Cherry Stream Keyboard | Wired Slim Whisper Quiet | Silent Keys | Black

This is the one. It feels like an extremely premium quality laptop keyboard. I usually use the Dell Chiclet style keyboard. I love that keyboard but this one is so much better. The action of the buttons is hard to describe but, the best way I can describe it is like one of the higher quality laptop keyboards. It's not clicky at all. It's really quiet. The travel distance is small. When you go past a certain point, the button just presses. I would say it takes less effort to push these buttons down than it does on the dell keyboard. The quality of this keyboard is exceptionally high. Everyone that says that it weighs a lot is right. The keyboard weighs substantially more than the average keyboard but not so much to the point where it's too heavy to move or too heavy to hold in your hand if you were standing up working on a workstation. It's not that kind of heavy. It's the kind of heavy that reminds you that you're holding on to something that is high quality. The texture of the keys keeps your finger from slipping and hitting the key next to it. It's not rough, nor is it smooth, it's more like a texture that grips the harder you push it. Again it's really hard to describe but it is significantly higher quality than any other keyboard I've had in the same class. I have no problem buying a second one for my other computer. I purchased several keyboards in the last year, and this one, by far, is significantly better in performance than all the other keyboards. Unfortunately I can't return the other ones so I have to keep them because they're relatively new. But I am probably going to start buying Cherry keyboards from now on. With absolute confidence I will say that you should just buy this keyboard if you want an exceptionally high quality keyboard that feels like a laptop keyboard but sturdier.

This is the keyboard that nobody wants to tell anyone about because it is sooooo good for the price. Id put this up with Logitech MX keyboards but with better weight. It feels so smooth and satisfying to use. This is NOT a clicky keyboard it is very quiet and the key activation feels smooth and deliberate. I appreciate the somewhat hybrid key design where they aren't chiclet style keys and not a mechanical but lies somewhere in between. By the way, I am not a keyboard snob so pardon me if I use incorrect terms. My review is based solely on my feelings and me doing my best to describe my experience. The weight of the keyboard is fantastic! I didn't think it would matter much but it does. It stays planted even when bumped by a book or cup so once you find the sweetspot on your desk it will stay there. The only thing I am wanting is a small palm rest. Not for comfort but because I am used to it so when I put my hand up there my fingers land on the top row instead of the middle/home row. A palm rest would put my fingers back but I think it could get used to not having one. The keyboard doesnt need one to feel comfortable but with the lower profile my fingers tend to naturally over reach. Again this is mostly a learning curve and cherry does make the Palmrest Ergo that would work but its more than this keyboard needs. Overall this is a great keyboard. Very well made. I dont see it wearing down quickly or anything like that. It feels like it would last 10 years and I am sure it would!

My favorite keyboard thus far. I’m a developer and have used many keyboards, this being my favorite so far for work. Very quiet, my co-workers don’t even hear me type anymore. But still has a satisfying click feel, key travel feels just right. No shortcuts baked into the F keys so I can use my F keys as intended, all shortcuts are separate keys. Proper Home and End key, and even a built in lock pc key. So far I love it.

I researched a lot of keyboards before I choose this one. I wanted something wired, low-profile and relatively quiet but with some sort of tactile experience. I would say this fits the bill. The quality is nice. The keyboard has weight to it and it feels well made. Check the video for how the keys sound. I think they are very pleasant to type on. They make little bit of noise but they are not loud. I didn’t want some flashy keyboard so I like the discreet black design. Setup was easy - just plugged it in and it worked great. I’ve had no issues. I have rated it 4 stars because I can’t say it’s the perfect keyboard. I have had to get used to it and I think there is something about the layout or size that hurt my left hand for a bit. I am used to it now and I do enjoy using this keyboard. I think it’s great for the price. But someday I will try other keyboards for sure.

I really like this keyboard. It's of a solid construction, and even though it's not mechanical, the keys have a great tactile feel. Very quiet as well. I'd absolutely buy it again.

Great full size keyboard. No extra frills, it works like it says, as a keyboard. The keys are low profile keys so they stick up a small amount. I prefer low profile keys. As you type the keys they are totally silent. The keys are very easy to push, takes minimal effort. This will help from wearing out my hands / fingers as I've had finger problems before. I work from home and use this as my work computer. I work ten hour shifts and this keyboard has held up with zero issues. My fingers or hands don't ache from a long day typing. Has shortcuts for computer lock, internet, mail, calculator and sound shortcut keys. Highly recommended.

Quality: In my opinion, it's a fully evolved version of the KC1000. It lacks the cheap plastic feel of the KC1000, feels solid overall, and the keys don't wobble excessively. Thanks to the metal support, deformation is barely noticeable. Typing Feel: Smoother than the KC1000, but retains its tactile feedback. More comfortable than the Logitech K295 because of its lower overall height, but without any added stiffness. More stable than laptop keyboards; it can be considered an enhanced version of a laptop keyboard. Sound: Quieter than the KC1000, basically on par with the K295. Quite quiet in actual use. Summary: I think it's the best membrane keyboard type outside of mechanical keyboards, a godsend for those who don't want the high travel distance of mechanical switches.

Very nice full sized keyboard and indeed very quiet keys, which was my main requirement. They're not silent (would probably need a laptop style with no travel for that) but for a regular keyboard with "normal" keys this is very quiet. Often the space bar is loud on cheap keyboards and this one is nice and quiet, like the other keys. Very pleased.

Very good quality and very quite and elegant keyboard. Not for gaming, I have mechanical keyboard for it, but for daily tasks and office use...such a great keyboard.

Bueno, bonito y barato (para lo que es). El teclado se siente bien construido, sólido. Las teclas son algo duras para presionar pero nada del otro mundo, quizás es algo bueno para algunas personas porque evita cometer errores de dedo. Es muy silencioso y cómo de usar. La textura es de un plástico rugoso, lo cual ayuda a que no queden manchas de los dedos tan fácilmente. Totalmente recomendado tanto para la oficina como para la casa, aunque no para juagar. Vale mucho la pena por el precio al que lo adquirí, al rededor de 500 pesos mexicanos.

A few years ago I bought the wireless version of this keyboard. Recently it had a malfunction and stopped working. I was however so pleased with it (and used to it) that I ordered the wired version of the keyboard. For me it works great. I like the keys and the layout with extra function keys. I also like the Cherry support, With the old keyboard I had an issue with a key (was my own fault) and Cherry quickly replaced the key. Great service! Hope to be able to use this keyboard for many years.

Pour une utilisation de dev, c'est donc un clavier secondaire qui accompagne mon Logitech g815 qui est azerty. Le clavier est un peu dur à la frappe, mais question d'habitude j'imagine. Par contre, rien qu'en 1h, je trouve déjà la disposition qwerty bien plus logique et efficace qu'un clavier azerty... Bien sûr, il faut un temps d'adaptation... J'écris en tout cas ce commentaire avec ce clavier, aucun problème pour faire les accents et je n'ai absolument rien configuré. Les deux SHIFT sont bien mis en avant, il faut s'habituer à une touche ENTER beaucoup plus petite qu'à l'habitude (ce qui est normal, donc pas un défaut). Seule la barre espace pourrait être légèrement plus grande. Le clavier donne une bonne impression de solidité. Je recommande sans aucun soucis ce clavier pour un premier qwerty !

The first thing you realize when you take it out of the box is the weight, which is a good thing. The design is classic Cherry minimalism and blends well with any work desk. The key switches are scissor type and reminiscent of the old IBM ThinkPad series. Typing is a dream on this and one can speed type on this without too many mistakes. Build quality is top notch and it shows. Next to no flex and no cheap plastic squeakiness. If you really want to nitpick, one wishes the NUM, CAPS,SCROLL lights could maybe be a bit more brighter, but then again that would take away the clean aesthetic. Otherwise, it's a solid keyboard and you get every bang for your buck.
