Installation
I installed the Musketeer II in a Casemaxx 210
right alongside the Musketeer I. I decided to install both of the LED
switches, just to make sure they were functional. Both worked in the intended
manner, except that the mounting bracket for the 3.5” switch was entirely too
short. The mounts on the bracket did not reach the mounts on the case at all.
The PCI bracket, on the other hand, installed perfectly. Personally, I’m
surprised that a switch was not included on the Musketeer II itself. The audio
bracket bent noticeably when I inserted the audio plugs…it could use a little
more support.
Finally, Time to put some juice into this sucker! The lighting is slightly
different than the original Musketeer. It is neat in its own way, because the
background creates lighter letters on a slightly darker background. The effect
is very nice, and unlike the setup on the original Musketeer it will work with
any of the seven colors. The colors, from upper left on down, are White, Red,
Green, Dark Blue, Yellow, Light Blue, and Purple. As these photos illustrate,
the center dial does not always match the outer two dials. That’s something
that could use a little tweaking.

The Multicolor mode is pretty intense…the speed
that it blinks reminded me a little of a strobe light. It is not a setting for
the faint of heart! Here’s a video of the multicolor mode.

Testing
My testing consisted of making sure each part of
the Musketeer functioned like it said it would on the box or in the manual.
This went without incident.
