Packing:
The keyboard is very well packed in a matching box. There is nothing at slurp when the package arrives, and so it should be.
After unpacking you have to just stick the rubber anti-slip feet and the Micro USB cable to connect to the PC.
Installation:
Plug-and-Play. Plugging in and get started. The computer automatically detects the keyboard as a HID (Human Interface Device) and can be lostippeln immediately.
If you like, you can still of the Cherry website the software: Download and install in order to use the macro function of the F-keys, as well as the Media key on the numeric keypad "Cherry Keyboard Manager".
Feel:
The plastic of the keyboard makes a high-quality impression. It rattles and creaks not here. The keyboard is also very rigid.
Overall, the key to make an impression of quality and even after prolonged use, these no wear.
Writing experience:
First, you really have to get used to the low weight of the trigger keys, but after a short time, you realize that you are always faster at typing. Spelling mistakes have become less and less with me, for a very short time, so I also can write with few to no errors this text. The keystroke must please everyone even, plenty of choice for mechanical keyboards there are. I have previously tested a keyboard with Cherry Blacks and I did not like the high initial resistance.
With the Red switches can be very long texts, write fatigue free.
Volume:
As long as you do not type in the key until it stops (bottom out), the keyboard is pleasantly quiet. If you tap all the way makes the keyboard while audible clack noises, which I do not personally feel noisy. And also my friend who falls asleep while I write partly about 2m away, does not feel disturbed.
Gaming capabilities:
Absolutely!
I have previously owned a Logitech G15 Refresh, and thought that there is no change with a new keyboard to the feel. Since I was wrong.
One can much more accurately control the game character through a level by mechanical keys. The fact that the movement much occurs sooner a feeling the game seems a little liquid.
Movements in eg Battlefield 3 or Counter Strike: GO will be gentler and better control.
Conclusion:
The keyboard is considering the price and the performance offered a real hammer. The software works flawlessly, has no loading time and can be adjusted well.
The quality is great and leaves nothing to be desired. The keys can be hit precisely and are very comfortable for longer texts.
From me a strong buy recommendation.
