Cooler Master has announced under their CM Storm brand the new Quickfire Ultimate mechanical keyboard that is a full size and completely back lit gaming keyboard. You will have the option of getting Cherry MX blue, red, or brown switches. Cooler Master is touting this as the most complete and featured packed mechanical gaming keyboard in the Quickfire line. Currently according to Cooler Master’s website the CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate keyboard is available in the US only from Amazon for $99.09 but I would suspect that Newegg and other retailers will pick it up later on. Looks like Cooler Master has released a keyboard to compete with its own CM Storm Trigger series in my opinion.
