INTRODUCTION
The CM Storm Mech is the first mechanical keyboard from the new Aluminum series
performance peripherals by Cooler Master. This mechanical keyboard has been built
with the combined strength of durability, utility, capability, and style. This manual is here
to help make you comfortable with both your mechanical keyboard, its available
software and to ensure you are getting the most out of what the keyboard has to offer.
Cooler Master has a strong history with aluminum. Thanks to case lines like the
Cosmos or ATCS, we are very comfortable with aluminum and we know how to form it
into high quality designs and high quality products. That same attitude is being brought
into the CM Storm line with the Aluminum series of peripherals. We’re combining both
form and function to make something fantastic.
We want to make sure you have the best hardware available to you. The Mech comes
with three options of the popular Cherry MX mechanical switches: Blue, Brown, and
Red. These switches are rated for millions of key presses and offer the mechanical
functionality suited to your needs. With a tough and gorgeous aluminum shell, 64-key
rollover, a USB 3.0 and audio/microphone hub, the Mech offers powerful and
convenient features.
The CM Storm Mech software is robust. Almost every single key on the Mech is
customizable to be everything from standard keyboard functions to opening programs to
fully programmed macros. You can save up to five button and macro profiles to be
active on the keyboard, easily switching with a button combination or in the software so
you can have your custom setups for whichever game or spreadsheet you’re working on.
