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.

A Closer Look Part IV

In the frontal area of the keyboard, we will be able to spot the flawless aluminum build, but also the USB Type-C port; there are no USB hub ports here, because this aspect would make the keyboard bulkier:

 

 

 

 

The CHERRY MX Speed switches are the same we have seen along with the CORSAIR keyboard mentioned before (which is also our daily driver) and have a short travel and a much slimmer body versus the regular ones. When typing fast, the MX 10.0 is more silent than the CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 LP, possibly because of the all-aluminum build (the CORSAIR model has a plastic layer on the bottom area):

 

 

 

The clean design lines are also present on the bottom area of the chassis, it’s like we’re talking about an Apple laptop with unibody chassis:

 

 

 

The kickstand is also made of aluminum and features rubber feet on the sides:

 

 

 

 

In the lower area we will also spot a long rubber foot, so the keyboard will remain steady on the surface and won’t make contact with the aluminum surface:
