Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro S RGB Mechanical Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-10-01

Masterkeys Pro S RGB is an interesting TKL keyboard from Cooler Master that was thought with on-the-fly capabilities from the start (for both LED and Macro setups). Quality is ensured by using original CHERRY MX switches (Brown, Blue or Red), comes with a preset Polling Rate of 1000Hz, while the included 512KB of storage helps creating up to four separate profiles. Masterkeys Pro S also comes with the possibility to set up the RGB lighting system via software, so we do have a downloadable utility from the website; the said utility will also update the firmware on the peripheral, with just a mouse click.

A Closer Look Part II

As we have said before, this model comes with plenty of double-function keys in order to perform quite a bit of tasks, without the need of extra software. F1-F3 keys do allow adjusting the Red/Green/Blue color levels (0-9), while the F4 key helps us switching between different LED light setups:

Keystrokes can be repeated up to 8x times by working with the F5-F8 keys:

The F9 key helps with the Windows Lock, F10 does record a LED backlight setup, with F11 we can record Macros on-the-fly, while with F12 we can delete the previously recorded macros:

Macro-related keys are also available with Prt Scr/Scr Lk/Pause keys (Single Macro Loop, Repeat Macro, Infinite Macro loop):

The set of 6-keys do come with multimedia controls:

In the left and right sides of the Spacebar, we can find custom Cooler Master keys:

Numbers from 1 to 4 do actually have a third function which is profile switching:

Here are also some views of the keyboard laterals; no extra USB hubs or audio ports are to be found here:
