The Masterkeys Pro L is a gaming keyboard with standard layout belonging to the vendors new Masterkeys series. At the moment the Masterkeys line-up features two types of keyboards: full-size standard layout and a compact-size (ten-key-less without numpad). The Masterkeys Pro L is physically very similar to the Quickfire XTi, which we've reviewed quite some time ago. There are no additional macro or multimedia buttons and it does not take as much space on the desk as other high-end keyboard do. Especially at LAN parties this can be an advantage, since space at such events is always limited.
The Masterkeys Pro L is a mechanical keyboard and it is available on the market with CherryMX Brown, Red and Blue switches. Our sample is based on CherryMX Browns which provide great tactile feedback. The main feature of the Masterkeys Pro L is its backlight. It is fully fully customizable even without the software. At the top are three buttons allowing you to selection the different color channels, red/green/blue. This way you can mix the color you want easily. In addition there are a few pre-configured backlight modes giving you some special effects.

Back

If you lift the Masterkeys Pro L up and flip it you will understand how robust it actually is. The build quality is on an extraordinarily high level. Even hardcore gamers (famous for destroying one keyboard after another) will enjoy that this particular model will last for a long time. Regarding connectivity, Cooler Master decided to use a black USB 2.0 cable, which is removable and sleeved.
