Why are keys like Page Up/Down integrated into the numpad, requiring NUM-Lock to be off to use them?
This 95-key compact layout retains the numeric keypad while reducing size. NUM-Lock toggles each key between number entry and navigation (e.g. PgUp), maintaining full function. For frequent navigation, keep NUM-Lock off when not entering numbers.
Why does the wireless receiver (dongle) need to be used with a cable instead of plugging directly into the computer?
To achieve wireless 4K polling (4000Hz), a specialized receiver is used with its extension cable, as standard dongles max out at 125Hz. This ensures stable performance, reduces interference, and allows flexible placement.
Why does pressing the volume knob open the settings menu instead of muting?
The knob is a multi-function controller, not solely for volume. A short press activates the quick settings menu on the LCD for adjusting lighting, volume etc. This design centralizes control of key functions for efficiency.
The tilt angle isn’t enough. Can it be adjusted?
The keyboard has a two-stage adjustable kickstand. The initial ~5° tilt can be increased to ~8° (Stage 1) or ~11° (Stage 2) for a more pronounced angle and stable support. Choose the stage that suits you best.
For gaming in low-light conditions, how should I set up the backlight for better visibility?
Optimize settings in CHERRY UTILITY: 1. Use “Custom” mode to highlight keys like WASD; 2. Lower brightness to ~25% to improve legend contrast; 3. Choose a single color (e.g., white) to reduce distraction. This enhances visual focus and usability.

Didn’t Expect to Love This Keyboard This Much
Yeah… this one surprised me in the best way. This is hands down my new favorite keyboard!I’ve used a bunch of mechanical boards over the years, including the Corsair K70, Redragon K556, a basic Wegear mechanical keyboard, and the Razer Huntsman Elite. This one just feels better than all of them.The keystrokes are clicky, but not obnoxiously loud. It’s noticeably quieter than the Corsair and Razer boards, but still super satisfying to type on. There’s something about the way the keys bottom out that just feels smooth and solid. Typing on it is honestly fun, and since I work in IT, it’s nice having a keyboard I can use to write SOPs, do some light coding, and actually enjoy the process.The RGB looks great without being over the top, and I’ve kinda settled on the pulse mode. There are lots of modes overall, the lighting is clean, and it looks good on a desk without screaming “gamer.” Wireless is where this really shines though. Setup was painless, my PC recognized it immediately, and switching between modes is easy. It arrived around 80 percent charged, which was a nice touch.I didn’t think I’d like the more compact layout, but I got used to it fast. Now I actually prefer it. It fits perfectly in my keyboard slide-out without feeling cramped or like anything important is missing.The volume know is also really nice. On some of my other keyboards if you twist the knob slowly or too fast, the volume just gets a little wonky… It might go up, might go down, might not do anything at all. With this one, the adjustment is solid and if you spin it quickly, the volume follows as it should, which is super nice.Build quality feels premium. I actually handed it to my wife because I was surprised by how heavy it is. Battery life has been excellent so far, and everything about it feels well thought out. This is one of those rare upgrades where you immediately notice the difference.If you’re on the fence, I was too. I’m glad I pulled the trigger.

Great Keyboard for Both Gaming and Everyday Use
I bought this mechanical keyboard after my old one started sticking and I am honestly glad I made the switch. The first thing I noticed was how good the keys feel. The switches have a soft tactile bump that makes typing feel smooth and satisfying without being too loud. It is a nice middle ground if you like feedback but do not want the clicky sound.The layout is compact in a way that saves desk space but still gives you all the keys you actually need. The volume knob on the corner has already become one of my favorite features. I use it constantly, especially when I am switching between music and games.Being able to connect it three different ways has been surprisingly useful. I swap between my PC and laptop pretty often and it connects quickly no matter which mode I choose. The response time is great even when I am using it wirelessly. Everything feels fast and snappy whether I am typing or gaming.The build quality feels solid. It has a nice weight to it and the keys have a cushioned feel when they bottom out which makes longer typing sessions more comfortable. The PBT keycaps feel durable and have a nice texture. The lighting looks clean and you can customize it without too much hassle.The hot swappable feature is a nice bonus since it means I can try different switches later without having to buy a whole new board.Overall this keyboard just feels good to use. It is comfortable, reliable and has features that make everyday tasks easier. If you want something that works well for gaming and still feels great for regular typing, this one is definitely worth considering.

Smooth Typing and Reliable Performance in a Compact Design
I have been using this keyboard daily for both work and gaming and it has been a very satisfying experience overall. The typing feel is smooth and consistent which makes long sessions comfortable without fatigue. I appreciate how solid and well built it feels on the desk because nothing rattles or feels cheap. The layout strikes a great balance between saving space and still feeling familiar to use. I really enjoy having the knob because it adds quick control without interrupting my workflow. Switching between devices has been simple and reliable which is a big plus for my setup. Key presses feel responsive and accurate which helps during fast paced games and focused typing. The sound profile is pleasant and not distracting which matters when others are nearby. The lighting adds a nice visual touch although the display itself is not very bright. Setup was straightforward and everything worked as expected right out of the box. After extended use it has remained consistent with no connection issues or missed inputs. Overall this keyboard feels thoughtfully designed and has easily become my daily go to.
