Cooler Master CK552 Gaming Mechanical Keyboard

Oooh, it has gateron switches! So what?! I did give it 2 stars because the key switches feel really nice and that's the ONLY good thing about it. The keys are slightly too small for my taste, Some people claimed it had bigger keys and since I have motor issues I was glad to see that. Not even close to the truth. That I can get used to. What I can't get used to are the glitches in the software and the persisted bugs in the hardware itself! If you lock the keyboard (which I have to do a lot) with the Function F9 combo, DO NOT hit any other function combo or Function F9 will stop working altogether and you'll have to unplug the keyboard to be able to unlock it again. But then you lose all of the customizations you've set which is normal for some programmable keyboards, but here's where CM's brain cells quit working: To choose a profile, you CANNOT just choose it, you have to click "import", navigate to where the profiles are stored in explorer, then open that. Sometimes not even that works! What is the point of showing 5 profiles if clicking any of them does NOTHING but open up your file browser where the profile are stored? And get this, I restored defaults on one profile and suddenly ALL of my profiles were reset even though I hadn't reset them (they were all copies of my preferred profile). I had to keep unplugging the keyboard, "switching" profiles over and over before the other profiles became available again. After a month I noticed that randomly and with RAPIDLY increasing frequency, every key I'd press kept repeating when I typed. I couldn't even type this review on this keyboard! And it often backspaces over whole sentences I've written. It JUST NOW erased 3 whole lines I'd just typed!!!!! I kept thinking it was a Windows 10 issue, but it does NOT affect other keyboards. This happens in browsers and in word processors, so it's not the system. I plugged in another keyboard and this issue did not exist. I then plugged them both in at the same time and only the CM keyboard had this behavior. Even after fully uninstalling the CM software the issue persists, meaning that the hardware itself is total garbage! Coolermaster was glad to do an RMA though I had to pay for shipping. Took about a week to get it back, so good on them. BTW I didn't know this at the time and ended up paying over $20 to ship it back. But anything electronic or digital can be shipped for only $12! You just have to make sure the shipper chooses the electronic option when choosing how to ship this. I've had other Cooler Master products and none of them lived up to the hype either. My $15 Kolomax keyboards have lasted a long time and are much more comfortable to type and play games on. Too bad so many sellers are price-gouging on it now (supply chain is not an issue with this keyboard). It doesn't have macros or light up individual keys but it WORKS flawlessly. I will never invest in an expensive and WAY overpriced keyboard ever again.
