SCORE ✪✪✪✪
PRICE £53 (£64 inc VAT) from cherry.co.uk
Cherry is well known within the gaming community for its mechanical keyboard switches, but any long-time PC Pro reader will associate the German brand with high-quality keyboards as well. Perhaps, I might dare to venture, keyboards that lean towards the ugly.
Not so the KW9100 Slim. While its square edges, square keys and plain black finish won't appeal to all, this wireless keyboard will lend any desk a smart, professional look. It's a solid piece of equipment, and Cherry claims each key has a service life of 10 million actuations. I can't imagine the key labels will last that long, but they should survive the two years of warranty.
