Cherry MX RGB Mechanical Keyboard with MX Red Silent Gold-Crosspoint Key switches for typists, Programmers, Creator, Coder, Work in The Office or at Home G80-3000N RGB (TenKeyLess (TKL)

Good key travel distance, quiet, good typing feel. It would be even better if the wire is removable, which were make it more mobile, but it is still a 5-star short term rating. Illumination selections usin Fn+ key combinations without any software works perfectly with Ubuntu linux. Good value for the money.

I love this computer for work.

This is my first keyboard with RGB and backlighting. The backlighting is so nice, I can keep my desk lamps dim or off and still work at the computer. The keys feel good. I wish this keyboard had macro programming of key sequences natively without the need for software. This is a hint to Cherry. I ordered a razer for my other PC so I can compare a few different keyboards.

This is a great keyboard. It is VERY quiet, probably more quiet than even most typical membrane/scissor switch keyboards. There is no tactile feedback when you type but it still feels good to type on this.The one con is that the spacebar is obnoxiously way louder than any other key. If it wasn't for the spacebar, this would be 5 stars for sure. I suppose you could add some foam or tape or something underneath the spacebar to help dampen its sound further.

Having used cheaper, noisier mechanical keyboards, this is truly a breath of fresh air. It’s quiet (I really type hard) to a point it almost comes off like a membrane keyboard (in a good way). The keys are still clicky having sufficient travel for that mechanical KB feel. I type pretty fast when I code and keys are responsive while feeling sturdy enough. The CapsLock color change when “capitalized” is a nice touch.Will update in a year if I face any issues, if you see nothing then I’m probably still very happy with the keyboard 😁

No nonsense keyboard, and works great when gaming

Love it. Keys feel so beautiful and relativley quiet.

I live in Thailand, where it's impossible to find an English language-only keyboard. So I was forced to order a keyboard from the U.S., sight-unseen. The Cherry seemed to have all the features that are important to me -- namely a responsive keyboard and backlighting -- the price with international shipping was very good, and although I'd never heard of Cherry keyboards before, they seemed to have a good reputation.Now it's not a BAD keyboard, and the more I use it, the more I get used to it. But there are certainly 2 things that disappoint to the extent that if I could return it, I would. First, it sits very high off the desk surface. The bottom-most row of keys is over an inch above the desk. The rear function keys are 1-3/4 inches above the desk. This puts one's wrists at an extreme angle. I worry about the effect that will have on my wrists during times when I'm writing on the keyboard for hours on end.The second problem is the backlighting. I didn't even look at keyboards that lacked this feature. I don't care about all the colors. I just want simple white backlighting. But the way the lights are situated behind the keys on the Cherry keyboard, they only illuminate the upper half of each key. For the alphabet keys (A-Z), that's fine, because the letters are located on the top half of the key. For the symbol keys, you can't see whatever symbol is on the bottom half of the key, like the period (.) and (,). Even worse, the number keys show the numbers on the bottom half of the key, and that area isn't illuminated. It's hard for me to believe that such a major design flaw wasn't found during product development. And this isn't a newly released keyboard. It's been around for years. So there's been ample opportunity for Cherry to fix the design failure.Because of my situation being in Thailand. I'll keep the keyboard. But if I lived in the US and could easily return it, I would. At a minimum, a backlit keyboard should light up all the alphanumeric symbols on the keyboard.
