CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD WIRELESS, US Layout, QWERTY keyboard, wireless keyboard, Blue Angel, GS approved, SX scissor action, whisper quiet keystroke, black

Keyboards can be difficult to buy without trying them out. I bought this one based on a PC Mag review as well as Cherry's reputation for quality mechanical switches (even though this one uses scissor switches). It does not disappoint. It has great key touch and travel. It's heavy physical weight with many anti-skid feet keeps it from sliding around. Has a "top of the line" feel to it without the high price. The key layout exactly matches the original pro workstation keyboard that came with my computer. What's not to like? Once I got the PC to recognize and remember the keyboard by doing a hard boot, I could even use the RF receiver plugged into the "always on" powered rear USB port on my Lenovo PC and use the "ALT+P" shortcut to power up the computer. Can't do that with a bluetooth keyboard. This keyboard is a keeper and an excellent value. Update: unfortunately I had a small spill that made a key sticky. I should have tried flushing it out with a bit of water and allowed everything to air dry but stupidly thought I could just pop the key cap. It didn't break the 2 scissors parts or the key cap but they sure won't snap back together properly. I like the keyboard so much I just ordered a replacement.

I’m used to older-style keyboards with more raised, pronounced keys, so I was a little skeptical about switching to a more modern design—but this one fits the bill! The keys aren’t quite as raised as traditional keyboards, but they’re also not nearly as flat as a laptop’s built-in keyboard, which gives them a really comfortable feel. The keyboard itself has a sleek, streamlined design without feeling bulky or clunky, and the overall quality is impressive. It has that solid, high-end feel I remember from the classic PC keyboard brands that specialized in making keyboards.

After trying 3 different wireless keyboards recently and after using this keyboard for a full day, I can say that this is my favorite keyboard thus far. I had just bought a mechanical keyboard that I could type really fast with, but it had a fatal flaw where the keyboard would go to sleep and you would need to type a few keys before it would wake up and start typing characters -- something totally unforgiveable. This keyboard goes to sleep, but only the red LED lights for the various things like the Num Lock turn off, but the keyboard responds immediately when you start typing. I love that this keyboard has separate keys for volume control, email, internet, and media and the Function keys are dedicated to the F1 to F12 functions. I can also type quite fast with this keyboard too. The keys are still somewhat flat, but they respond very nicely. Overall, this is a great keyboard for the money. In fact, I like this keyboard so much, I already ordered a second one to use as a back-up when the time comes.

The Cherry keyboard is very nice. It is heavy and stays in place while typing. I also like the keys. They have a nice feel. It preforms very well.

This is one of the best budget wireless keyboard with scissor switches. Let me explain why: - The switches provide good feedback, with a nice springy action, while being quiet. It is somewhat reminiscent of a good laptop keyboard. In fact, I bought it because it was often recommended in my research. - Good build quality: there is a nice weight to the keyboard from what I assume is a metal plate inside. The rest of the keyboard is made of plastic which seems to be of the durable type. Time will tell. Also, I have to give points to Cherry for their platic-less, paper packaging. - Advertised battery life is 36 months from the 2xAA batteries. I do prefer this to a rechargeable cell as I can easily see myself using this keyboard beyond 3-4 years, at which point most rechargeable batteries can't hold a charge anymore, rendering it useless. However, there are a few cons to highlight which is why I’m returning it. - This thing is WIDE. Despite it being advertised as wireless, it's hard to fit in most laptop backpacks due to how wide it is. The "bezel" on the sides could be slimmer since there doesn't seem to have any function or purpose. This also means that my mouse has to be placed further away, which is less than ideal from an ergonomic perspective. There is a TKL version without a numpad but I need it for work. - The operating force is a bit higher (65g) than typical so you don't glide as easily on the keyboard. You have to be intentional in your keypresses. I think that you should get used to it over time. - Cherry should've offered the option of Bluetooth connectivity on top of the USB dongle as there is no storage for it on the keyboard and could easily be lost. Overall, given the price, the Cherry Stream Wireless keyboard is a great option if you are looking for a full-sized wireless keyboard with scissor switches. It's pleasant to type on but it also isn't the best in terms of portability and ergonomics. Ultimately, I’m returning it because it’s too big.
