Designed with quieter operation, sustainability and comfort in mind, the new KW 300 MX, KW 300W MX, KW 550 MX LP and KW X ULP 2.0 MINI mechanical keyboards from CHERRY are aimed at modern office and home working environments.
The KW 300 MX and KW 300W MX feature insulated housing, a compact 82- key layout and CHERRY’s latest MX2A switches, which deliver a soft and quiet typing experience. The hot-swappable sockets allow users to change switch types easily, while high-quality PBT keycaps support long-term durability. Both models offer dimmable white backlighting, and the KW 300 MX includes replaceable keycaps for Mac users.
Additional features include a 1000 Hz polling rate, anti-ghosting, N-key rollover, and AES-128 encryption. The keyboards connect via Bluetooth 5.2 or USB-C and use 65% recycled plastic in the lower housing. Packaging is plastic-free and instead uses silk-like paper and paper-based seals.
The KW 550 MX LP uses CHERRY’s new MX Low Profile 2.0 switches to reduce overall keyboard height and sound output. With a 96% layout and under 22mm in height, it includes adjustable feet and offers both Bluetooth 5.2 and USB-C connectivity. As with the other models, the packaging does not include plastic.
For users seeking a compact design, the KW X ULP 2.0 MINI features ultra-low-profile mechanical switches and a 75% layout suitable for Windows and macOS. A discrete anodised aluminium top plate houses concave polycarbonate keycaps which are designed for grip and longevity. Wireless options include USB-C, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy, with AES-128 encryption ensuring secure use in shared work environments.
The CHERRY logo doubles as a charge status indicator, and a magnetic nano receiver and transport pouch made from recycled materials enhance portability. The updated model uses additional recycled content and has been refined for quieter operation.
Tanja Knahn, Head of Brand & Communication at CHERRY, said: “Modern mechanical keyboards with RGB and special designs are now widely available on the market for gamers. However, the situation is different in the office and home office sectors. Countless users want modern and ergonomic mechanical keyboards in the office environment too. Mechanical keyboards that don’t attract attention in shared offices with unpleasant typing noises and colourful RGB lighting.
