CHERRY KC 6000 SLIM

For some context, I bought this for my wife who works long hours writing emails all day long, she wears out the printing and the switches fail on her normally every 2-3 months, thats cheap KB’s from Chinese brands to expensive ones from major brands. We both see interface items like mice & keyboards as tools and having both worked high-profile jobs doing long hours, know that feel and durability is important. We both used to preferred long-throw keys, but in recent years have transitioned to short throw Apple style KB’s to reduce RSI, fatigue and improve comfort. If you are a hardcore user, this keyboard is excellent; well made, comfortable, reasonably priced and has the double height return key! It’s lasted for 10 months so far and seems like it may go for at least the same duration again. Keys look printed not etched but have not worn off, and the switches are still working well. Wired is a bit of a drag, but then again we don’t have to change the batteries or charge it. I think this is up there with the best KB’s available!

Lovely, quality keyboard with low profile keys. Good solid build. Some built in feet to the keyboard would be better than stick on feet.

I got this as a replacement for a faulty Cherry Strait 3.0 and I'm very glad I did. So far the typing experience is superb. The soft clicking feel of the keys is amazing and makes you want to type more and more. Especially if you have ever used an Apple keyboard you'll be able to appreciate the quality of the Cherry KC 6000 Slim. If not anything, for the huge difference in price, you cannot buy anything closer than that. Also the look of the silver KC 6000 is almost identical to an Apple keyboard. The full keyboard layout is pleasing, well and properly spaced and the keys are large enough, but not huge, they will allow comfortable typing. The device is heavy enough and includes small rubber pads that prevent it from sliping or moving around even when the keyboard is placed on a glass surface. One feature that is really missing are inclination brackets at the back, so users can have the keyboard more inclined for more comfortable typing. As it stands it is not bad, but if you're used to inclined keyboard, the flatness of the KC 6000 might put you off. The USB cable of the keyboard is about 1.85m in length, so that should cover most needs. I haven't tried it in playing games, but I think that gaming is not what the KC 6000 was made for primarily. Sure it would tackle a bit of games, but there are other keyboards specifically for that. The KC 6000 is more business use and writing orientated. Loving this keyboard, it fed my nostalgia for the good ol' Apple keyboard into a pc environment. I hope the next revision of this keyboard comes with inclination brackets, it would be an absolute must have keyboard then.

I got this PC version as a replacement to a Mac keyboard that I used on Mac and PC and this one is almost identical. The low profile keys may for quick crisp typing with just the right amount of feedback need for general typing and the low profile keys (similar to laptop ones) make typing much quicker than the more chunky standard basic PC keyboards. I wouldn't say this is a gaming keyboard, although you could technically use any keyboard for gaming. I would not exactly calls this a "whisper quiet" keyboard as there is still sound when typing (just ligght brushing you fingers over keys gives the subtle shuffle sound) but not loud clickety clack like many keyboards. Its flat keyboard and bit of weight to is is very comparable to the 3 times more expensive Mac keyboard - this is almost identical in length and only slightly (few mils) taller than that. Its nice to get a keyboard with a nice sized Enter key, although left shift is like a third of the size of right shift, perhaps changes according to keyboard language layout (got British one). The images here are a slightly bit enhanced as the red colour under and around keys is not as pronouced on the keyboard as in the pics, its much duller and not noticed depending on angle and light level. The only negative I could give this keyboard is the design for the raising of the keyboard. I use it flat as the rubber blocks you get come in one size and you have to peel and stick them on - so there is no flexibility to add or remove - use flat or raised depending on your useage in a day. Would have been nice if the "fixed approach" gave two sized blocks set to cover more individual tastes. Another oddity is the Caps Lock, its a down arrow, rather than the usual "Caps Lock", "Caps" or "double Up arrow" on all other keyboards I have used - perhaps its a cultural thing being German? All things aside I'd still recommend this keyboard for any PC user, and especially anyone looking for a Mac replacement (if you get the grey mac model keys edition) for a fraction of the price.

Excellent rapport qualité / prix

Ultra slim, tasti precisi, tocco piacevole, placca superiore in alluminio spazolato, tasti multimediali, design eccezionale e minimale, da annoverare tra le migliori tastiere a membrana in commercio. Consigliata, sotto i 30 euro consigliatissima!!

I absolutely love this keyboard!! I wanted a new keyboard for work. I tried a version of this keyboard at a physical store, and fell in love with how the typing felt. But they only had wireless/with a mouse (neither of which I needed for work - love wireless keyboards at home, but not for this purpose. And I already had a mouse I liked). I finally found this wired version - I love it so much! Typing feels fantastic, the size is perfect for my desk, and it looks really great! If you like this style of keys, I would get this keyboard

Le clavier a tout de suite donné une impression de robustesse dès la première utilisation, avec des touches qui offrent un retour franc et agréable sous les doigts. La frappe est fluide et silencieuse, ce qui se révèle très confortable sur de longues séances. J’ai apprécié le design sobre qui prend peu de place sur le bureau et la facilité d’installation, aucun paramétrage compliqué n’est nécessaire. . Au final, il s’avère très satisfaisant pour une utilisation bureautique quotidienne grâce à sa réactivité et à la qualité de fabrication.

I loved this keyboard. The last one lasted me five years of heavy usage, so I wanted to replace it with the same make and model. But surprise: The replacement? Same make and model, just of newer manufacturing date? It feels cheap, has different pressure points for the keystrokes, makes a racket and has unexpectedly hard stops at the end of each short key press. That's not what I expected.
