Conclusion

General + -
Despite its compact dimensions and the lack of special features like macro keys, this is a well-designed and ergonomic keyboard. The coating on the individual keycaps is great and the CherryMX switches provide precise tactile feedback. We particularly enjoyed the presence of a keypuller inside the box. Despite being a rather basic and cheap piece of accessory it is a great help if you want to remove the individual keycaps.   - Weight
- Bundle
 
Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics   + -
From the ergonomics point of view, the keyboard is comfortable to use, but a wrist rest would be appreciated. The Quick Fire XTi gaming keyboard has a standard size and it is ideal for all those gamers who frequently visit LAN parties or do not wish the keyboard to take up to much space on their desk. Despite the fact that this is a gaming keyboard, the Quick Fire XTi doesn't offer any special button or macro keys, there are only a few buttons with two functions. The build quality and the materials used is simply excellent. Last but not least, we really like the grip and the coating of the individual keycaps. The design is a subjective aspect, but we think that the mixable dual color blue and red LED backlighting is an interesting choice since you can change the colors on the fly without any extra software. The backlight is clear and you can choose from different modes without and trouble.   - Build quality

Recommendation / Price   + -
The starting price of the Quick Fire XTi on Geizhals is about 145 euro excluding shipping costs. In terms of value, the keyboard is certainly a very good product with attractive features and mechanical switches but the price, however, is definitely steep.     - Price
 
Rating
We gave the Quick Fire XTi from CM Storm 4 out of 5 stars.
