Cooler Master MasterKeys Lite Review

When you are building a gaming PC one of the last pieces of hardware you really think about is the keyboard and mouse. Getting a decent keyboard and mouse at a good price is not that easy as both of these accessories can add another $200 on to the total cost of your build. We have seen inexpensive gaming combos in the past, Cooler Master actually sent us their Devastator II gaming combo not that long ago. Today they are releasing the MasterKeys Lite, which also gives you a gaming-grade keyboard and mouse in one package much like the Devastator II. Cooler Master is stepping things up with the Master Keys Lite which has a much better keyboard with zoned RGB backlighting, a more solid design, and Cooler Master mem-chanical switches. The mouse features an infrared Avago 3050 sensor, Omron switches, and two-zoned RGB lighting. At $59.99 this combo seems to be the perfect thing for a gamer on a budget, let’s take a look.

Special thanks to Cooler Master for providing us with the Master MasterKeys Lite to review.

Packaging
The box that the MasterKeys Lite comes in is not much larger than the two products themselves. On the front there is a picture of both products and it lets us know that the keyboard is RGB and features Cooler Master’s mem-chanical switches.

Flipping the retail box over to the back there is a list of features in quite a lot of different languages and a visual overview of the keyboard itself and the mem-chanical keys.

Getting everything out of the box you have the keyboard, mouse, and a user’s guide.
