Some time ago, Cherry was a must-have when it came to high-end switches and keyboards. But the competition has become more and more pressing and today, without calling into question the quality of the brand’s products, it is no longer completely indispensable. Against this backdrop, Cherry recently unveiled its new range designed for the office and professional environment. The collection comprises four models: the KW 300 MX, the KW 300W MX, the KW 550 MX LP, and the KW X ULP 2.0 MINI. These keyboards stand out not only for their advanced technical features, but also for a design that contrasts with the boring aesthetics of conventional office products.
Cherry office keyboards…with gaming attributes.
For example, the KW 300 MX and KW 300W MX offer a compact 82-key format, equipped with Cherry’s new MX2A soft, silent, hot-swappable switches for seamless customization. The KW 550 MX LP, with its streamlined design and MX Low Profile 2.0 switches, maximizes space while ensuring optimum comfort. As for the KW X ULP 2.0 MINI, it offers a 75% format, ultra-low-profile switches, and multiple wireless connectivity (USB-C, 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2 with AES-128 encryption). Although exact prices have yet to be revealed, Cherry is positioning these keyboards as high-end options. They are particularly suited to shared environments, thanks to their silent operation, and to teleworkers looking for performance and ergonomics… Well, that’s what the official communication says, but it seems likely that another audience will appropriate these references.
By the way, Cherry is proud of this permeability between the world of gaming and the world of “traditional” users. CHERRY’s head of brand and communications has this to say about the new range: Modern mechanical keyboards with RGB and special designs are now widely available on the market for gamers. However, the situation is different in the office and telecommuting sectors. Many users also want modern, ergonomic mechanical keyboards in the office. Mechanical keyboards that don’t attract attention in shared offices with unpleasant typing noises and colorful RGB lighting. https://youtu.be/N39KiynO99k
