Technology frontier evaluation Part 5: CHERRY's first office mechanical keyboard, don't miss it on Double Eleven 2022!

During the Double Eleven carnival shopping festival, I believe that many friends are thinking about buying some high-value electronic equipment, digital peripherals, and table accessories. Speaking of which, the keyboard is also a device that many friends will choose to buy during Double Eleven. The same is true for me. I usually work so hard, so I thought about choosing a good-looking office keyboard for myself!

1. Before purchasing, let’s talk about what features should be equipped with an excellent keyboard?

1. Key points for purchasing an easy-to-use office keyboard:

Quiet, flexible and durable

The office is a place for public work, and the keyboard is usually configured to meet office needs. It is suggested that the electrostatic switch is the first choice for office work, and the red switch and mute red switch commonly used in mechanical keyboards can also be selected. If it is implemented in the brand, CHERRY's red switch and Amilo's cherry blossom powder switch will be good.

Of course, when it comes to office work, the keyboard is often used for typing and coding. It is very important to be flexible and durable. After frequent use, a keyboard that cannot be played when pressed is useless.

2. Key points for purchasing an easy-to-use gaming keyboard:

shaft, ergonomics

At present, there are common mechanical switches on the market, mainly including green switches, black switches, red switches, tea switches, and silver switches. The gap between the switches is generally not very large. Personally, it is recommended to choose a black switch or a red switch. Strong and durable switch - I will press hundreds of keys in a game, and a strong and durable mechanical switch is a must.

Let's talk about the ergonomic design of the keyboard. For example, the game time of lol is about 20-50 minutes. This hour can be said to be continuous, so it is necessary to choose a keyboard that is ergonomically designed and comfortable to hold to reduce hand fatigue.

3. Other functions

Volume, brightness, mute, backlight, display, etc.

For a good keyboard, the details are also important. If we often work/game at night, we can choose a keyboard with RGB backlight function (but it is also dispensable, it is recommended to play with the light on to protect our eyes). In addition to this, I think the keyboard, as an important peripheral, has a high appearance, so that we can have a good mood in office and games!

2. What good keyboard manufacturers are there at present?

At present, when purchasing keyboards in China, Logitech, CHERRY, Razer, Raytheon, etc. are all unavoidable. Most of Luo’s keyboards use Romer-G mechanical switches. In the past few years, it can be seen that the cost of packaging and logistics has been reduced crazily. Almost.

The one with a long history is CHERRY. CHERRY is a keyboard manufacturer in a broad sense, mainly referring to CHERRY GmbH, a German company established in 1953, engaged in the production of computer peripheral keyboards and Switch (axis).

As a veteran manufacturer of mechanical keyboards, CHERRY has a solid foundation in mechanical keyboards, which was unmatched at one time. Friends who want to choose mechanical keyboards can consider it. CHERRY is famous for its mechanical keyboards. Its mechanical switches are divided into MX Switch and ML Switch, the most famous of which is MX Switch.

3. The brand we are discussing this time - CHERRY

As the absolute king in the field of mechanical keyboards, CHERRY will always be a brand that cannot be avoided. In 2014, with the expiration of the CHERRY mechanical switch patent, domestic keyboards ushered in an explosion, relying on the field of customization to strive to overtake in curves. However, CHERRY is also responding quickly to changes in the market, and instead of sitting still, it is actively seeking a way to break through.

In the past few years, CHERRY has actually produced some very good mechanical keyboards. What I want to introduce today is a new product line of CHERRY that is positioned in lightweight office + games. So let’s chat with everyone, CHERRY just launched a new keyboard - KC200MX.

When the rendering came out, the trendy four-color product picture below successfully caught my attention. It's a good idea to rejuvenate the keyboard with the taste of candy. I got the product in a few days, and I also got a mouse of the same brand by the way. Now I will tell you about it.

In order to adapt to the overall technological and trendy table I built, I chose the rock gray sweet orange with a bright orange theme. In addition to the one in my hand, there are also green-themed green-white mint and black-themed ones. Caramel cocoa, orange-themed slate orange and pink-themed strawberry.

Caramel cocoa and rock gray sweet orange are more suitable for boys and cool girls, red strawberry is more suitable for most girls and macho men, green and white mint is more suitable, I think this is suitable for most boys and girls . KC200 utilizes the combination of bright and light colors, while ensuring sufficient visual impact, the keyboard is also more advanced and attractive. It can be seen that CHERRY is really catering to the trendy aesthetics of young people. The keyboard color matching of these four "flavors" can be said to be colorful, widely covering the personalities and tastes of contemporary young people.

The top cover of the keyboard is a metal matte texture top cover. The overall design is simple and fashionable. It shows the quality and is also anti-wear and scratch-resistant, which reasonably prolongs the service life of the keyboard. It is a well-deserved keyboard with both appearance and strength.

Back to the details, the keycaps of the keyboard are designed in a PBT frosted color-contrasted spherical shape, which has a more rounded touch, which greatly prolongs the time for oiling to occur, and the hand feels more delicate. It is really good-looking and easy to use. The keycap looks more rounded. The advantages of PBT keycaps are comfortable touch, good wear resistance, and not easy to oil. Moreover, the font of the keycap is enlarged and bold, and the visual perception is very fashionable.

I chose the red switch of CHERRY KC200Mx. The biggest feature of the red switch is the linear switch. Compared with other switches, the sound is quieter. The sound is not very noisy when typing, and the keyboard provides several additional media in the upper right corner. Key design: volume adjustment key, mute key and calculator key, which help us to adjust the volume and call the calculator conveniently and quickly, which strongly shows the office attributes of the Cherry KC200 MX mechanical keyboard. On this basis, coupled with the signature gold contact technology of the CHERRY axis, the service life is also greatly improved.

There are also bracket feet on the back of the keyboard that can adjust the height of the keyboard. Choose a keyboard height that suits you, and work delicately and happily!

In addition to the keyboard, I also started with CHERRY's MW5180 mouse.

This is a wireless + bluetooth dual-mode mouse, the details are also in place, the symmetrical design, taking into account left-handed users, sufficient battery life and equipped with a low battery indicator, which can effectively prevent the anxiety caused by the mouse battery.

The top cover of the mouse is a magnetic design, and it can be opened with a slight tilt. There is a storage compartment for the 2.4G wireless receiver inside. A AA battery is included in the box, which is very considerate for you to use right away!

The mouse has two modes of 2.4G wireless + Bluetooth. It can connect up to 4 devices at one time, which is convenient for switching and greatly improves work efficiency. The mouse is moderate in size and comfortable to grasp. Like the KC200MX, there are several fashionable colors, and the bass is fretted, which is not disturbing. It is very suitable for us to use in the office.

4. Summary here

For the ever-changing CHERRY, the KC200 MX mechanical keyboard is actually a good product. Taking into account the fashion appearance, quality and feel, on the basis of retaining the CHERRY axis, it injects youthful vitality into the product and the brand at the same time! There are discounts for this Double Eleven issue, and I think it's worth starting to experience.
