CM Storm Trigger Keyboard Review

Programming the CM Trigger

The CM Trigger comes with an internal memory of 64 kB capable of storing five different profiles, from games to applications. That means that the user’s preferences are kept safe even if he or she changes computers. Through the CM Storm application, it’s possible to assign new functions to all the keys of the peripheral; for that task, the interface is simple and interesting. The key is not only selected on a map of the whole keyboard, but is also featured in a separate window to make the configuration easier.

However, the macro programming doesn’t feature the same friendly interface. Although the Trigger features only five individual macro keys, the user can actually record ten more and assign them to any key available, so there are 15 macros linked to each profile, or 65 overall.
