## Overview

The CHERRY STREAM Keyboard combines German engineering with American entrepreneurship to deliver a wired USB keyboard featuring a proprietary SX scissor mechanism for smooth, whisper-quiet keystrokes.

Its stable, slip-resistant base and slim profile make it an ideal choice for focused, long-duration typing sessions in office or home environments.

## Description

Are you looking for a reliable companion who won't let you down at work or in your home office? The CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD is the perfect choice. The cable keyboard is particularly impressive thanks to the high-quality CHERRY SX scissor mechanism. This stands for excellent tactile typing feel and is particularly precise. The volume when typing on the USB keyboard has been reduced even further compared to the previous model. This makes the PC keyboard the first choice if you like to write quietly. Thanks to the integrated metal plate and the eight rubber pads on the underside, the STREAM KEYBOARD scores with ideal torsional stiffness, stability, and durability. The easy-to-read key labeling is abrasion-resistant and therefore remains legible even after a long time. The Office Keyboard also has ten practical additional keys for office and multimedia: Volume control, lock Windows, start calculator, etc. Three status LEDs built directly into the respective keys show at a glance whether CAPS LOCK, NUM, and SCROLL are activated. Discover the computer keyboard "CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD" - perfect for frequent typists with the highest demands on quality and typing feel!

Review: A diamond in the rough - This is the keyboard that nobody wants to tell anyone about because it is sooooo good for the price. Id put this up with Logitech MX keyboards but with better weight. It feels so smooth and satisfying to use. This is NOT a clicky keyboard it is very quiet and the key activation feels smooth and deliberate. I appreciate the somewhat hybrid key design where they aren't chiclet style keys and not a mechanical but lies somewhere in between. By the way, I am not a keyboard snob so pardon me if I use incorrect terms. My review is based solely on my feelings and me doing my best to describe my experience. The weight of the keyboard is fantastic! I didn't think it would matter much but it does. It stays planted even when bumped by a book or cup so once you find the sweetspot on your desk it will stay there. The only thing I am wanting is a small palm rest. Not for comfort but because I am used to it so when I put my hand up there my fingers land on the top row instead of the middle/home row. A palm rest would put my fingers back but I think it could get used to not having one. The keyboard doesnt need one to feel comfortable but with the lower profile my fingers tend to naturally over reach. Again this is mostly a learning curve and cherry does make the Palmrest Ergo that would work but its more than this keyboard needs. Overall this is a great keyboard. Very well made. I dont see it wearing down quickly or anything like that. It feels like it would last 10 years and I am sure it would!
Review: If you loved logitech flat ultrax, you'll love this - Now that I've bought a second one as a "backup" I can share this; was reluctant before to make sure people dont buy them out. ;-) If you are like me, who absolutely loved logitech flat ultrax, and wept when they stopped making those... Yes, this is the next version of those. Yes the keys feel great. It's a bit closer to the second model of ultrax (a bit more force needed to press the button - initially), but I'm sure with time I'll wear those down a bit and make them work like ultrax v1. ;-) As a flat ultrax lover, I never found a better keyboard, until now. Not only we get a TKL version, but this boy is so thin, and quiet... And has the perfect weight. A bit heavier than ultrax I believe, does not feel like a flimsy $10 keyboard. I've tried numerous mechanical low-profile keyboards and they all had something that just didn't feel right. Either the key travel or the actuation force never clicked (ha ha) with me. Cherry Stream feels like typing on those old IBM/Lenovo keyboards, where the designer paid more attention to the typing comfort than how they looked (not saying they looked bad, though). I stashed around 8-10 other keyboards after getting this one, just because the typing comfort tops them all easily. If you're thinking I've said the same thing too many times, you're right, but that's just because I love typing on this keyboard, it's simply a pleasure. I could produce more clone/nonsense sentences, just to enjoy the experience of typing on this GOOD BOY. I love that keyboard. I hope they never stop making them. Personally I believe no other keyboard comes close to how right they got the feel on this one. Thank you so much. IMPORTANT EDIT: this is NOT a gaming keyboard, though. it registers up to three keys pressed at the same time, but if you need 4+ more, it just wont work. Best typing keyboard, not necessarily the best gaming keyboard, depending on your game.

A: Thank you for your inquiry.  We do not currently offer a backlit version.  The STREAM family continues to be very popular and we are constantly reviewing how it should progress.

A: The keys are the same size as other keyboards I have (Logitech K270, HP USB Slim, and Microsoft KB).

**Q: How long is the cable?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. The cable is 5.90 ft.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous!
*by J***D on December 6, 2025*

Perfect for limited space and those who don't need a seperate numerical keypad enough to justify them taking up extra berth on desk. Centerfield never aligned well with monitor which determined the following layout of components. Experimenting with several configurations, 10 keyless, including swap out key style compact game keyboards that click and are too tall, to ergonomic wave shaped and ordinary rectangular shapes, nothing yet had worked or fit comfortably on desk. Cherry Stream keyboard answered with their amazing layout and dimensions. Keys really are phenomenal! Perfect size, indent for fingertip allowing faster travel and smoother typing. Overall solid, unlike standard QWERTY keyboards that bend or flex. Cherry has an elegant professional feel about it. Corners are rounded, proportionally pleasing to the eye and the Modern white color tone is calm not Titanium sharp. By far the best keyboard I've ever used at home or in jobs where zero personal peripherals drives et al were allowed in employee workspaces, you had to use their equipment. Consider the dimensions; Cherry is a bit deeper front to back with narrower width. Quality is far above average, more than I expected, it's a super bargain for a such well made keyboard. Buy one now before Amazon runs out because I want to order another soon.
