CM Storm Trigger Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Cooler Master have been a major player in the PC industry for around 20 years and in that time have been responsible for some stand out cases, PSUs and coolers. The Wavemaster and Cosmos are two examples which really stand out and both are cases which had great appeal for enthusiast gamers as pretty much any high end system of the time could be built in them.

Building on their gaming expertise Cooler Master launched the CM Storm range a few years ago, regularly releasing products which would appeal to enthusiast and pro gamers. One of the latest products to reach the market under this brand is the Trigger mechanical keyboard and that is the focus of our review today.

Packaging and Bundle

Our sample of the Trigger arrived in a plain box but the retail packaging is shown above and features a nice clear image of the product. There is also plenty of feature and specification information on each side to assist the consumer.

Opening up the box we find the keyboard wrapped in a foam bag and suspended in blocks with cardboard sections at the top and bottom.


Our review sample arrived with one bundled item, a braided USB cable with gold plated connectors. For the drivers/software, regardless of whether retail models ship with a disc, we suggest the latest version is downloaded from the CM Storm website.
