Geekscape Tech Review: Cherry MX Board Silent

Sometimes I have the privilege of writing my review using the product I am reviewing. This is one of those moments. Cherry’s MX Board Silent is the product I’m reviewing right now.

In the past, I have reviewed “silent” keyboards, such as Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard. I was skeptical at first because I wasn’t sure it would be as silent as it claimed. This keyboard is, in fact, very quiet. Quiet enough that I can type at night while my wife sleeps.

The look of the keyboard is simple and basic. It comes in black and white. I was sent the white version to review. It’s style is reminiscent of an IBM that I used to own back in the late eighties. The setup of the keys and the Num Lock/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock is very similar.

The keyboard impressed me by having both USB and the traditional keyboard connector functionality. It also has QWERTY key layout with 104 keys, and the user can operate 14 keys simultaneously.

Though the pricetag is steep, we can recommend it to those looking for a nice keyboard to type on at the office. You can find it on Cherry’s website for about $149.
