Cherry's latest mechanical keyboards feature German-made MX2A switches and office-friendly designs but will game just as well

[Redaktion]

Cherry has just released four new mechanical keyboards, all designed for productivity but more than capable enough for gamers, too. The new mechanical keyboards feature both low-profile and full-height versions, come with Cherry MX2A or LP 2.0 switches, and have shine-through PBT keycaps with white backlighting across the board.

Cherry's Datasheet says: ,,Battery replaceable: no".

What's the point of buying a high quality Keyboard with a non-replaceable part in it that will fail after some time?

What's the point of buying a high quality Keyboard with a non-replaceable part in it that will fail after some time?

Usually with keyboards, this just means the battery cannot be easily replaced without opening the unit up. I can't be 100% certain this is the case for these boards, but with many other keyboards, it's common enough to see long-term users remove or replace the batteries in their keyboards when they're out of usable life.

I do take your point, though, and I wonder what the point is of packaging a keyboard in plastic-free packaging if you're going to give it a disposable part...

Cherry moved all their manufacturing to China, these switches were not made in Germany.  They claim "engineered in Germany," but unfortunately they are not made there.

I'm intrigued by this focus on productivity that doesn't sacrifice gaming prowess, quite a delicate balance. It reminds me of needing a car that's fuel-efficient for commuting but powerful enough for weekend adventures. That sounds incredibly versatile with those switch options. A similar dilemma arose when choosing a laptop for both graphic design and coding; finding one that handled both smoothly was a challenge. Sharing this reminds me that finding the optimal tool can feel like navigating Slope Unblocked!
