It pays to ensure no important windows are in focus when the next steps are performed! Turn on Fn lock by pressing down Fn for 2 seconds.

However, the printed user guide I received did not tell me how to do this. Should the machine play nice with NKRO (N-key rollover, so that more than 6 keys can be pressed with all of them registering), it can be enabled. The TK defaults to 6KRO (6-key rollover, which registers a maximum of six keys at once, even when more are depressed) for maximum compatibility with most PCs and Macs. This can be performed with the Fn key either depressed or locked (by holding down Fn for 2 seconds until its LED illuminates). The F5– F11 keys double as multimedia shortcuts for play, pause, skip, mute, and volume up/dn. To me, it is not an issue and does not seem jarringly out of place with the overall design ethos. Still, most of the letters and numerals are not over-the-top. The only element that could raise an eyebrow would be the futuristic Gamecuben typeface used for the keys. The QuickFire TK takes a low-key approach to its appearance its all-black finish with dark grey logos fits right into any office. Of course, the backlighting can be turned off, but not entirely (see the entry in ‘Cons’). Five brightness levels cover a versatile range for a wide variety of situations, and there are three modes (constant/breathing/WASD). The lighting is nice and even, and none of the LEDs has failed so far. The two combine to form a purple underglow. The MX Blue and MX Red variants come with blue and red backlighting respectively thankfully, the Brown has a more neutral white backlighting with a brown background under the keycaps. The USB cable is of the mini-USB variety, and can be routed underneath in three ways that should take care of most scenarios. The ABS keycaps do the job without fuss and are topped with an anti-slip coating, which does reduce the incidence of skidding fingertips the case itself sports a velvety rubberised coat that reassures the user when carrying the TK. An embedded steel plate delivers a rock-solid typing experience. Included in the box are a detachable USB cable, plastic ring keycap puller and a CD-sized user guide (with missing documentation and some incorrect information - for instance, the board weighs 800 gm, not 544 gm). The TK is 377.5 mm wide - a mere 18.5 mm more than CM’s tenkeyless Rapid-i. Personally, I also find it the fastest board on which to type, having owned others with MX Blues/Blacks/Reds and Topre 45cN switches. With its tactile, luxurious feedback, low actuation force, and relatively quiet operation, it helps avoid fatigue over long typing sessions while blending in well into my office environment - not a single co-worker has complained to date. The SGK-4020-GKCM1 is the QuickFire TK variant with Cherry MX Brown switches. In fact, a co-worker was so charmed by the TK that she immediately ordered one, and it now accompanies her all the time. At just 1.8 cm (0.8 inches) wider than an equivalent tenkeyless model, the QuickFire TK retains the functionality of a full-sized keyboard while adding a few ingenious touches of its own, thanks to its clever integration of the num pad and navigation keys. There, a numeric pad is indispensable, while the space saved by removing the navigation keys makes the TK almost as small as a TKL (tenkeyless). This mechanical board with illuminated keys, introduced in 2013, was purchased some months ago for my workplace. Welcome to my review of Cooler Master's QuickFire TK.
