However, the inconvenient placement of this button made these secondary functions more trouble than they"re worth most of the time.Ī few of the keys, such as Caps Lock, also lack the capacity to light up. A Function button on the bottom right shifts the F1-F12 keys into alternate features, such as controlling media or fine-tuning backlighting. Using the Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor test, we knocked out 111 words per minute with a zero percent error rate, compared to the 106 words per minute and 1 percent error rate we got on our standard Dell office keyboard.ĭue to the keyboard"s small size, many of its keys pull double-duty. That said, the peripheral is phenomenal when it comes to typing. Our fingers knocked together on a regular basis, and it took us some time to adjust. However, with 3.3-millimeter key travel, we found them to be a bit cramped for our taste. The keys themselves have a slightly matted texture and light indentations, ensuring that our fingers never went astray. This variety is always welcome, as it"s better than being locked into one key type. Whether users prefer the soft touch of the Reds, the springy feedback of the Browns, the satisfying resistance of the Blues, or the old-school typewriter feel of the Greens, there"s a QuickFire Rapid Tenkeyless to suit your preferences. We reviewed the Cherry MX Brown model, which combines a springy feel with relatively quiet typing. The QuickFire Rapid Tenkeyless offers a choice of just about every Cherry MX switch on the market.

We found that the kickstands that prop up the keyboard left it at a fairly extreme, but comfortable, angle. We found some of the pulsing options to be grating, but the breadth of selections is impressive. The illumination options are surprisingly granular, ranging from solid, to pulsating, to lighting up only after users strike a key. You can adjust both the keyboard"s brightness and its style of backlighting. Those who need to hunt for keys may also be pleased to note that the QuickFire Rapid Tenkeyless is backlit with a white light that ranges from eye-searing to almost nonexistent, depending on settings. If saving space is your primary objective, it"s hard to find a more compact gaming keyboard. Compare that to larger keyboards, such as the Logitech G710+, which measures 20.0 x 8.7 inches, or the Corsair Vengeance K95, which is a whopping 21.5 x 9.6 inches and can weigh up to 3 pounds. The QuickFire Rapid Tenkeyless is small and light, measuring only 14.1 x 5.4 inches and weighing 2.05 pounds.
