Since the Cherry Stream came at just the right time. Without unnecessary weight such as numerous special function keys, which in turn require a well-functioning software, this keyboard comes under WinXP without additional software (System requirements min. WinXP or later). Alternatively, they can be connected via USB or PS / 2.
The standard key layout is also pleasing because we find everything right away as usual. The 6 additional buttons (above the keyboard) are for the media player and function properly. This allows you to customize or mute the system sound volume. The processing and quality make a very good impression, also the rather high weight speaks for the quality dainty keyboard. She's really very flat, the keys are only just above the surface (similar to laptop). The first text entry in Word worked faster than my old Cherry G83-6105 (over 10 years old and still works Top) because the key travel is here considerably shorter. The pressure point is unremarkable, so good. There is enough resistance as to press a button accidentally. To quickly write so ideal. Whether the Cherry Stream also 10 years or more is reliably retains all its function appear.
For design, quality, function, volume keys, and especially the price I forgive each full 5 stars

After more than 3 years and daily use, the overall quality is still very good. The label and the function of all the buttons is still impeccable.
Conclusion:
Very stylish and durable keyboard with no superfluous features at a really fair price.
