Cherry Introduces the KC 6000 SLIM Keyboard

Raevenlord · Apr 27, 2018

Cherry has launched their KC 600 SLIM keyboard, which brings about a new-found interest in flair and a modern, stylish design. Cherry themselves are adamant on this, as they say that "The CHERRY KC 6000 SLIM keyboard impresses with its precise scissor mechanism, compact dimensions and state-of-the-art design. A sturdy keyboard with an integrated metal plate, it is a particularly attractive addition to the desk of the style-conscious user."

Cherry's KC 6000 SLIM makes use of the company's SX key scissor mechanics switch technology. According to Cherry, this guarantees an excellent typing feel, a perfect operation, and a long service life. The keycaps being laser-engraved means that Cherry has bet on durability and resistance to abrasion. The CHERRY KC 6000 SLIM is available from May 2018 for a recommended retail price of €40 / $50 / £35, and is available on two different colors: silver housing with white keys, or black housing with black keys.

Now do the same but without numpad, please.

Kn0xxPT · Apr 27, 2018

Yep, looking for a new keyboard and the black one ..seems very cool.

Krekeris · Apr 27, 2018

Very nice. I was looking for ages to replace my old K740 Logi.

Um, no.

This is something I like! Beautiful styling, soft, clean lines and the RGB isn't over-the-top. Very nice.

RealNeil · Apr 28, 2018

I'd want the whole layout.

Vayra86 · Apr 29, 2018

+1 on the TKL version... Did someone write Cherry yet?

Camm · Apr 30, 2018

TKL and get rid of the chiclet nonsense and it'd be a insta buy for me

It's nice to see PC devices manufacturer starting to think more about design, too bad that design was 100% copied from an Apple keyboard made 11 years ago https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tastiere_Apple

I disagree. I see many differences. It is a nice looking board that brings many of its own design and materials to the market.

Apple isn't the only company that knows how to design sleek.

Stefano76 · Apr 30, 2018

you should be blind if you don't see that this has been copied.

RealNeil · Apr 30, 2018

I have an Apple Keyboard on one of my PCs. This looks a lot like it. But better looking.
I really like the chiclet keys too. It's easy to type with and semi-alright for games.

erixx · May 1, 2018

Classic example of "form over function" Chiclet is totally counterproductive. I wouldn't use it to type a lot.
Thanks to it's sculped forms I don't have to look at my keyboard to start typing.

I have three types of Mech-Keyboards and I don't like two of them.
My Logitec G410 is probably the best one that I have, but I have no problems with Planks like this.

I'll probably get one.
