As the keyboard on my laptop has become 'temperamental', this basic spare keyboard is a good solution.
I mainly use this keyboard for gaming.
I chose it because :
- the keys aren't very high, which makes it easier to move your fingers around without having to lift them too much, so you're faster
- I like the membrane feel
- very affordable price
But :
- after 1 and a half years of daily use, the zqsd keys have lost their fluidity, they're a bit harder to press and 'crack' a bit. This noise bothers me, but above all it forces me to press the key harder, which is counterproductive, as I want to have keys that are light to press but still have that little click of the membrane that indicates that the key is pressed.
But having had a Lenovo that was quite similar in price afterwards, it started to do the same thing after 1 and a half years too...
Having received this keyboard for my professional configuration, I didn't hesitate to order it for my personal configuration, the soft but precise touch having convinced me.
One small drawback: the keyboard has no media keys, but I compensated for this by installing Microsoft PowerToys and its "Keyboard manager" under Windows to reassign the "pause", "mail" and "home" keys to "mute", "volume down" and "volume up".
Good soft keyboard, responsive. Good brand CHERRY for cheap. The (-), (_), and (@) signs are not in the same places as on my old "Logitech" but that's not a problem... The blue light indicator which seems too intense for some can be easily disabled. Best wishes.
Great keyboard, like the Stream, but without the incredible pleasure of using the Stream.
The KC 1000 is not unpleasant, and is even of good quality, but the keys bounce around, and it is not pleasant.
I'm looking for a white Cherry Stream....
