+ In the black keyboard looks at first glance really good. The plastic acts valent, is not painted, retains its classic feel rough and prevents annoying fingerprints. On piano lacquer surfaces was fortunately avoided. The LEDs for Numlock, Capslock and rolls are tiny, inconspicuous not too bright and therefore really well done.
- The to be seen on the photo blue outline of the keys is unfortunately only seen in plan view, as it is under the keys. This did not you see him not right up when "normal" sitting at the workplace and in a fairly shallow angle looking at the keyboard, you can see inside with the keys instead. This detracts from the good impression of the design in my opinion, very.
-. The arrangement of the block with Del etc via the arrow keys failed.
- No height adjustment.
o The typing feel is the normal letter in order and quite crisp. But I personally am inclined to press the buttons faster when writing with more power / speed - Here my fingers rudely stopped by the rather harsh stop at the end of the key path, which I think in the long run to be very uncomfortable. The stop flatter Apple keyboards and type of construction of normal keyboards with longer key travel is much more comfortable in my opinion and soft for me. I think that everybody has to decide for himself whether he likes the typing feel.
- The keyboard clatters while writing noticeably. This may on the one hand be that are rubber buffers only at the nearest edge of the keyboard and above ("over" the F-keys) the keyboard only on small plastic surfaces, on the other hand at the somewhat unstable design and strange shape of the underside. If you slightly knocking with the finger in the top center of the keyboard, it rattles almost. Did the keyboard then test times as placed on a thicker cloth and typed something, because it was significantly quieter ... design flaws, think very few have a desk with a carpet surface, therefore Cherry would have the "ultra silent" inscription on the package probably can save.
Went because of the last two points back. Have for the price and Cherry as manufacturers better quality expected. Best if possible test in the store, not walked in my case.
