CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD TKL

Now that I've bought a second one as a "backup" I can share this; was reluctant before to make sure people dont buy them out. ;-) If you are like me, who absolutely loved logitech flat ultrax, and wept when they stopped making those... Yes, this is the next version of those. Yes the keys feel great. It's a bit closer to the second model of ultrax (a bit more force needed to press the button - initially), but I'm sure with time I'll wear those down a bit and make them work like ultrax v1. ;-) As a flat ultrax lover, I never found a better keyboard, until now. Not only we get a TKL version, but this boy is so thin, and quiet... And has the perfect weight. A bit heavier than ultrax I believe, does not feel like a flimsy $10 keyboard. I've tried numerous mechanical low-profile keyboards and they all had something that just didn't feel right. Either the key travel or the actuation force never clicked (ha ha) with me. Cherry Stream feels like typing on those old IBM/Lenovo keyboards, where the designer paid more attention to the typing comfort than how they looked (not saying they looked bad, though). I stashed around 8-10 other keyboards after getting this one, just because the typing comfort tops them all easily. If you're thinking I've said the same thing too many times, you're right, but that's just because I love typing on this keyboard, it's simply a pleasure. I could produce more clone/nonsense sentences, just to enjoy the experience of typing on this GOOD BOY. I love that keyboard. I hope they never stop making them. Personally I believe no other keyboard comes close to how right they got the feel on this one. Thank you so much. IMPORTANT EDIT: this is NOT a gaming keyboard, though. it registers up to three keys pressed at the same time, but if you need 4+ more, it just wont work. Best typing keyboard, not necessarily the best gaming keyboard, depending on your game.

I wanted a relatively inexpensive TKL (Ten Key Less) keyboard that is of a decent quality. Since this was on sale, the price is great. I'm not sure I would have paid full price though as this keyboard does lack some features that might be expected in a more expensive keyboard. I was reassured by the Cherry brand on this one because I know they are world renowned for the mechanical switches used in Mechanical keyboards. Overall the keyboard feels nice. The low profile keys are pretty similar to a laptop keyboard rather than a traditional desktop keyboard. At this price it is obviously not a "mechanical" keyboard, and probably relies on a membrane however. They key layout on this appears to be standard. By that I mean that it doesn't appear to have any funky shaped or sized keys that are in the wrong places. Some manufacturers seem to think it's a great idea to rearrange the layout a little...looking at you M$oft. This makes transitioning to a new keyboard or using multiple keyboards intermittently very frustrating. I will not buy keyboards that have funky keys. The flip out feet are of a typical design, one that unfortunately can result in broken feet if you are abusive. We've all probably had a one legged keyboard at one point in our lives. The weight of they keyboard is good, thanks to the metal plate. Along with the rubber feet, you should have no problems with the keyboard creeping around. Many reviewers noted that the received the incorrect language version. Mine was fortunately the correct US English layout. It's important to note that this is NOT a good gaming keyboard. It lacks any backlighting for one thing. I personally don't like to sit in a well lit room when I'm playing games. It is also plagued with "ghosting" issues, which for a regular user in a home or office will probably not be noticed. If you're a gamer however you might notice that holding certain keys down will prevent other keys from working. Example: holding down SHIFT, W, D...you will be unable to press R. Never mind that it might be physically difficult to do so anyway...you might be some kind of 6 fingered super dexterous gamer. There are plenty of inexpensive, backlit membrane keyboards that have less ghosting issues. Gaming aside, if you just need a good quality, compact, low-profile keyboard for typing in well lit environments then this one isn't bad at all. I'm giving this a full 5 stars because they say right in the product description that it's ideal for office and industrial use.

Exactly what I was looking for in a TenKeyLess layout. Has everything except the number key pad which I don't miss because I never use it. But has the full compliment of cursor up/down/left/right, Page Up/Down, Home/End keys, which I do use. - A bit wider than other compact keyboards, but understandable given that all the keys except the 10-key are there and they are all full size (except the F-Key row at the top, which is normal). For me the width is just right - it lets me bring the mouse closer by a few inches so I don't have to reach for it. - Keys are pretty nice - Traditional size/shape, medium-short throw, fairly quiet and just loud enough to give some feedback but won't bother others nearby. - Tactile feel of the keys is fine. - Key action is a little bit heavy compared to what I'm used to, but it's reasonable, especially considering the price. Note: I'm comparing to the original Logitech K800 - Like someone else mentioned, I like the weight - feels really sturdy. - Feet are too short for my ergonomics. But I've never found a keyboard that has tall enough feet, so I'm used to making a 2" stand to prop up the back of the keyboard.

I have tried so many other keyboards. I didn't have high hopes, but I was instantly and happily surprised when I received this one! The keys are actually quiet. So many keyboards say their keys are quiet, and they are not really quiet. The keys are smooth and glide well when I'm typing fast. It is not clunky at all. The keyboard has 2 small stands if you like a slant on your keyboard, and they fold down into the back if you don't like the slant. I like my keyboard flat. I ordered the compact version, and it fits great in my backpack with my laptop. The keyboard feels well made. For me, it needs to be wired so I don't have to worry about charging, as I'm on it all day. The only thing that might be an issue for some is that the USB connector is USB-A instead of USB-C. I use the keyboard for my laptop, and it has a USB-A port so this is no problem for me. Overall, I'm super happy with this and will order a second one as a backup.

Perfect for limited space and those who don't need a seperate numerical keypad enough to justify them taking up extra berth on desk. Centerfield never aligned well with monitor which determined the following layout of components. Experimenting with several configurations, 10 keyless, including swap out key style compact game keyboards that click and are too tall, to ergonomic wave shaped and ordinary rectangular shapes, nothing yet had worked or fit comfortably on desk. Cherry Stream keyboard answered with their amazing layout and dimensions. Keys really are phenomenal! Perfect size, indent for fingertip allowing faster travel and smoother typing. Overall solid, unlike standard QWERTY keyboards that bend or flex. Cherry has an elegant professional feel about it. Corners are rounded, proportionally pleasing to the eye and the Modern white color tone is calm not Titanium sharp. By far the best keyboard I've ever used at home or in jobs where zero personal peripherals drives et al were allowed in employee workspaces, you had to use their equipment. Consider the dimensions; Cherry is a bit deeper front to back with narrower width. Quality is far above average, more than I expected, it's a super bargain for a such well made keyboard. Buy one now before Amazon runs out because I want to order another soon.

Great little everyday space-saving keyboard. Yeah, it's missing some function keys but there are workarounds for that. I just wanted a nice narrow light-touch keyboard so I can set my mouse-pad next to it, and I never used the number pad anyway. I also love a wired keyboard; less EMFs reduce arthritis and fatigue.

As I sit here in my home office, I look over at my bookshelves where there are literally over 10 keyboards I have tried out in the past year. Some came with a computer, others I purchased. None can even hold a candle to the Cherry keyboard I'm typing this review on. Quite frankly, I miss the feel and utility of my ASUS laptop keyboard. There's just something about laptop keyboards that is difficult, maybe impossible, to find in an external keyboard. This keyboard is the closest I've found, and for the price I can't imagine finding anything better. Here are the reasons you need to consider this keyboard: 1. The action of the keys. Read the other reviews. These keys have just the perfect touch & feel. 2. The keys are quiet. After banking away on cheap keyboards, there is no comparison. 3. No latency. That's why I chose the wired model. I'm sure there must be some wireless keyboards that have solved the latency problem, but I haven't found them. I type fast - sometimes over 100 wpm. No issues with this keyboard. No rollover, no missed keystrokes, no duplicate keystrokes. 4. The Caps Lock LED is IN THE CAPS LOCK KEY! This is how my laptop keyboard worked, and is a must have feature. No more hunting for some obscure, tiny led - if there is one at all. The only minor issue I have with the keyboard is that it is not a "chicklet" style. The keys are beveled and the top surface area of the keys is smaller than a chicklet equivalent. This means I have to be a bit more diligent to make sure my fingers are centered on the keys. An equivalent keyboard, with chicklet keys, would be the ultimate killer keyboard. I bought this Cherry on sale for $20 (it's the compact model without the number pad.) But at even twice that price it is difficult to understand how they can offer such a quality keyboard for the money. If you need a quality external keyboard, don't hesitate. This is the one.

I have never had more trouble working with a keyboard. i wanted a small keyboard but im not asking for keys smaller than popcorn kernels. this is impossible not to hit the wrong button on, and the media controls are really confusing and annoying even when you learn them. I know im so spoiled having had a logitech in the past but. id expect anything i used to have regular key sizes that allow my fingers not to cramp into a tiny lot. this is terrible.

I was searching for TenKeyLess low profile keyboard for a long time. Finally I found it. This is a global delivery. But, well worth every rupee. These are scissor key switches. Their layout is perfect. Very less key travel. They are comfortable to press. I never use the numpad, so for me this is PERFECT. That numpad space is used for the Mouse. You don't have to download any software for this keyboard. Just plug it in and work. CAPSlock and ScrollLock keys have LED indicators. You get a separate media keys row on the top. Function keys are separate. There is no "Fn" key nonsense. You have the key for right click menu. I was using Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches with my previous keyboards. They are great, but I wanted something lowprofile. Same company is now making low-profile keyboards as well. What more do I want. :-) Great keyboard. For gaming, maybe you can go with mechanical keyboards. But, for WFH setup and everyday use this is a super keyboard.

I have always been happy with my fingers on a cherry.

I work fulltime at home in an office setting. I type for a living and as such, I have gone through many, many keyboards over the years. I have always been a fan of mechanical keyboards. The most recent keyboard I was using was a Hyper X with Cherry blue switches that I have been using for the past two years. Prior to that, I had a Steelseries keyboard with their own branded mechanical blue switches. I used to love typing on a mechanical keyboard, but over time, I have grown tired of the clicking and clacking, as well as the force required to press the keys, and the tall height as well. When you type hundreds of documents a month, your fingers on a mechanical keyboard become fatigued. I was in the market for a new (non mechanical) keyboard for my work purposes and I know from experience that Cherry is a high quality, trusted brand. I used to use scissor switches years back before I moved to mechanical and my last scissor switch keyboard was a Logitech which was amazing. I figured I would give this keyboard a try, and all I can say is Wow! I LOVE the typing experience on this Cherry keyboard. The TKL layout brings my mouse hand closer inwards which helps with an ergonomic setup. The keys are very soft, quiet and still have a very tactile feel with a nice “pop” feeling with each press. The keys have a rough-ish texture that helps with finger grip. As well, they are wide and easy to press with even the slightest touch. These are no mechanical keys, which, for me, is a great benefit and exactly what I was hoping for. Absolutely love everything about this keyboard. It looks premium, feels extremely durable and high quality. It is an all plastic design, but it feels every bit as solid as my steel mechanical keyboards. I just can’t believe how low the price was on such a quality product from a well known company! If you type for a living and you are not a fan of mechanical keyboards, then you will NOT be disappointed with this. It is small, compact, yet still large enough to comfortably type on and it feels very nice and high quality. Love this keyboard!

派手さは無いがシッカリした製品、キーボードはタイピングする為の物、それを極めれば結局普通が一番 スペースキーが通常のUS配列より短く丁度良いです、ホームポジションに手を置いて、丁度親指を置く所にスペースキーが有る、日本語配列みたいに変換・無変換を間違って押すことが無いです、通常のUS配列は無駄に長くてスペースキーだけやたら爆音とか有る、それがないのでとても丁度良いです。 個人的にはシャリシャリした音が無ければ星5だったが、若干シャリシャリ聞こえます、あとメディアキーは必要無いかな。 打鍵感はシッカリした底打ち感が有るタイプの打鍵感です、重すぎると疲れる・軽いとミスタイプが増える・丁度その中間に居る感じのキーボードです、過度な期待はせずタイピングしやすい良く出来たパンタグラフと思っていいです。

Calidad: A pesar de ser muy delgado, se siente de una construcción muy resistente. Es de muy bajo perfil y mecanismo de tijera, lo que lo hace bastante similar a un teclado de laptop. Sonido: Es sumamente silencioso. Nada que ver con un teclado mecánico (por lo menos de los switches más comunes). También es más silencioso que algunos teclados de membrana. La gente que dice que pudiera ser aún más silencioso posiblemente esperaban que sonara como las pisadas de un gato, porque lo único que se oye es el sonido de los dedos deslizándose por una superficie de plástico Distribución: ANSI (tecla Enter horizontal y sin la tecla <> entre el shift y la Z) de tamaño Tenkeyless (Sin pad numérico). No tiene la Ñ, y no puedo creer que alguien tenga que aclarar que aún así la tecla al lado de la L va a mandar una Ñ si en el sistema operativo la configuración es la correcta. Así que no se preocupen. Cuenta con controles multimedia y ninguna de las funciones requiere presionar dos teclas simultáneas (Fn + otra tecla para mandar ImprPant por ejemplo) 10 de 10, totalmente recomendado. Lo estoy usando para escribir reseñas de Amazon desde el armario de unos desconocidos y no me han escuchado todavía. De verdad es silencioso.
