Product Information

I’ve plugged in the dongle to the USB port of the PC and opened the MasterPlus+ Software. Why does it show “No Compatible Device Supported?” Embedded in the left side of the keyboard behind a removable panel is a USB-A adapter that allows you to connect the keyboard wirelessly to one supporting device. (2.4GHz wireless connection.) Lastly, there is the USB-C to USB-A cable that will allow you to connect the keyboard to any supporting device.

Cooler Master also included a low-friction cloth wrist rest that will always be welcome on my desk. These are some of the accessories that Cooler Master plans to sell for this keyboard, alongside PBT keycap sets and colored aluminum top plates to allow for a bit of customization. When gaming on my Mac and PC, I opted for a wired connection as it provided the best response time with 1ms (millisecond). However, for those who opt to go wireless, 8ms is not too shabby. I do recommend going wired if you are doing any kind of competitive gaming, since having the lowest possible latency can sometimes mean life or death in the middle of a heated match. Most people would not notice that small difference in response time, though. Open the Cooler Master MasterPlus+ software, it will automatically read the current firmware version of the device and pop out to tell you to update the firmware. To ensure optimal use of the product, please make sure to follow the instructions carefully to update the latest firmware version for the first time. There are also a variety of options to manage the lighting and RGB behavior. There are options for brightness and speed, as well as multiple LED modes, including a custom option where individual keys can be customized.As I mentioned above, this keyboard works with your computer, handheld devices, and unofficially for PlayStation and Xbox Series consoles.

Standard: 334 x 118 x 37 mm / 13.15 x 4.65 x 1.46 inches, With 1st stage feet open: 334 x 118 x 43 mm / 13.15 x 4.65 x 1.69 inches, With 2nd stage feet open: 334 x 118 x 46 mm / 13.15 x 4.65 x 1.81 inchesThe keyboard also works without issues with games like Final Fantasy XIV and Planet Coaster: Console Edition for PS4/PS5, and games like Halo Infinite and Bright Memory for Xbox Series consoles. I do want to note that the keyboard must be plugged into the system directly—sorry, no wireless support. Unfortunately, we ran into one issue with the MasterPlus+ software. The program would stop responding occasionally and close. Restarting the PC resolved the issue, but it would occasionally happen again. After some digging, we found that the Grammarly app was the culprit. If we ensured Grammarly was closes, the MasterPlus+ software ran flawlessly. We've informed Cooler Master of this issue and hope it will be resolved soon. The silver dial in the upper right-hand corner consists of four profile settings. Profile one controls the computer volume, profile two for media controls, profile three for display brightness, and profile four controls the keyboard’s RGB lighting. Seems like a complex task in the beginning, but you will easily get used to profile-swapping. Motion1 - Temporarily removed the Stop Motion function. It will be reintroduced in a future version.
