CM Storm Trigger Keyboard Review
Software

Software
The software is an optional download, and a large one at that weighing in at 100mb to download, and a 460mb footprint after installation. To be fair this is ridiculously large, and the inclusion of bitmaps for the UI doesn't help. However it's feature-rich, with multiple profiles and easy macro recording.
When recording a macro the software offers a nice timeline overview of the keypresses and delays. You can select from real-time delay, a 50ms default one, or no delay at all.
In case you desire it, clicking a section of the recorded macro will highlight the keys used at that moment. Assigning the macro to a key is incredibly easy, and you can choose to play it once, repeatedly or in a cycle.
Playing a macro isn't the only option available from a key. You can launch applications, macro's, duplicate other key combinations, choose from a preloaded list of options, or disable the key entirely.

like the power input in the back though for the USB connections, something i could use on my old G15 would make my desk tidier
As a future purchaser of the Stryker, it really would have been great to have a white keyboard and mouse. I can't help but feel that it's a tremendous oversight to not have at least a choice between white and black keyboards and mouses.
I can only live in hope that manufacturers start including greater variety in terms of colour down the line. We have every kind of keyboard & mouse under the sun...why not more colours to choose from?

Mouse began flashing blue which is odd because my default setting is red on always. Then after a few seconds my keyboard went bzzzzzzzz and now there both dead.
edit
forgot to add do not use a external power supply to the unit. They do no include it for a reason. It obviously leads to a defective product.
I will update this thread to see how RMA handles me which will end up supporting my suspicion or negating it.
