Cherry Stream Keyboard Wired USB SX Scissors Mechanism QWERTY Whisper-Quiet Silent Keystroke

This is the keyboard that nobody wants to tell anyone about because it is sooooo good for the price. Id put this up with Logitech MX keyboards but with better weight. It feels so smooth and satisfying to use. This is NOT a clicky keyboard it is very quiet and the key activation feels smooth and deliberate. I appreciate the somewhat hybrid key design where they aren't chiclet style keys and not a mechanical but lies somewhere in between. By the way, I am not a keyboard snob so pardon me if I use incorrect terms. My review is based solely on my feelings and me doing my best to describe my experience. The weight of the keyboard is fantastic! I didn't think it would matter much but it does. It stays planted even when bumped by a book or cup so once you find the sweetspot on your desk it will stay there. The only thing I am wanting is a small palm rest. Not for comfort but because I am used to it so when I put my hand up there my fingers land on the top row instead of the middle/home row. A palm rest would put my fingers back but I think it could get used to not having one. The keyboard doesnt need one to feel comfortable but with the lower profile my fingers tend to naturally over reach. Again this is mostly a learning curve and cherry does make the Palmrest Ergo that would work but its more than this keyboard needs. Overall this is a great keyboard. Very well made. I dont see it wearing down quickly or anything like that. It feels like it would last 10 years and I am sure it would!

I'd never heard of the company Cherry before, but it was one of the one's recommended in my research in finding a new keyboard for work. I've gotta say, this looks like your typical standard computer keyboard, but it is far and above better in design, feel, and performance (Cherry is a German company so the high standards of German engineering have been applied here). The marketing touts the Stream as 'whisper quiet,' which it is not. The best way I can describe the Stream is that the keys have the tactile feel of a high-end laptop with the extended real estate of a full-size keyboard. It's not as loud as the 'clicky-clacky' keyboards of early computers but it's not as quiet as a flat keypad either; it's somewhere in-between. The keys have an elegant snap to them and I find my fingers flying as I type which makes it fun to use. The layout is also well thought out with extra hot keys in the upper right-hand corner plus slightly larger than normal 'CTRL' keys on the ends making it less likely to hit other keys by mistake when using the 'CTRL' key for short-cut commands. The unit itself also has a high quality feel to it compared to cheaper models which feel more like plastic toys than serious office tools. Some things to consider is that this unit is not wireless (I needed a wired USB-A for my old work computer) nor does it have an illuminated keyboard. So if those are qualities important to you then this is not the model for you. But if you're looking for a solid, basic, full-size wired keyboard that is built like a tank and performs like a workhorse, then this model is worth your consideration.

Now that I've bought a second one as a "backup" I can share this; was reluctant before to make sure people dont buy them out. ;-) If you are like me, who absolutely loved logitech flat ultrax, and wept when they stopped making those... Yes, this is the next version of those. Yes the keys feel great. It's a bit closer to the second model of ultrax (a bit more force needed to press the button - initially), but I'm sure with time I'll wear those down a bit and make them work like ultrax v1. ;-) As a flat ultrax lover, I never found a better keyboard, until now. Not only we get a TKL version, but this boy is so thin, and quiet... And has the perfect weight. A bit heavier than ultrax I believe, does not feel like a flimsy $10 keyboard. I've tried numerous mechanical low-profile keyboards and they all had something that just didn't feel right. Either the key travel or the actuation force never clicked (ha ha) with me. Cherry Stream feels like typing on those old IBM/Lenovo keyboards, where the designer paid more attention to the typing comfort than how they looked (not saying they looked bad, though). I stashed around 8-10 other keyboards after getting this one, just because the typing comfort tops them all easily. If you're thinking I've said the same thing too many times, you're right, but that's just because I love typing on this keyboard, it's simply a pleasure. I could produce more clone/nonsense sentences, just to enjoy the experience of typing on this GOOD BOY. I love that keyboard. I hope they never stop making them. Personally I believe no other keyboard comes close to how right they got the feel on this one. Thank you so much. IMPORTANT EDIT: this is NOT a gaming keyboard, though. it registers up to three keys pressed at the same time, but if you need 4+ more, it just wont work. Best typing keyboard, not necessarily the best gaming keyboard, depending on your game.

I researched a lot of keyboards before I choose this one. I wanted something wired, low-profile and relatively quiet but with some sort of tactile experience. I would say this fits the bill. The quality is nice. The keyboard has weight to it and it feels well made. Check the video for how the keys sound. I think they are very pleasant to type on. They make little bit of noise but they are not loud. I didn’t want some flashy keyboard so I like the discreet black design. Setup was easy - just plugged it in and it worked great. I’ve had no issues. I have rated it 4 stars because I can’t say it’s the perfect keyboard. I have had to get used to it and I think there is something about the layout or size that hurt my left hand for a bit. I am used to it now and I do enjoy using this keyboard. I think it’s great for the price. But someday I will try other keyboards for sure.

Het is een heel prettig toetsenbord ter vervanging van mijn vorige Cherry die al 20 jaar oud was en nog steeds goed werkt.

I was searching for TenKeyLess low profile keyboard for a long time. Finally I found it. This is a global delivery. But, well worth every rupee. These are scissor key switches. Their layout is perfect. Very less key travel. They are comfortable to press. I never use the numpad, so for me this is PERFECT. That numpad space is used for the Mouse. You don't have to download any software for this keyboard. Just plug it in and work. CAPSlock and ScrollLock keys have LED indicators. You get a separate media keys row on the top. Function keys are separate. There is no "Fn" key nonsense. You have the key for right click menu. I was using Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches with my previous keyboards. They are great, but I wanted something lowprofile. Same company is now making low-profile keyboards as well. What more do I want. :-) Great keyboard. For gaming, maybe you can go with mechanical keyboards. But, for WFH setup and everyday use this is a super keyboard.

Very good quality and very quite and elegant keyboard. Not for gaming, I have mechanical keyboard for it, but for daily tasks and office use...such a great keyboard.

Bueno, bonito y barato (para lo que es). El teclado se siente bien construido, sólido. Las teclas son algo duras para presionar pero nada del otro mundo, quizás es algo bueno para algunas personas porque evita cometer errores de dedo. Es muy silencioso y cómo de usar. La textura es de un plástico rugoso, lo cual ayuda a que no queden manchas de los dedos tan fácilmente. Totalmente recomendado tanto para la oficina como para la casa, aunque no para juagar. Vale mucho la pena por el precio al que lo adquirí, al rededor de 500 pesos mexicanos.

E' abbastanza silenziosa MA non come la tastiera di un computer portatile. Per il resto tutto OK
