With the new CHERRY KC 500 MX LP series, CHERRY is launching two slim mechanical keyboards developed specifically to meet the high demands of power users. Whether for office professionals who type extensively or for developers, programmers, and gamers, mechanical switches offer a highly valued typing experience.
As the first models ever to feature the new CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0 switches, these keyboards stand out with their optimized tactile feedback, improved acoustics, and exceptional durability. The CHERRY KC 500 MX LP is available in both a classic full-size version and a compact tenkeyless (TKL) format – combining cutting-edge technology with elegant design and maximum comfort.
Precision Meets Design – with CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0
The CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0 mechanical switches have been comprehensively refined: with a redesigned spring, premium-grade lubricant applied with precision, and optimized mechanics, they deliver a smooth and quieter typing experience – with a lifespan of over 100 million keystrokes without loss in quality. Their low-profile construction supports ergonomic typing for extended periods, promoting a relaxed hand posture.
High-Quality Materials for Long-Lasting Performance
The combination of these new switches with durable PBT keycaps offers a premium typing experience – long-lasting, stable, and resistant to shine from wear. A robust metal plate construction ensures excellent stability while maintaining a slim profile. Adjustable feet, status LEDs, and subtle, dimmable white backlighting complete the professional package.
Two Layouts, Two Colors, One Commitment: Quality
Whether with or without a number pad, the CHERRY KC 500 MX LP series offers the right layout for any workflow. The full-size model is ideal for intensive data entry, while the more compact TKL version caters to users who prefer a tidier setup and more desk space. Both models come in stylish black or warm gray and integrate seamlessly into modern workspaces and gaming environments.
The CHERRY KC 500 MX LP series is designed for those with the highest standards: prolific typists, creative professionals, developers, and gamers who demand precision input, an exceptional typing feel, and reliable technology. These keyboards are also ideal for users transitioning from traditional membrane keyboards to mechanical models – without compromising on ergonomics or noise levels.
The CHERRY KC 500 MX LP is available now. The suggested retail price is €109.99 for the full-size version and €99.99 for the TKL version.
