Cherry G80-3850 MX-Board 3.0 Keyboard
For those PC gamers who prefer the feel of a keyboard under their fingers instead of a gamepad, Cherry has a new mechanical keyboard on offer.
The G80-3850 MX-Board 3.0 is a full-size 17.5-inch QWERTY-layout keyboard with 104 keys that connects via USB 2.0. The USB cable can be detached for portability and storage.
This sturdy professional maximum-precision keyboard is available in a selection of four different key switch types – Cherry MX Red, Blue, Black or Brown.
The switches used within the peripheral are designed for gaming use as they are light to touch and provide fast and precise input.
Underneath the switches are Cherry’s gold crosspoint contacts, which provide increased accuracy and responsiveness.
The hardware also allows the operation of 14 keys at the same time, with no key-ghosting effects. And with the Win-lock key, the Windows button can be disabled.
