CHERRY MX 10.0 Mechanical Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-09-15

CHERRY has finally launched their own keyboard featuring the MX Speed Low Profile switches, which is very responsive and pleasant to type on and also surprisingly silent! With the MX 10.0, CHERRY is also showing that a gaming keyboard can also be very elegant and professional looking by using an all-aluminum chassis and the low height does also contribute for a more comfortable typing position. The used switches do feature a 1.2mm pre-travel and 3.2mm total travel, while the operating force is 45cN, making it ideal for competitive games; given its fast response time, writing articles on it takes a little time to adjust, but it is 100% doable.

The MX 10.0 chassis is built entirely of aluminum and the keyboard can be had in either black or white colors; it sports the usual layout, but with some added multimedia keys in the top right corner:

The height of the keyboard is only 22mm and coupled with the low profile of the switches, it is a very pleasant peripheral to type with:

Between the ESC and F1 key, we’ve got the CHERRY key which can be used for installing the CHERRY software or for opening the LED light customization effects menu inside the GUI:

Moving forward, we do have multimedia (Volume controls) from F1 to F3, while F4 will turn off the lighting:

With F5 and F6 we will be able to customize the LED brightness, while with F7 and F8 we will choose the speed of the currently selected RGB mode:

Next, we do have the Win-Lock key for deactivating certain key shortcuts, the function to open the default web browser, a very useful function key for opening Windows Explorer but also a function for cycling through the available RGB lighting effects:

In the top right corner, we do have the key for opening up Calculator app, but also some multimedia keys:

To the left and right of the Spacebar key, we do have the usual set of functions:

A nice CHERRY logo is positioned in the upper area of the directional keys:

In the top left and right-side corners, we will be able to spot the hinges of the kickstand:
