Packaging
The CK530 came nicely packed in a slim cardboard box with a nice graphic of the keyboard and mouse on the front. The back of the box list out the features and specification in twelve different languages. There is a small opening on the front to let you try out the “clicky” keys.

Inside of the box, the keyboard and mouse are both wrapped in protective plastic. Other than the keyboard and mouse there is a informative user guide and a spare key. Nothing was out of place and no damage to the product so I could not ask for better than that.
Now let us take a closer look at the Keyboard itself!
A Closer Look
The LED backlight looks awesome on both the mouse and keyboard. The keyboard has all the standard keys and media shortcuts along with volume control buttons through the fn (also the outline of the Coolermaster logo on this setup) function. The keyboard also has a nice weight and feels very durable. The backlight on the CK530 is very uniform. Each key lights up equally. The scroll wheel is lit up as well as the base of the palm.

Recommended for: Primarily typing. The Cherry MX Blue has a distinct “click” sound when depressed beyond the tactile point, making it the loudest switch in the Cherry MX family. The Cherry MX Blue’s separated slider construction also provides the highest tactile feedback out of all Cherry MX switches. With that said, the two-piece slider construction also introduces a very pronounced hysteresis, making rapid firing a bit more challenging than linear switches.
