CHERRY Stream Desktop, Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo

This keyboard has held up for a month and the keys still feel new. I use it 20 hrs a week and it has not let me down. The keyboard is comfortable for a non-wrist rest set up and I can type freely without fatigue. The keys. The scissor switches in this keyboard feel great and are a bit softer than your usual dell/hp office keyboard. They also are noticeably larger than your run of the mill keyboard which for me prevents me from fat fingering keys. The material honestly looks cheap, BUT I actually love the way it feels and the texture prevents my fingers from slipping. The sound and feel. The sound is quiet but not silent. Depending on how hard you type you can definitely ghost write a message to your friend about how bad the lady’s perfume smells in the adjacent cubicle or you can clack away to show your boss how hard of a worker you really are. The keys feel mushy but have a slight snap to them. It kind of reminds me of an almond joy, mushy until you feel the crunch of the almond in the center. Dang I wish I had one… ***If you decide to buy this keyboard and do not have a felt desk/key mat I highly suggest buying one. The keyboard sounds tinny and rattles with out it. Especially with the stands up. A soft mat will cure this horrific curse.** Overall. If you don’t want to piss off your coworkers with your RGB, tactile, thocky, keyboard masterpiece (LETS GO KEYCHRON) definitely get this keyboard. If you don’t really care about keyboards in general just get a $35 dell or hp and call it a day. This isn’t the best office keyboard nor is it probably the best in its class. However it is good, and I do enjoy using it while I work in the office. Did I pay an extra $10 because it says cherry? Yes. Did it also come with a really cool calculator button that saves me 10 seconds of time? Also yes. If you get it you won’t regret it! Well maybe..honestly I don’t but idk you do you.

keyboard nice n hefty so stays put during use. mouse not ambidextrous with keys on left side and takes time to learn how to hit them with fore or middle finger for lefty use. on/off switches are nice. works with win11 but had to find an app or whatever to reprogram side keys, otherwise plug n play. overall, a good price for what seems a good product.

I use several wireless keyboards, at home and at various work locations. I have an old Logitech K235 (which is awful) that I decided to replace and decided on the Stream. I use the keyboard both for touch typing and as command keys for CAD work. The Stream keyboard lives up to the reputation of being a great keyboard. It's not quite to the level of the Logitech MX Keys in my opinion, but it definitely is responsive and feels good. The keyboard gets a solid A. The mouse, on the other hand, gets an F. It is a failure. The button presses easily gets misregistered unless you press firmly down on the button. If you relax your press a little bit, but not to the point of releasing past the tactile click that should be separating pressed versus unpressed states, the mouse registers a release even though your finger is pressed down. For data entry or casual web browsing use, where it's all about simple clicks, this mouse would be okay. But if you do a lot of precise clicking or dragging, the resulting errors are horrible. If quiet mouse clicks are important (to its credit, this mouse is quiet), you might let it pass with a D-. I thought it was just a defective unit. I contacted Cherry support who advised me to just exchange it for another set from Amazon. However, the replacement set had the same problem with the mouse. You can easily see the effect yourself. Fire up a painting program and draw series of lines, gently easing up on the finger pressure. You'll be able to easily find a dead zone where the mouse button still feels like you are pressing it down, but the mouse no longer thinks you are. I have attached a picture showing the resulting gaps (highlighted in red) from drawing a series of what should be continuous lines. So, the keyboard is great. The mouse is terrible. If the combo set is prices the same as the keyboard by itself, having the mouse as an emergency spare might be beneficial. But this mouse should not be a primary mouse. UPDATE 2025: I accidentally managed to break a key while moving equipment around. When I asked if I can purchase a replacement piece, their customer support promptly sent me a replacement part.

I have been on the hunt for several years trying to find a keyboard with these EXACT things: separate F-keys, multimedia keys (mainly volume, email, browser and calculator keys) SLIM, quiet keys like a laptop, wireless - NON-rechargeable, full sized with a backlight in the $50 range. So far this keyboard meets almost all of those minus backlight and quiet keys. I obviously am not docking this product for not having those because I knew full well what I was purchasing since I have yet to find a keyboard that meets all of those criteria exactly. However that being said, this is realllllly close to what i'm looking for. The keys are a little noisy, even with your fingers just resting on them however its easy, fast and accurate to type with. Added bonus IS THAT THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON HAS A LIGHT ON IT telling you when you have it on. Seems like a "duh" function, but there are many keyboards that turn off the caps lock light after sometime. This keyboard has almost everything that I need and nothing that I don't! It's also hefty and very well packaged. The mouse is actually really nice and somewhat hefty, however I noticed that the left mouse button requires a bit more pressure to 'stay' activated. (think click and drag scenario) I mainly purchased this just for the keyboard, but I think this is a great backup mouse. Overall, I can see myself with keyboard for some time and I think for the $50 range (considering I've tried several in the 20$ range) this was a great buy. Would definitely recommend.

Update the next day: This keyboard is not comfortable for me and the mouse is STIFF, hard to click and use, and too large for my hands. I my thumb is actually sore after trying to use it for an hour this morning. It worked great except the mouse didn’t seem to function well. Changing my 5 stars to 3. I just unboxed my delivery. I have been looking for a full size, wireless, white keyboard that is silent or has quiet keys. The keyboard is not as loud as it sounds in the video. I use a desk pad which should help with noise reduction. I liked how it didn’t move on the glass top. Everything feels great. I like the low profile mouse. I can’t wait to plug this into my work laptop tomorrow and really test it out with heavy typing. I will update my review if I end up with a malfunctioning keyboard or a lemon. The 1 star reviews scared me.

A month ago, I ordered a $19.95 keyboard that was so lightweight that it slid around on my desk when I used it. Even worse, I would type something and then go back to check on it, but several of the letters were often doubled or tripled. Or as the keyboard would type "doooubbbled orr tripplled". This new keyboard was $47.99, but it is weighted so it does not slide around at all. Seldom are letters doubled as with the cheap keyboard. I like that the Caps Lock key has a light on the key itself to show that it is typing in all caps. The cheap one had a light on the opposite side that was so faint, I had to squint to see if it was off or on. The Num Lock key on the new keyboard also has a light on the key itself. That may not seem important, but when you type a lot, it is quicker and less frustrating to have the better keyboard. I had to take a crowbar to my wallet in order to get the new keyboard (and a bat flew out of my wallet when I opened it), but it was well worth the extra cost!

I really wanted to like this. It is one of the better feeling keyboards to type on. The mouse was also surprisingly comfortable, as I don't usually like full size mice. However, the first one I ordered came in a package that had obviously been opened before and repackaged (thankfully at least with fresh batteries), even though it was listed as "new" and not "open box" (the seller was actually Cherry themselves). One of the rubber feet from the keyboard was already detached in the black tissue paper it comes wrapped in, but I was able to stick it back on. The keyboard would not power on at all without fidgeting with the batteries a little. I finally got it to work, and it was fine for about a week, and then the spacebar started to squeak. I exchanged it for another. The second one was fine also for about a week, and this time appeared to be unopened and had no problems powering on the keyboard. However, after a week, it thinks the ALT key is permanently depressed. Every keystroke registers as ALT + the key. I tried turning it off and on, replacing the batteries. Nothing helped. I also tried different USB ports just for the heck of it. Also, the mouse with the second set tended to sometimes lose the button press or register a double button press, which I didn't experience with the first one I returned. So I am returning this as defective and getting something else as these seem to be plagued with poor quality control. I am really disappointed in the quality. Even the USB transmitter, the metal piece is not glued to the plastic part. When removing it from the USB port, the metal tends to stay inserted while the plastic pulls out, so I had to use a pliers to extract the metal part from my port. This happened with BOTH keyboards I tried. FWIW, these are supposedly designed by Cherry in Germany, but they are manufactured in China. I really expected better than this, given Cherry's reputation and my past experience with their KC 6000 slim keyboard, which was excellent but fell the unfortunate victim of a spill, which prompted me to replace it with this.

Keyboard: Great build quality, doesn’t leave finger prints on keys, has all of the typical shortcuts that you would regularly use. Key strokes are quiet but audible, still MUCH quieter than any mechanical keyboard that I’ve used in recent memory- I used to be a mech or nothing kind of person, but this is nice! Mouse: Kinda cheap, definitely a low cost add on. Kinda mushy but the most quiet button clicks I’ve experienced on a mouse, so that may be an advantage to those in a very quiet work space or those that value silence. I’d still prefer a dedicated and probably more expensive gaming mouse. Overall, the price is definitely worth it for the keyboard alone, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.

Exactly as it was described A+

Privat sitzt man ständig an Logitech, Microsoft, oder anderen Tastaturen. Und jedes Mal, wenn ich an meine Cherrys zurückkehre, bin ich einfach froh, dass es Cherry gibt. Diese Tastaturen, und da ist die kabellose Cherry Stream keine Ausnahme, sind einfach von der Qualität, die man sich wünscht. Die Tasten wackeln nicht, der Druckpunkt ist perfekt, die Zusatzbuttons sind sinnvoll gewählt, die Ergonomie passt einfach auf ganzer Linie. Diese Stream sieht in Weiß auch noch gut aus. Die Maus ist für große Hände sehr gut, sie ist angenehm schwer, fühlt sich wertig an und die Silent-Tasten geben genug Feedback. Die LEDs sind an den richtigen Stellen und man hat alle Informationen, die man braucht, jederzeit im Blick. Andere Tastaturen schalten zum Stromsparen die LEDs nach ein paar Sekunden ab, auch wenn die Tastatur benutzt wird. Das einzige, wofür die Tastatur-Maus-Kombi nicht taugt, ist zum Transport. Das liegt aber einfach am Gewicht, das Set wiegt (gefühlt) mehr als mein Laptop.

avant : fait le job, pas de souci de connexion, très bien ! aujourd'hui : après plusieurs mois sans pb, clavier difficile à capter, qui tape plusieurs fois la même touche, souris récalcitrante, bref, à éviter

I bought the keyboard and mouse because of three things - wireless, "soft key board" and yes Cherry. I do not use the mouse (I use a separate vertical mouse. They keyboard is perfect especially if you are a touch typist. It is silent and "soft" yet hardy. Above all, the function keys are exactly function keys. They are not for volume or pausing and all that hybrid stuff which can be very irritating if you are coding. There are separate keys for that above the function keys. Very good keyboard. I am not surprised. Cherry never disappoints

Every time I order a keyboard from Cherry in the past year I have to return it because they keep sending me wrong layouts. This one came in quertz layout. I only ordered it because the wired ones were European layouts. I just want one like the 2 that I have, exactly the same, why aren't they making normal US layout keyboards for the Stream series anymore? I can't even just get the US with Euro key one even.
