Cooler Master today has just launched its latest gaming keyboard, the CK721 which was designed to save space on your desk and keep you comfortable while gaming. Specifically your wrists. Sitting at your desk for long periods of time, whether it’s working from or home or playing games, tends to take a bit of a toll on you.
And that’s where the CK721 shines. Thanks to the included wrist rest you can be sure your wrists aren’t scraping against the edges of your desk and causing discomfort. The wrist rest is simply a nice bonus though. The real star features of this new keyboard are its portability and versatility.
The Cooler Master CK721 comes is perfect for PC and mobile
Cooler Master says the CK721 is using a hybrid wireless technology that makes it ideal for PC gaming and general PC use. As well as with mobile devices running Android and iOS.
As far as layouts go the CK721 looks like your typical 65% keyboard. With condensed keys that are doubled up to fit everything into a smaller space. What helps it stand out though from other similar options is the multi-function dial. With the dial you can adjust anything from media volume to brightness. And you can even cycle LED effects and skip tracks.
Other notable features include RGB per key backlighting, and a two-step kickstand for variable height adjustment. There’s also a switch on the right side that swaps between low-latency wireless, USB, and Bluetooth modes.
Additionally, you can snag the keyboard with Blue, Brown, or Red switches. And it comes two colors – Gunmetal and Silver White.
As with all wireless keyboards one of the most important factors is going to be battery life. Cooler Master says this can last for up to 72 hours on a single charge. Although that is without the LED backlighting on. Still, that’s almost double the amount of battery life on something like the Logitech G915 TKL which lasts for up to 40 hours.
So think of it this way. What you’re giving up in keyboard space, you’re sort of getting back in battery life. You can buy the Cooler Master CK721 on Amazon right now, with prices set at $119.99 for the Blue and Brown switch model, and $124.99 for the Red switch model.
