Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Cooler Master is excited to announce a new program for the robotics community. We are giving away 50 keyboards to teams.

You read that right... 50 keyboards.

"But Brandon... what's the catch?"

There isn't one. You just need to go to the form and fill out a request. The first 50 people/teams will get a keyboard. It's that simple.


As an added bonus, if your team is one of the 50 and you decide to mod your keyboard (Custom vinyl wrap, custom 3D printed keycaps, CNC metal parts, etc) you will be entered to win a MasterCase 5. Info will be included in the email sent to the 50 recipients.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Neat! Programmers should love this if we get accepted. Thanks for all the support you guys do for FRC in general!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thanks for doing this! Looks like I should be in, judging from how many views the topic has. :]

Filled out the form! We've been looking to replace the generic Logitech keyboard on our CAD desktop... And it might be time for a case upgrade too :).

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Does anybody know how soon you hear back? Is it instant?

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I filled it out less than ten minutes after it was posted, haven't received anything yet.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I would assume you would receive a reply when the contest closes, which might be a while, so other teams have a chance to enter.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

If the contest is, as Brandon mentioned, open to the first 50 teams/people who apply, then it could be inferred that they just haven't had 50 people apply yet. Alternatively it could also just be because the CM staff is taking the rest of the week off due to the holidays and will look at it again on Monday.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

This is great thank you very much for doing this :) CAD will love it if we get one.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I just want to get rid of my Razer keyboard.

Show me the way to mechanical Valhala, Oh Legendary keyboard giver of lore.

Seriously though, that pro M white looks sick. Would love one of those :D

Has anyone gotten an email yet?

Nope.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Hi Everyone,

Just got back to the office today. We will start shipping these out soon.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thanks for the opportunity!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Will we be told if we got one or will we just receive it in the mail?

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thanks so much! This is really awesome of Cooler Master to do in support of FIRST teams and their members.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Still no email, and I'm somewhat confident I got in early, unless the CD view counter is delayed.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I haven't gotten an email either. I don't think the thread views are that accurate, because probably not everybody that viewed the thread actually entered, or at least not at first. Also, there is a possibility that the view counter is off, considering that the CD clock is a few minutes behind... (New time "zone": Chief Delphi! :D)

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I don't know if we will send out emails or if the warehouse is just mailing them out, so keep an eye on your mailbox!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I guess if you won...Surprise keyboard? Lol

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

The suspense is real.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

What's the latest date (approximately) that anyone could expect to receive a "surprise keyboard"? It would be nice to at least know if we're not getting one.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I will wait forever, anticipating a keyboard in the mail even when I'm on my death bed. If it shows up, hopefully delivered by a robot designed by former FIRST students, I will type one last message:

"Thanks Cooler Masrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

A limp, cold, hand finds its final resting place....

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

And as you lie there, all you can see is one final message:

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I know they are going to start sending them out next week.When I get confirmation I will try to get emails sent out to everyone. Be easy on us as it's the holiday season and we are swamped... But rest assured that these are going out.

Also, if you're not one of the lucky 50 then maybe your team can check out FIRST Choice pretty soon...

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I'm gonna take this as a hint...:D

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

MasterKeys Pro L and a MasterMouse Pro L for 10 credits??????????

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I would like to apologize if we are a little excited. We certainly appreciate every thing you and Cooler Master do.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Found out today that everything will start shipping Monday or Tuesday next week.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Any word if the keyboards have shipped yet?

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Man, people be thirsty for some keyboards.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Back in my day, if you wanted to type you needed to know morse code...

:D

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thank you for being patient with us. Only a few keyboards have been sent out but the remainder have gone out today.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Ruh Roh...

I don't know what happens to packages sent to our school over the break -- if they can be delivered at all.

If they haven't left yet, you might want to hold any going to schools until next week!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I would be VERY surprised if your receiving department didn't already have a plan for deliveries over break (if no one will be there to receive). Most schools receive numerous deliveries during any given day - it may surprise people how busy schools are over Christmas and Summer breaks!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

If for some reason it gets sent back to us we will send it back out. We gotchu!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Have emails been sent out?

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Nope, sorry. We are closing for the holidays and when we get back we are in CES mode. I didn't have time to send emails.

If you don't get something this time around just keep an eye out for the next time we do a giveaway on here.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Our school is about 140 students, no receiving department, and there's nobody in the building at all over break. Last year at the end of build season over Winter Break we were literally the only ones in the building all week. I'm pretty sure the outside cleaning crew didn't even come in either. (At least the pile of pizza boxes would suggest that.)

Thanks!!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Dang, just looked at this thread... probably to late.:ahh:

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Too late for this one... I hear Brandon has more up his sleeve, coming soon ;)

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Start hyping...

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I got one through FedEx today! Thanks Cooler Master!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Pics or it didn't happen

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I got the same one! Thanks hella Brandon!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

If we are a member of the #coldcoast, should we expect delivery tomorrow/Sunday?

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Considering it's almost Christmas, I would say no.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I don't think the elves are that fast. But at least now you don't have to spend 30 minutes explaining what a mechanical keyboard is to your grandma...

"No, grandma... it's cherry mx switches. No, not like a pie... it's a company in Germany. Yeah, I got it on the internet... from cooler master. No, that's an ice chest..."

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Our intent was to offer up some of our keyboards for people to use. If it is someone using it to game, awesome. If it's a team using it to do CAD/program their robot, that's cool too. The main point is that it gets used and someone benefits from it.

I just hope that everyone enjoys it and sends CM good vibes.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thanks for the quick reply. I deleted my post because I reread the original post again and that clarified it for me, but thanks for replying anyways!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thanks a lot Cooler Master!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

You're welcome!

Now let's work on that profile picture ;)

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

There. Better? ;)

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Brandon, many thanks for the Masterkeys Pro L! I believe mine is the third box from the top in the foreground. It arrived late in the day on the 24th...

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Just got mine yesterday! 115 and 299 will be having a Sm4sh tournament over it. :D

EDIT: fixed pic.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Might I interest you in the permissions settings on Google Drive? ;)

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

nope

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I've never seen a company rep as cool as CMBrandon.

Just tell me where to send the good vibes you speak of.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Okay, last try:

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

When the ball finally goes in the castle...

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Just got mine! This is going out to the team's programmers. Goodbye small laptop keyboards!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Got mine this morning! Thanks, Cooler Master! It will live on my work desk as I use it to fill out purchase requisitions, do code and CAD reviews, and other fun stuff.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Just got mine today, super excited. Thank you guys so much, I really do appreciate it. I noticed a slight quirk in mine while using it though...

I've never had a keyboard with two F10's before!

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

That's it! F10 game confirmed!

:D

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

LOL.... uh... it's a special edition.


PM me your address and I'll see if we can send a key.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

My student says:

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Thanks a ton CM! I am quite happy with my Masterkeys Pro L, really made my holiday season to see this on my doorstop this morning.

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Just got mine in the mail. They are great. thanks so much cooler master

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

Just got mine as well. Thank you so much

Re: Cooler Master Keyboard Giveaway
 

I got one! Pics are attached. I'm using it to type this now. The "sweeping" color change mode is awesome, as is the feel and sound of this keyboard. Definitely an upgrade over my $20 Redragon keyboard which had RGB LEDs, but the whole keyboard had to be one color and there were no lighting effects.

Thank you Cooler Master!





P.S. I built the computer I'm using this keyboard with. It is cooled with the assistance of two Cooler Master case fans in addition to what the case came with(not CM), and a Seidon 120 for the processor. Both are great, though the Seidon started rattling, but restarting seemed to fix it.
