Expect to win – with CHERRY Gaming Performance in innovative aluminum design!
With the CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S, you can customize your high-performance gaming keyboard to suit your taste: Choose from a variety of lighting, color, and switch options to prepare for your unique gaming experience. The mechanical wired keyboard makes a big impression with its high-quality aluminum continuous-cast housing and robust processing quality in its technical appearance. In addition, the original CHERRY MX switches manufactured in Germany leave nothing to be desired. Step up your game: Your keyboard – your style – your victory!
Robust workmanship and innovative design
The aluminum housing of the CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S keyboard is manufactured in a special die-cast strand process. The printed circuit board for the CHERRY MX switches is pressed into the housing. The keyboard not only requires no screws, but also does not require an additional metal plate for stabilization. The CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S weighs around 1025 g.
Innovative processing gives the mechanical keyboard a distinctly simple and technical look. Thanks to the four round rubber feet on the floor, it always stands securely in place and does not slip around. The secure Micro-USB to USB-A cable with a total length of 1.7 m, which can be easily removed during transport, is particularly practical. Depending on the version, the completely abrasion-resistant keys are either sprayed with plastic twice or lasered in the front.
Original CHERRY MX switches
You have the choice: Equip your CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S with MX switches that best suit your needs. If you want to act strategically and tactically and want tangible feedback, choose the MX BROWN switches for your CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S. You get both tangible and acoustic feedback with the MX BLUE switch. If you prefer keys to trigger more smoothly and quietly, the MX RED SILENT switch is recommended for the CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S. Wherever your preferences lie, we have the right switch for you:
| CHERRY MX Switches | How does it type? | Switching characteristics | Key presses |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX BLACK | Powerful and direct | Linear (no click) | > 100 mio. |
| MX BLUE | Noisy and noticeable | Tactile (with click) | > 50 mio. |
| MX BROWN | Targeted and tangible | Tactile (without click) | > 100 mio. |
| MX RED | Smooth and direct | Linear (no click) | > 100 mio. |
| MX SILENT RED | Smooth and quiet | Linear (no click & quiet) | > 50 mio. |
Individual lighting options
When it comes to lighting, it's up to you: Is everything better when it's colorful? Then the impressive RGB lighting in over 16 million colors with numerous integrated color games is the right thing for you. With the CHERRY UTILITY software, you can easily adjust the lighting on your CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S. Your configured effects will always be saved and the keyboard will automatically start with the last selected settings. Do you want a more relaxed look for your gaming keyboard? This is also no problem with the CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S, because the lighting can also be switched off completely.
Practical additional functions
As befits a good gaming keyboard, the CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S is of course equipped with practical special functions: Full-N-Key rollover ensures that all keys are read at the same time and no input is lost. Anti-ghosting in turn prevents incorrect inputs. With the useful WIN key lock, you can switch to gaming mode, so to speak, and thus prevent inadvertently running Windows commands. With the CHERRY button, you can quickly access software information and the CHERRY website at the touch of a button on your CHERRY MX BOARD 3.0S.
