CHERRY, best known for its mechanical switches found in gaming gear, is shifting gears to focus on productivity. The company has introduced three new mechanical keyboards aimed at office workers and remote professionals who want performance without all the noise and flashy lights. The lineup includes the KW 300 MX, KW 550 MX LP, and KW X ULP 2.0 MINI.
These keyboards skip the RGB lighting and loud clicks in favor of a more refined, quiet experience. They support both Windows and macOS, offer wireless connectivity, and feature eco-conscious materials. Each model is designed to fit seamlessly into a modern workspace without drawing unnecessary attention.
The KW 300 MX features an 82-key layout and is available with either MX2A Silent Red or MX2A Brown switches. It’s also hot-swappable, meaning you can change switches easily without any soldering. The keyboard connects via Bluetooth 5.2 or USB-C and comes with both Mac and Windows keycaps. It includes white backlighting, anti-ghosting, N-key rollover, and AES-128 encryption. It’s a great choice for anyone who wants a soft, quiet typing experience in a compact form factor. It’s priced at $149.99 and available now on Amazon.
The KW 550 MX LP offers a slimmer design with CHERRY’s Low Profile 2.0 switches. It uses a 96 percent layout and stays under 22 millimeters in height. Despite its slim build, it keeps the same reliable features such as USB-C and Bluetooth 5.2, along with dimmable white backlighting. The packaging is entirely plastic-free. This model also costs $149.99 and can be ordered directly from CHERRY.
The most compact option is the KW X ULP 2.0 MINI. It uses CHERRY’s Ultra Low Profile switches and features a 75 percent layout. It connects via Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, or USB-C, and is designed for both Windows and macOS users. The keycaps are made of concave polycarbonate for better grip, and the keyboard includes a magnetic nano receiver and a recycled carrying pouch. It offers a 1000 Hz polling rate, anti-ghosting, N-key rollover, and AES-128 encryption for added security. This model is ideal for travel or tight desk setups. It’s available on Amazon for $199.99.
All three keyboards were built with sustainability in mind. The lower housings are made from 65 percent recycled plastic, and the packaging uses paper instead of plastic. Even the sealing materials are paper-based.
For professionals who want mechanical precision without disturbing everyone around them, CHERRY’s new office-ready keyboards strike a solid balance between comfort, style, and sustainability.
