Review: Highly recommend - Great budget keyboard. Smooth writing, nice and quiet, genuinely a pleasure to work on . I have owned many expensive gaming keyboards that have felt a lot cheaper and have been annoying to use.
Review: Bargain, quiet wired keyboard - Somehow I managed to get this for £11, and I'd say it's probably the nicest keyboard I've had! I was using a cheap Logitech MK295 wireless keyboard, which is quieter and feels nice to use but the stupid thing was constantly dropping connection, or going through batteries quite quickly. So I decided to go back to a wired keyboard as I need it all day for work, this Cherry one is very nice to use, I like the keys and the sound is absolutely fine. I'd describe it as quiet, definitely not silent. It's worth going to their website to download the software that allows you to change the default keys in the top right, you can set them to whatever you want (very useful!). If I fancy an upgrade to this one, I'd definitely stick with Cherry and perhaps go for the Stream model, although I'm not entirely sure what would make that one worth 3x the price but it's still affordable and a very good brand in my opinion.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What layout is this? the title says uk, but the pictures show german.**
A: I bought one a long time ago and it was UK layout. I remember being confused about the picture too.

**Q: Can I use on an iMac?**
A: Hi, I'm using it on a Mac Mini with no issues whatsoever, you will just have to go through a setup step when you first plug it in, (literally press one key when asked) and the Mac finds it without a problem. You will have to get used to using the 'Shift and 2' keys to get the @, as it is windows based, but other than that, there isn't an issue. As an aside, I write for a living and bought mine to replace my Mac keyboard that had lost the use of the escape key, but on using it for the first time I found the keyboard far too 'clacky' for me to use as a work tool, I found it too distracting. I bought a Microsoft wired 600 keyboard and find it 100% better, far quieter, and it even has volume keys that work (unlike the Cherry). If you like good old mechanical keyboards that provide lots of feedback as you type, the Cherry will be perfect. Hope this helped!

**Q: Is this uk or german layout? the one pictured appears to be german**
A: The item model number is "JK-0800GB-2". Note the GB in it, so it's the GB layout despite the pictures.

**Q: does this item have a pound sign?**
A: No, and this keyboard does not work well with Windows unless you tell it you are in USA. It does, however, have a Euro sign. The Cherry KC-1000 is absolutely fine in UK provided you buy the correct product code, which is JK-0800GB-0. This one is JK-0800EU-0. You can get the GB one from, for example, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B018WJO8Q2/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item with whom I am not connected. Note that although the latter is described as grey it is in fact the same whitish colour as those that are described as white.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend
*by M***D on 21 February 2026*

Great budget keyboard. Smooth writing, nice and quiet, genuinely a pleasure to work on . I have owned many expensive gaming keyboards that have felt a lot cheaper and have been annoying to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bargain, quiet wired keyboard
*by R***S on 1 April 2025*

Somehow I managed to get this for £11, and I'd say it's probably the nicest keyboard I've had!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very quiet and soft.
*by J***R on 9 October 2025*

Of course, you can tell by the price, this keyboard is cheap, but you'll certainly know it when you take it out of the box. It is so very light and insubstantial that It screams CHEAP. That said, I give it four stars because, cheap or not, the typing on this is beautiful. Of the many keyboards I've had over the decades, this is one of the best purely and solely because of the very soft and so very quiet typing! I found the keys to be solid, resolute in the pressing and just lovely to type on. Despite the cheapness, if this keyboard were illuminated (which it is not) I would give it five stars ... keep it, and buy another one - and I never thought I'd say that about any cheap keyboard.
