Cherry Mechanical Keyboards Fun Facts

I strongly prefer mechanical keyboards. My Cherry MX Blue Stem arrived today and it's perfect. Replaces a sixteen year old Mircon mechanical keyboard that was beginning to wear out. Unless one is a gammer I see no reason to spend more for the more expensive keyboards

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The MX cherry blues are perfect, great mechanical keyboard that doesn’t break the bank.

I love this keyboard. I haven't used a mechanical one since the 80's? 90's? Cherry Bl gives you the clicky sounds - it gives you the feeling that you've accomplished something great when you add another chapter in your great American novel! Generations will laud your work, but only you (and those who read this review) will know the secret was the DAS keyboard. It responded to your touch with tactile feedback and sound. It affirmed you as you wrote on those days when you ventured off your outline, encouraging you to create something unexpected and beautiful, that you could bring back into your story.

This keyboard is my first mechanical keyboard. Amazing keyboard, with the Cherry MX Blue switches (there are other kinds as well) giving good feedback and audible click. Would definitely recommend this keyboard! Key puller- make sure you have it gripped on the bottom of the key; not on the side. Pull up straight, not at an angle. Use the 'FN' key to use the functions on the F keys (the top row of keys) B&H Photo Video shipped it kinda slow, but it was the holiday season!

This is my first mechanical keyboard and it is incredible. Feels very well built, and the MX Cherry Blue switches have that clickity goodness that I wanted.

The Cherry MX Brown switches are not noisy and have the right amount of tactile feeling. The build quality of this keyboard is solid and heavy. Mechanical keyboards have the keys higher than normal keyboards and some of the brands include a palm rest in the box. Das Keyboards do not come with it. I purchased a polyurethane palm rest to get the right height. I'd be happy if they included something in the box for raising your palm, other than that it is a great keyboard!

Excellent build quality and consistent across 3 of the same that I bought. There are too many choices of mechanical keyboards even if you narrow down to ones with Cherry Blue switches. So there are certainly others that will be equally good and consistent. So my review is not meant to be a comparison by any strech, but only what I see.

I've been wanting to move towards a mechanical keyboard feel. Glad that MX is offering an option now. So far, I've really enjoyed the typing experience, though it is taking some getting used to since I've been on scissor switches for quite a while. I don't love how they switched to a new dongle system with this one so I can't use the MX master 3 mouse with the same dongle anymore - I know they did that to force another upgrade. Other complaint is that their software seems to have regressed in the new mechanical keyboards. example - the calculator quick key still works but it doesn't bring it to the front anymore. Why would that be different from their previous keyboards? weird. Overall, I'm enjoying the keyboard, though.

This basic keyboard is well worth its price. I have other mechanical keyboards that I use, but I can't say those give as much value as this simple keyboard. 100% recommended.

Grabbed one of these for work with the blue switches and I can actually type faster on it than the keyboard that I use at home. I will only use full sized keyboards and they have to be mechanical and clicky for me so this hits the sweet spot. Much better than the dozens of other low priced mechanical keyboards I've owned and nearly as good as the custom GMMK that I use at home. Can't beat this for the price.
