Cooler Master Launches Mechanical Keyboards with Enthusiast PBT Keycaps

Cooler Master Launches Mechanical Keyboards with Enthusiast PBT Keycaps

Cooler Master announced the launch of two new keyboards, the MasterKeys S and MasterKeys L. Both additions come fully equipped with Genuine Cherry MX switches, on-the-fly- adjustment capabilities, iconic minimalistic bezel design, and PBT keycaps.

The MasterKeys PBT series is everything you like about the MasterKeys line, enhanced for a superior typing experience. It has the build-in hybrid N-key rollover, and genuine German Cherry MX switches we all know and love for their durability, accuracy, and tactile satisfaction. Cooler Master has added extra thick 1.5mm PBT keycaps, the king of all keycaps. Wear and tear, smoothing, or fading of keys are a thing of the past thanks to these durable PBT keycaps. And for the gamers out there, there is a pack of 7 extra red keycaps included to accent the 'gaming' keys. Additionally, with Cooler Master's exclusive on-the-fly system, you can switch layouts, from QWERTY, Dvorak or Wokrman and even switchable OS Modifiers from Windows, Mac or Linux. All through the use of simple On-the-Fly key shortcuts that do not require supplemental software.

PBT Keycaps
Built to withstand even the fastest of fingers, the keycaps on these boards are injection molded, double laser-etched, and fiber reinforced. They are resistant to solvents, mechanically strong and do not "shine" like traditional ABS keycaps tend to do over time. With these, you won't have to worry about wear and tear due to sweaty fingers and with the 50 million keystrokes provided through its Cherry MX switches, this keyboard is sure to last years of marathon gaming. The MasterKeys L and S are ideal choices for gamers and heavy typers.

Availability:
The MasterKeys S PBT and MasterKeys L PBT will be available end of June, respectively for, €99 for the tenkeyless and €109.

Hopefully the rest of the companies selling keyboards will jump on the PBT bandwagon and drive down prices for individual sets :nerd:.

I bought a nice mechanical keyboard (XArmor U9W), but wound up bringing it to work for typing duty: my 2004 Microsoft Bluetooth membrane keyboard is still my favorite for gaming. None of the key caps are worn out (though they definitely have the shine mentioned in the story).

Are membrane keyboards known for short lifetimes? Maybe I got lucky. Is key cap wear actually a thing? The ad copy makes it sound like this is some sort of plague. I think I've seen one or two keyboards ever with actual key cap wear (where you couldn't see the symbol), and these were the cheap HP/Dell things that came pre-bundled with computer packages at work, but even that was many years ago.

I had to trash several membrane keyboards over the years cause of the most used keys getting worn out.
Never had one where the letters on the caps where worn down though.
My old Corsair K70 doesn't want to break down though, best keyboard I ever bought, so the day it dies I will get another mechanical keyboard.

Which reminds me, got an old spring loaded IBM keyboard which also still works, but it's pretty noisy compared to my Corsairs MX red switches.
