==Introduction==
The '''CM Storm QuickFire XT''' is a full size keyboard with integrated [[Numeric keypad|numpad]] and  that is produced by [[Cooler Master]]'s peripheral division [[Cooler Master#CM Storm|CM Storm]] and is a part of their "QuickFire" line of mechanical keyboards.

==Description==
The '''CM Storm QuickFire XT''' has inverse-T [[cursor keys]] and a [[numeric keypad]].

It has [[NKRO|''n''-key rollover]] over PS/2 and 6-key rollover over USB.

==Features==
[[File:CM Storm Accessories.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Included accessories]]
The '''CM Storm QuickFire XT''' comes standard with a braided, detachable, USB-to-USB cable (1.8 m / 71 inches long) with gold-plated connectors. The polling rate is 1000 Hz / 1 ms. The bottom has rear standoffs and four rubber feets.

The keycaps are made of black [[ABS]] plastic which are "grip" and UV coated, and with a futuristic font used for the keycaps' legends.

The basic media keys (volume-up, down, mute, play/pause, forward, back and media stop), are activated as secondary functions (<code>Fn</code>) on the top row (<code>F5</code> to <code>F12</code>). It also has an option to select repeat rate (x1, x2, x4 and x8) via <code>Fn</code> and the top row of numpad

For gamers, the XT has a [[Windows key#Windows Lock key|<code>Win</code> disable/lock key]] (<code>Fn</code>+<code>F9</code>). This "lock" prevents accidental activation of the [[Windows_key|<code>Win</code> key]] when gaming (which would take you out to the Windows menu in the middle of a game).

The keyboard comes with four spare red keycaps (with side printed WASD and top printed arrows), two keycaps with "Cooler Master" and "CM Storm" logos, a [[Keycap puller|O-ring]] and a USB to PS/2 adapter.

==Mods==
There is a custom controller made for this keyboard, that enables keyboard to be programmable - [[Costar_replacement_controllers#The_Ghost_Squid|The Ghost Squid]].

==Disassembly==

===Required tools===
* Metal spudger (case separator), sharp slotted screwdriver, credit card or butter knife
* Phillips (cross-point) screwdriver
* [[Keycap puller]]

===Steps===
#Take off the keycaps. (Though it's not necessary)
#Turn the keyboard face down on a non-scratchy surface!
#Take a screwdriver and destroy the warranty invalidation sticker. (Maybe it's obvious, but this also voids your warranty.)
#Remove the three screws with a cross point screwdriver (two screws are hidden behind the standoffs).
#Stick your 'case separator' around the top edge (the side on which USB port it) and unhook up all the tabs on this side.
#Unhook all the tabs on the other side, there's not a lot of room to even put a credit card between the parts, so my advice is to use your fingernail first, than insert your credit card.
#Take off the plastic back and front shield.
