Thank you for your kind words. My reviews are currently on hiatus for work related reasons. In the future I hope to write more, I do enjoy it.
I leave a leave a response each time I especially enjoy a post on a site or if
I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright.
And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to keep up
I have something to contribute to the conversation.
It’s caused by the passion displayed in the post I looked at. And on this post Cooler Master Trigger Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | TechREACTION. I was moved enough to drop a thought
Is it just me or does it look like like some of the comments look like left by brain dead folks?
with you. Could you list every one of all your public pages like your
Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
I believe the article side of the site is wordpress based, the forums are based on vBulletin®.
At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Thanks for finally writing about >Cooler Master Trigger Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | TechREACTION <Loved it!
Hey! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, TheInternet.
The keys on the CM Storm QuickFire are laser engraved keycaps. I just compared the two boards up close, and the keys appear identical to the CM Store Trigger. So I am quite sure they are laser.
Thank you for your kind words. Look for my reviews, I will always try to answer any questions!
More than helpful. Thanks again for the up-close images. They should be featured in the article IMO.
After looking at the keys again, I am still not sure. I have attached two close up images. The keys are a translucent plastic that is coated. I am not sure if it is dye sub, or ink.
What I did do is scratch at the F1 key with a dime. I can tell you it took a few deliberate, scratches to chip through the dye sub or ink. I hope I was helpful

Okay, thanks for the fast response and answer in advance!
Hey there!
I believe they are Dye Sublimation or Laser, I will take a closer look and get back to you. I know they are not Injection Molded and I don’t think they were Pad printed.
Great review for a keyboard so new! Keep up the good work. I did, however, have a question about the keys that was not addressed in your article… Do you know if the letters on the key caps laser engraved? Thanks!
I’m getting dyslexic on you guys. :p
It out it is now fixed.
