Cooler Master may be experts in cases and cooling solutions, but they also produce a lot of other types of hardware too. In fact, they also produce an extensive line of keyboards, mice, and headphones as well.

Enter the Cooler Master CK721 wireless mechanical keyboard. Cooler Master is touting this as a keyboard for both work and play. It can connect to your PC in three different ways: USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz lag-free wireless via a dongle. You can connect the CK721 to up to three different devices with Bluetooth. Cooler Master estimates that you can get 72 hours with the lighting off when used wirelessly.

It comes in two different colors: gray with black keycaps as well as silver with white keycap. Cooler Master gives you a choice between blue, brown and red caps depending on your preference. And yes, for you gamers out there, the CYK721 has RGB lighting that emits from both the keys and from the spaces between them.

A precision dial in the upper right lets you do things such as control your multimedia, brightness of the keyboard, or cycle through RGB modes just to name a few. All these features are housed in an aluminum chassis.

Also included is a soft wrist rest which looks like it's a pretty good size.

March 29th is when you can expect this keyboard to ship and you an pre-order one for $119.99 from places like Amazon.
