A positive feature is something: The keys are nice and flat, so that the Anschlagweg is no longer as far as in the former keyboard that I had some years ago. So you can well write articles without significant fatigue. Although it was unexpected: it writes even more comfortable and with less effort than on Rubber Dome keyboards.
I have purchased the model with blue switches with the click because the wird.Mit recommended by some others in the Internet as optimal for prolific writer noises I therefore expected. The recommendation I can give more to opt for this option if you want to use the keyboard for writing. One hears quite nice by the click when a key has been effectively struck. Therefore, one can write quite fast, yet accurate with such a keyboard. It has not so much typos, as with a normal keyboard in the laptop. This saves time because you do not have to subsequently correct as much. In addition, you can play the keyboard in sequence faster because you just noted without control look at the screen that you can continue writing. I did not try other switch, because I knew after the first attempt is not what I as a writer could have improved the stop.
To Noise: for several years I speak the levitating letter with ten fingers and have accordingly exercise. Going through presses the buttons only so far as it is just imperative to it just clicks so, then also keeps the noise within limits. Of course it is louder than the laptop keyboard. But not so loud that you can hear it up in the next room, as some claim. However, if you type with only two fingers and the keys to powerful on the bottom plate by hammering, then it is naturally louder. If you write like this, you should think about to dampen the keyboard with rubber rings, as partly explained on Youtube.
Also convenient is that the Caps Lock key is illuminated. If you enter a password on the internet and this is not accepted, a glance at the LED, if the problem is there. Also convenient is that the keyboard does not work only on Windows but also on Linux right away. In Linux, although some buttons are unnecessary, but that does not bother me. And for pure writing, I do not need any special keys, as many gamers anyway. So I miss since anything. The big red surfaces with anti-slip material on the bottom act very well. The keyboard rests securely on the table and usually does not slip. This increases the marksmanship when writing. I personally use the keyboard only in shallow setting, so it bothers me personally not that the feet are quite weak dimensioned. For other users that may already be a disadvantage.
On the subject of disadvantages: If nothing else, I would have now to add, I would give a full five stars. For the purpose for which the keyboard is intended that the letter, they met around satisfactory. Now comes the but:
After about three months of operation, the first keyboard has suddenly given no signs of life. If they are infected on the computer they are not lit and rendered no more characters. Only if you held the removable USB cable in a comical position, she wrote again. But only until you let go of the cable. Fortunately, the Amazon customer service has well solved the problem and I have now my replacement device. This provides the design a little different than the first, which I had. For example, the Windows key is somewhat different. This gives us hope that Cherry has now better secured the socket and this keyboard keeps hopefully a little longer. For what it already brings to the customer when the user purchases a product because the switches are as durable, and then other parts too soon leave the service? Here should Cherry, if not already done, urgently rectify, if you do not want to lose the customers permanently to other manufacturers.
Another shortcoming, which is more of a flaw: Meanwhile, I have the replacement keyboard again about a month in use. Yes, the key labels are not as visible as in the brand-new condition. They frog pond off with clean hands. Especially one notices the battered keys to frequently as the N, K, D and so on. The Q, however, still looks much better. I need not penetrate the inscriptions, because I can touch-type. But I can well imagine that annoys some customers, partly because the wear occurs naturally uneven. The space bar is on the surface no longer satin where repeatedly striking my thumb, but has a shiny, polished oval. That would not be bad, because the keyboard caps can be easily exchanged with simple tools, if the caps are worn out after the first two years. So you have to then do not buy all the keyboard, if there is the keyboard caps as a replacement part.
Yes, the cherry logo is unevenly illuminated. The LED appears to be off-center mounted underneath. Therefore, the cherry shines brighter than the lettering. This limits the functionality of a not, so I do not think that's dramatic. Because of me, it would not shine.
Definitely I will stay at future external, mechanical keyboards. One thing is certain. Ds writing experience I do not want to miss. But I think I would prefer to continue to pay the same but rather a hundred euros to obtain a reasonable solution at reasonable cable switches. At first I had hesitated whether this price difference really brings a plus. Now I see things differently. In the long run because of the higher purchase price calculated then probably it.
