There are some gamers out there that cringe at the thought of over designed gaming peripherals and will naturally opt for a more plain/sleek aesthetic with a minimal fuss setup. Though looking at the choices, they may equally feel left in the dark in regards to contemporary features such as programmable per-key back lighting and macros. This is where the CM Quick Fire XTi locks on to.

Available with Cherry MX switches in Red, Blue or Brown that are set in a minimalistic, heavy duty body the Quick Fire XTi offers more than meets the eye, considering it is a driverless plug & play keyboard. The customisable per-key lighting uses just the red/blue LEDs to create a palette of 35 colours, on top of that, there is an on-board macro recording feature too which can be saved across 4 profiles.
