Unboxing

Thought and Verdict
Cooler Master Storm Suppressor is a membrane keyboard , i really impress with the quality of its membrane it feel responsive and stiff which is good because you do not want your keyboard feel mushy when pressed . The stiffness of the membrane give a tactile feedback good for typist but not for gaming , i prefer a linear feeling which only exist in mechanical keyboard :-) .
The wrist/palm rest is well build even its made of hard plastic but it feel comfortable , the height of it just right for my hand .
after a week testing and torturing with 8+hour of BF4 and 3+hour of O2jam everyday , the membrane key still feel the same the stiffness still exist . this proof that Cooler Master use a high quality of membrane for this keyboard , but for longer period it will lose its stiffness and begin to feel mushy when pressed .
The backlit is pretty bright and has a 3 mode of brightness . CM Storm Suppressor only available in white LED .
Today multi-media control key is a must on every keyboard , this will help alot for those who want to control their media instantly . Forward , backward , pause and stop can be use instantly without the help of FN key (located above the keypad) , but to lower your media volume you need the FN key
My day playing with macros already end , back then 5 year ago when i was WoW player using macro is a must , but now i really don’t know what to do with these macro key . There is no software include so you have to record your macro manually using the instruction CM give in their packaging -:
Cooler Master just update their website http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/keyboards/suppressor/ , now you can manage your Macro with the software included by Cooler Master on the download section

bro, the detachable cable using micro or mini-USB type?
Mini USB :-)
OK, thx..
do you know another gaming full-keyboard (w/ numpad) that using micro-USB detachable cable?
budget around below $100 (RM330)? :(
for that range of price i could recommend CM quickfire or CM Mech Alluminium
both of them is mechanical keyboard which is better than dome keyboard
