CHERRY KC 200 MX Mechanical Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2024-04-14

KC 200 MX is a pleasure to type on when used for productivity featuring MX2A SILENT RED switches, an upgraded version of the MX Reds, while keeping the noise at a minimum. We are dealing with a standard layout in terms of keys, with only four extra over the numeric pad, which take care of volume controls but also for opening the most used app, Calculator. The keyboard also comes with anti-ghosting and N-key rollover capabilities, while the key legends are laser-etched for additional durability.

Product Features:

 

Minimalist mechanical keyboard with anodized aluminum surface

High-quality design with anodized metal plate, slim dimensions and original CHERRY MX2A switches under shaped keycaps — this mechanical office keyboard is an impressive product. The CHERRY KC 200 MX offers unrivaled precision and comfort while typing. In addition, the wired keyboard is equipped with four hotkeys and tasteful white status LEDs — all in all, an excellent choice for programmers, content creators and gamers.

Stylish design meets high-quality workmanship

The CHERRY KC 200 MX immediately catches the eye with its elegant aluminum surface. The metal plate not only gives the mechanical keyboard an elegant look, but also makes it durable and robust. It is also equipped with white status LEDs in the CAPS LOCK, SCROLL LOCK and NUM LOCK keys. This enables you to see at a glance when one of these keys is activated. The slim dimensions and clean lines round the whole thing off nicely.

MX becomes MX2A: Beautifully smooth typing experience and enhanced acoustics

We proudly present: Our new CHERRY MX2A mechanical switch that replaces the current MX full-size switch range. Every aspect of the switch has been refined with targeted improvements to provide an unsurpassed operating experience. Like its predecessor, the MX2A is manufactured exclusively in Germany. However, this new version features a premium, factory applied lubricant, redesigned springs and many other optimizations. The CHERRY MX2A promises smoother operation for a more responsive and satisfying typing experience, improved acoustics for a more pleasant sound and—depending on the selected switch variant—a guaranteed service life of more than 100 million keystrokes. Our CHERRY KC 200 MX mechanical office keyboard is available with the following switches: MX2A BROWN or MX2A SILENT RED.

Practical additional keys and individual key assignment

The keyboard is equipped with four additional keys, which are located directly above the number pad. These useful additional keys provide quick access to the calculator app and volume control. You can easily assign your own shortcuts, macros and more to the F-keys of the CHERRY KC 200 MX. To do this, you only need our free CHERRY KEYS software, which you can use to adapt the keyboard to your individual requirements.
