The KC 200 MX isn’t just about performance; it’s also designed to enhance your workstation. This full-size wired keyboard is built to withstand daily office use, thanks to its reliable and durable construction. The anodized metal plate ensures a sturdy base, while the slip-proof, height-adjustable snap-out feet provide stability and customizable typing angles. The keyboard also features four special keys above the Num pad for easy access to volume controls and the calculator app. Additionally, users can personalize their experience with customizable function keys using the CHERRY KEYS software. With built-in status LEDs for Caps, Scroll, and Num Locks, users can easily see which functions are activated at a glance.

For those seeking ultimate comfort, the KC 200 MX can be paired with CHERRY’s Palmrest Ergo, offering a relaxed and ergonomic typing experience. The laser-etched ABS keycaps are abrasion-proof, ensuring longevity even with heavy use. With a lifespan of up to 100 million actuations (depending on the switch variant), the KC 200 MX is built to be a reliable companion on your desk for years to come.

The KC 200 MX is now available for purchase on Amazon, priced at $89.99. If you’re in the market for a mechanical keyboard that combines functionality, durability, and sleek design, the KC 200 MX is definitely worth considering.

Technology Explained

Anti-Ghosting: Anti-Ghosting is a technology used in computer keyboards that prevents the “ghosting” or inadvertent striking of multiple keys at the same time. This technology does this by rearranging the electrical pathways of the keyboard circuitry, allowing more than the conventional number of keystrokes to be registered simultaneously without interference. Anti-ghosting is most commonly used in gaming keyboards, allowing gamers to press multiple keys at once to perform complex commands without issue. The technology is also used in some standard keyboards, increasing user flexibility and convenience while typing.

N-key Rollover: N-key Rollover (NKRO) is a technology in the computer industry used to prevent the loss of key presses due to the limitation of how many keys a PC can detect at one time. It enables a PC to detect more than the limited number of keys usually recognized by a computer. By using NKRO, a large number of keys can be pressed and recognized individually even if many of them are pressed simultaneously. This technology can be used in applications such as gaming, typing, using the Internet, or any other task requiring a high accuracy in multiple keypresses. NKRO also ensures maximum macro speed by allowing users to press multiple macro keys simultaneously without overwhelming the processor or causing any conflicts. The applications of NKRO in the computer industry are widely varied and are only increasing due to the ever-growing demand for improved performance in various operations.
