Cherry Announces the MX Board 9.0

btarunr · Oct 19, 2016

Cherry, makers of the Cherry MX mechanical keyboard switches, and keyboards under its own brand, today announced the MX Board 9.0, a high-end mechanical gaming keyboard featuring Cherry MX RGB switches. Measuring 500 mm x 220 mm x 65 mm (LxDxH), the keyboard comes in variants featuring RGB-lit Cherry MX Blue, MX Brown, and MX Red switches. The Cherry MX Board 9.0 is characterized by an inward-curving design that makes keys along the top easier to reach, an overall asymmetric design, and a large rotary multi-function dial. Cherry didn't announce pricing or availability.

Not a huge fan of rotating knobs for audio volume. From my experience they always break down first.

Sadly for Cherry my 20 year old G80 still works perfectly so have no need to buy a new keyboard haha.

Love the design of this, although I'm not clear on the three functions associated with the rotary dial.
The official price is Yuan 1399, which equates to roughly $208 U.S. Dollars.

And somehow that does not even look appealing to the eyes

Shame it came too late. I just bought a new CM RGB keyboard last week.

The whole keyboard looks good except for the right part. Looks like it will interfere with mouse movement.

I hate ISO. I always buy US ANSI keyboard even it's harder to buy one here.
