shift, Alt, and Ctrl did trip me up a few times when I was pressing key combinations, but it was also something I had to get used to.

The threshold value can be changed to a different percent if you would like to change the 15% default value using Cooler Master’s MasterPlus+ software. All three keyboards have a lot of the same features and build quality, but CK721 offers features like swappable aluminum faceplate(s), PlayStation and Xbox support, and the ability to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or over a 2. The 2mm actuation point was the caveat in games like Warzone and Apex Legends, as we struggled to make the quick moves we needed during active shootouts. Not sure if it was the board or placebo effect, but I had climbed a lot in Valorant and Apex Legends competitive play since switching to the CK721.

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). On an aside, the original usage of ghosting in keyboards actually referred to a third key being registered when two other keys were pressed, which thankfully is not a problem with most modern keyboards. Under this tab users can choose to import or export saved macros, record actions to create new macros, or quick assign a macro function.

During testing the keyboard offered consistent performance whether wired or wireless and its 65% size also makes it an ideal travel companion for anyone who wants a dependable keyboard on the road. These two factors make the CK721 feel a bit less premium despite its good appearances and material choices. The Cooler Master CK721 comes with a choice between three Cherry MX key switches: Red, Brown, and Blue.

The combo with the wonderful switches and comfy wrist rest made my long grinding sessions more bearable—as my wrist would usually hurt a lot after two or three games.

During testing the CK721 with RGB LEDs turned on lasted approximately 40-42 hours with moderate use. The CK721 is built to last, with a thoughtful design that’s equal parts minimalistic and rugged, with an aluminum top plate that is easily removable for customization or easy access for maintenance. In broad daylight, this is not as big of a deal, but in darker environments, the uneven lighting may affect legibility of the front legends.Pairing Cooler Master’s CK721 with DeX allows you to have a full desktop computing experience whether you are at the office, at home, or on the road. It seems like every manufacturer is trying to hit the popular compact-semi-custom-keyboard-with-a-rotary-dial niche these days, from the over-the-top Asus ROG Azoth to the utilitarian G. While we have yet to test those two keyboards, other reviews point to those estimates being very accurate. The simplicity but attention to what makes a mechanical board great was carefully thought out with an extra sprinkle of ergonomics in mind. Collecting the old product which is officially counted as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
