CHERRY introduces the KC 500 MX LP series, a new generation of slim mechanical keyboards engineered to meet the rigorous demands of power users. Tailored for office professionals, developers, programmers, and gamers alike, this series delivers a premium typing experience through the use of CHERRY's newly developed MX Low Profile 2.0 switches, manufactured in Germany. With a focus on optimised tactile feedback, modern ergonomics, and refined aesthetics, the CHERRY KC 500 MX LP keyboards are available in both full-size and Tenkeyless (TKL) layouts and offered in sleek black or warm grey finishes.
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 optimised 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 Colours, 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 grey 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.
