Cherry KC 200 MX Mechanical Keyboard with New MX2A switches. (Bronze W/MX2A Silent Red)

OK, I have had a LOT of mechanical keyboards over the years, at various price points. Between me and my wife, we've gone through at least 10 keyboards each over the last 15 to 20 years (yeah, multiple PCs, locations, use cases, unhappy with some of them, etc.). Plus, I am both a software and hardware engineer (recently retired), so I have a pretty solid context for my opinion. This Cherry KC 200 MX (with the MX2A Brown switches) is really very nice. Solid construction, a rigid metal base, and the keys have an excellent feel. I got this one for my wife to use, replacing an extremely well-used Cooler Master Storm QuickFire TK Brown mechanical keyboard that came with OG Cherry Brown switches. She is a research professional that is WFH, and also does extensive creative writing and correspondence. She is also has petite, with small hands. Well! She LOVES this keyboard - the keys feel perfect, their slightly closer pitch means this fits a full set of keys in a compact keyboard space. The keys are quiet but have a nice click feel. It has no RGB, which she never had a use for. The bronze finish is subtle and classy. And it fits in her space perfectly. Is it perfect? No, some nit-picks are the tilt-feet are a little clunky to adjust, and it would be improved if it had a standard, easily replaceable USB-C cable, but the one it comes with appears of very good quality. Overall, this is a home run, and we could not be happier with it. If the style and form factor work for you, I think you will be very pleased if you get one of these keyboards. It's very unlikely you will want to return it. :-)

Great keyboard. I don't understand the hate for brown switches, great blend between tactile and I think they're perfect. The key caps feel great and high quality. It is a little clacky, but that's probably me because I tend to bottom out the switch when I type. Do wish there was a backlight option, but I touch type so it doesn't matter. Hot pluggable switches would be nice, but that would add cost. All around great deal for what you pay for it.

The MX2 keys are really really great. Stable and sturdy.

The switches are silent, and great for the office. They still have a good feel, but do miss the satisfying feeling of a click. This board just bottoms out. I'm definitely faster on this keyboard, than the company supplied Dell one. That said, I'm definitely faster on my huntsman elite at home. Probs just because I've been using it for 6+ years. This is my first Cherry keyboard, and I might make the switch. I hope to explore their options focused on gaming. The color is nice, and the style would certainly please an Apple consumer. The weight reflects build quality, and it doesn't slide around.. probably not one you would want to pack up and hall around though.

Love the keyboard, great sound and great feedback. It's not as quiet as I had hoped, but then again I work in a nearly silent office so it might just seem louder due to that. Only issue is because the keyboard is aluminum, I'm constantly shocking myself when I sit at my desk. If you have a static prone home or office, maybe consider non-metal finishes...
