CHERRY KC 1000, Wired Keyboard, EU Layout (QWERTY), Plug & Play via USB Port, Flat Design, Whisper-Quiet Keystrokes, White-Grey

Somehow I managed to get this for £11, and I'd say it's probably the nicest keyboard I've had!I was using a cheap Logitech MK295 wireless keyboard, which is quieter and feels nice to use but the stupid thing was constantly dropping connection, or going through batteries quite quickly.So I decided to go back to a wired keyboard as I need it all day for work, this Cherry one is very nice to use, I like the keys and the sound is absolutely fine. I'd describe it as quiet, definitely not silent.It's worth going to their website to download the software that allows you to change the default keys in the top right, you can set them to whatever you want (very useful!).If I fancy an upgrade to this one, I'd definitely stick with Cherry and perhaps go for the Stream model, although I'm not entirely sure what would make that one worth 3x the price but it's still affordable and a very good brand in my opinion.

I'd began to try mechanical keyboards several years ago (believing at the time that they could be superior in comfort and overall experience); however, it wasn't until recently - when I had to buy a traditional membrane keyboard out of necessity - that it was made clear to me that I was quite wrong [from my POV I mean, as this is entirely subjective...]. I couldn't quite believe how pleasant and non-fatiguing it was to type on a membrane keyboard again. So much so that I'm now selling my mechanicals and will be sticking to these ones from now on (I've bought two of these KC 1000's, one white and one black - for the two computers I own).So, to get back to this keyboard - not only was I pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it looks (a very pleasant innoffensive off/warm-white colour) but the quality is also there, with keys requiring just the right amount of pressure to engage; not too much and not too litte. It's for this reason that I find it to be a very comfortable (and non-fatiguing) typing experience. Low noise too, keys being very quiet and with no discernable creaking or rattling of the keyboard chassis.As you can tell, I really am smitten. I've bought Cherry brand keyboard in the past (mech. only) and this met the equivelant quality as far as I'm concerned. In all honesty I can't really find fault with it as yet, nothing jumps out at you as being badly designed or crappy - it's just a good, honest keyboard and for the money it's a real steal. Prior to this I'd bought a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse set and the keyboard on that rattled around pretty badly and really let it down. Now looking to sell it!A brilliant product and very glad I took the gamble on buying the KC 1000, great value as well.

Mine has a slight bow in it which means it doesn't sit flat on the desk. Couldn't be bothered returning it so have slipped some card under one corner. Apart from that it's a fairly decent keyboard with good action on the keys. I bought it for the full size return key, shortcut keys and for the brand name, which gets good reviews. Just a pity about the wobble.

I use the a Cherry KC keyboard at work, so I decided to order one for when working from home. I wish I'd done this a couple of years ago! The keyboard is well made, and definitely nothing flimsy about it. Typing is a smooth experience. And it's excellent value for money. Well worth buying.

Slightly wider than I thought but very easy to use and reasonably priced. Lightweight nice key feel. Will do the job nicely.

Great keyboard nice and quiet soft keys. I bought a wireless one and it kept disconnecting then found this one and it works perfectly. Not over priced as well like all the others, highly recommend!

An excellent keyboard at a good price quickly delivered. Highly recommended.

As per some previous reviews, the keys seem to 'stick' and you end up with multiple duplications of letters. Furthermore, if you do not type for a few minutes it seems to take ages for the keyboard to wake up and start recognizing you are typing again. Thoroughly disappointing. Would not recommend.
