Overview

A top-of-the-range mechanical keyboard

The Cherry KW X ULP combines all the benefits of a mechanical keyboard with the aesthetics of a modern flat keyboard. With cutting-edge connectivity, a rechargeable battery and high-quality materials, it's a unique high-end product. Wireless or wired, in the office or at home: the KW X ULP mechanical keyboard sets new standards and ushers in a new era. Convince yourself that it's possible to combine two worlds - mechanical switches and ultra-slim design - in one keyboard.

Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile Switches

The Cherry KW X ULP mechanical keyboard owes its slim design to the exclusive MX Ultra Low Profile switches, renowned for their fast response and reliable contact. These switches, manufactured exclusively in Germany, are distinguished not only by their extremely low height, but also by their unrivalled, precise typing feel. This mechanical keyboard easily supports up to 50 million keystrokes per key.

What's more, this rechargeable Cherry Ultra Low Profile keyboard features high-quality polycarbonate keytops. Specially designed for Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile switches, they are abrasion-resistant and guarantee durable marking. Although extremely thin, they have a slightly concave shape and offer comfortable typing. So this flat mechanical keyboard can be used for both work and play. Its anodised aluminium surface with silver edges further refines its elegant design.

Adapted to your needs

Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz radio technology or USB cable? The Cherry KW X ULP keyboard adapts to any situation: it connects easily and in the blink of an eye, whatever the connection mode. If you use this flat mechanical keyboard with a wireless connection, you can be sure that your data will be transmitted securely thanks to AES-128 encryption. A particularly practical advantage: this keyboard with Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile switches has a total of 4 channels, so you can connect several terminals at once. At the touch of a button, you can easily switch between the 2 Bluetooth channels, the radio channel and the wired channel.

So you can control a laptop, smartphone, games console and PC using just one keyboard. Thanks to the coloured LEDs on the F buttons, you'll always know which mode you're in.

    Good but not perfect

    I bought this keyboard to replace my excellent Logitech K740, which is sadly no longer in production.

    I like :
    - the simple, elegant design
    - the backlighting doesn't spill over everywhere
    - the keys offer good typing precision
    - the ability to hot-plug up to 4 other computers (radio, Bluetooth1, Bluetooth2, wired)
    - compact, but with the usual layout
    - volume keys at top right
    - the volume keys are the same as the other keys (no special buttons or scroll wheel)

    I have a few regrets
    - the backlight only illuminates the top of the key, but that's typical of all mechanical keyboards I know
    - the impact at the end of the stroke is a bit harsh, causing a slight pain in the fingertips, especially after several hours of use
    - the high price
    - I would have liked the Delete key to occupy two slots, but to my knowledge only the K740 offers this excellent idea

    I really regret :
    - the function key, which is incredibly badly placed: here it's on the left instead of the right, unlike other keyboards. It's very easy to accidentally press it instead of the Ctrl or Windows key, which makes you miss a keystroke, and sometimes even unlocks the row of keys F1 to F12.
    - the backlight is too bright, even at the minimum setting
    - if you switch off the backlighting, some keys remain lit up

    A little nugget!

    This keyboard is a delight! The keys aren't too noisy and the sound is very pleasant. Very fast typing feedback so you can type fast. I'd recommend it 100%.

    Totally satisfied

    Very ergonomic keyboard, a little noisy when typing but you soon get used to it.
    Attractive, classic design with a fine finish.
    Very pleasant backlighting. The function keys (numeric, shift, FN, Windows) are backlit in red when active, a must.
    Multi-connections when you have several computers: USB dongle and 2 very practical Bluetooth connections.
    Last but not least, the USB cable for recharging the battery and the I/O button for switching off the keyboard when not in use are also very practical: no more batteries and no more breakdowns!
