CHERRY Stream 3.0 Low-Profile Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2016-10-22

Stream 3.0 keyboard from CHERRY does come with an effective low-excursion SX switch design, which allows very fast typing, while keeping the noise levels to a minimum. It does come with a full numeric pad, recommending it for office use (Excel or different other calculation programs) and the included six multimedia keys can be accessed without installing extra software. In order to keep the production costs low, we are not getting custom LED illumination or and USB hub for connecting other low-powered devices.

In the top right corner of the keyboard, we do have blue LEDs for the NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock functions:

On the top frame, but right under the Windows key, we will find a manufacturer logo:

The full numeric pad also recommends this keyboard for office/calculations tasks, while the 2,4,6 and 8 keys also double up as directional keys:

The standalone direction keys are, of course available; by having a slim profile, the keys are mostly flat and allow the user to type really quickly, with little to no noise produced during the process:

The slim design can be also observed when looking on the sides of the Slim 3.0; because of the chassis design and in order to keep manufacturing costs at a minimum, CHERRY did not also include an USB hub for connecting a mouse or other low-powered devices:
