CHERRY KC 6000 SLIM, Ultra-Flat Design Keyboard, UK Layout (QWERTY), Wired (USB-A Connection), Quiet, Durable Key Labelling, Black

First of all thanks to Amazon for fulfilling their Prime next day promise and delivering it next day.I used to have an Apple Magic keyboard but sold it and got this one instead. I would say the Apple one is a higher quality keyboard and the key presses are the best I've ever experienced but for £50 more than this keyboard, you'd expect that from high end Apple products. This keyboard still has comfortable soft key presses and low travel like a laptop one. The Apple one had also swapped the " and @ symbols around which was annoying for Windows users, thankfully they are back in their normal places on this keyboard.It's plug and play so Windows 10 installed the drivers as soon as I plugged the USB cable in. Just the "Pause" key isn't working in Spotify or Media Player, I might have to check the Cherry website about that.I have uploaded a photo of the standard UK keyboard layout I received which is slightly different from Amazon's stock photo. First the backslash and pipe key is at the normal position at the right side of the left shift key, this is essential for us programmers and having such a large left shift key would just be bizarre. Second the Return key is full size which you will notice if you compare my photo to Amazon's, this is also better and easier to find when typing. You can also see the hash key is to the left of the Return key, but in Amazon's photo it is on the 3 key instead of pound, not good for UK users. The one in Amazon's stock photo looks like an American layout as there's no £ sign, and with @ on the 2 key and " just to the left of Return where # should be.The LED lights for lock keys are on the individual lock keys which is a nice touch. There are also 7 multimedia keys for media playing, volume, calculator and a useless browser 'home' key which I tested whilst writing my review and lost what I had written before and had to re type this review again from scratch! Avoid that key if working in a browser! Next to that key is a 'windows lock screen' key. I think these 2 keys are pointless and I would have preferred 3 sets of 4 function keys along the top with spaces between the 3 sets, as a programmer I need to find CTRL+F5 easily but it's not too difficult.Overall I am pleased with this keyboard, it is comfortable and easy to use. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming as I don't think the soft keys could handle aggressive gaming sessions for too long. It is ideal for touch typers looking for laptop style keyboards. It's not ergonomic shape like Microsoft's Natural keyboards but I prefer soft keys like this one's.

For some context, I bought this for my wife who works long hours writing emails all day long, she wears out the printing and the switches fail on her normally every 2-3 months, thats cheap KB’s from Chinese brands to expensive ones from major brands.We both see interface items like mice & keyboards as tools and having both worked high-profile jobs doing long hours, know that feel and durability is important. We both used to preferred long-throw keys, but in recent years have transitioned to short throw Apple style KB’s to reduce RSI, fatigue and improve comfort.If you are a hardcore user, this keyboard is excellent; well made, comfortable, reasonably priced and has the double height return key! It’s lasted for 10 months so far and seems like it may go for at least the same duration again. Keys look printed not etched but have not worn off, and the switches are still working well.Wired is a bit of a drag, but then again we don’t have to change the batteries or charge it.I think this is up there with the best KB’s available!

Nice looking keyboard, quiet in use and it feels very strudy although the silver face is not aluminium you would be very surprised that it is in fact plastic but a good finish on it and of course bonded to sturdy aluminium sandwich holding all the workings.Unfortunately the keyboard was ruined by a single spillage and cannot be serviced in any way.Annoying that it appears in all the searches for "backlit" keyboard as THIS IS NOT BACKLIT.Still was certainly very good for the money and I'd recommend it (unless you want a backlit one, of course).

Although it looks like laptop keys, let me make it very clear that these keys are wayyyy better than laptops. The key travel (as in how deep the key goes when you press it) is absolutely ideal for painless typing. Very very quiet keyboard! The only upgrade to this keyboard would be the Logitech MX Keys/Craft, but then we're talking silly money really (Logitech is doing an Apple obviously!).The only issue this keyboard has is that the height is not adjustable, I have no idea how this even went into production without height tabs underneath, somebody at Cherry must have been sleeping! However the good news is that you can just stick some rubber feet on the rear bottom side and get the height you need, as I have done and now the keyboard is without a doubt the best keyboard I have ever typed on.Highly recommended if the appearance, quietness, quality of keys is important, this keyboard ticks all the boxes, the only gripe is the lack of inbuilt height adjustment, but as I said earlier, very simple to workaround with some sticky rubber feet from Amazon etc.

I like it, it is a bit flat, but seems well made.
