CHERRY KW 9200 MINI, compact multitoetsenbord voor maximaal 4 apparaten, US internationale indeling (QWERTY), optionele aansluiting via Bluetooth, radio of kabel, oplaadbaar, zwart

Wollte eine kleine 60% Tastatur die zusätzlich zu Wireless auch über Kabel angebunden werden kann. Und dann fand ich die Cherry, die Bluetooth, Funk und USB unterstützt. Bis zu vier Geräte können verbunden werden und per Tastendruck kann man einfach umschalten. Der Tastenanschlag passt finde ich auch sehr gut, nicht so laut und die Haptik ist gut. Was schon in anderen Rezensionen bemängelt wurde stimmt allerdings wirklich. Die Beschriftung der Fn Tasten in Dunkelrot auf Schwarz kann man so gut wie nicht lesen, weiß nicht, weg sich das ausgedacht hat. Auf jeden Fall funktionieren die Fn Tasten auch unter Linux Mint, zum Beispiel Audio lauter und leiser schalten oder das Umschalten zwischen den gekoppelten Geräten.Die Tastatur macht insgesamt einen hochwertigen Eindruck und besteht aus robusten Materialien. Abschließend möchte ich noch erwähnen, dass Cherry einen Nostalgiefaktor für mich hat, denn so eine hatte ich schon auf meinem ersten PC, einen 386er im Jahre 1992.Dazu habe ich mir eine CHERRY MW 2400 Funk Maus gekauft. Ein super Paar, die zwei.

I've been looking for a compact keyboard for mobile work purposes, and I've tried several over the years, and this one fits the bill. I purchased the "British Layout" version.I was interested to buy the Cherry keyboard, because I have used larger Cherry keyboards for years in "server rooms". Cherry manufactures industrial keyboards too, and they are extremely reliable!This Cherry KW 9200 MINI keyboard is more expensive than other manufacturer keyboards, but you will get a lot of use out of it, since you can configure two Bluetooth devices, plus a USB wireless receiver, plus a wired USB connection. It is therefore operable with home PC and laptops, phones and tablets. It even paired with a home television (Sony; go to Settings->Remotes and Accessories to pair it).The size of the keyboard is great - it is just under 5 cm wider than a typical tablet (iPad 10.9" or iPad 11"). This means that it is larger than typical iPad keyboards, that feel cramped. In exchange for the 5 cm increase, the benefit is that the keyboard has a full set of function keys, and extremely large spacebar, return key, delete key and even cursor keys. In fact the key area is slightly wider than that on my 15" laptop! I feel very productive working on the Cherry keyboard.What I don't like about the keyboard is that the lettering on the function keys is tiny, in red, which is hard to read with the black background. They are important keys (like print screen, insert, home, end) and it's not fun having to peer closely just to see which key is which. I get that the colour red is kind of important for the Cherry brand, but I would have preferred light-grey, or even sky-blue colour options instead of red, since the user should always be number one. Similarly, it is hard to know if the keyboard has been switched off, because there is no green or red paint indication; it is all grey in the switch area. There is a red LED but it won't stay lit (to conserve power) so a coloured paint marking would have helped too. On the plus side, I liked that the switch feels rugged, I doubt it will break.The underside of the keyboard has rubber inserts, which are unlikely to slide off since they are within plastic mouldings. The keyboard does not slip, even with the tilt angle pieces flipped out.Incidentally those tilt angle pieces are extremely useful when you're mobile, because you can then slide a tablet stand base beneath the keyboard (see the photo). I used a Lamacall raised tilt angle stand, it works well with the Cherry keyboard and a 11" tablet as you can see in the photo, and it's all a great combined portable solution.One negative point isn't really Cherry's fault; it is an Apple issue, is that Apple keyboards are just weird. They do not entirely map to standard Windows/IBM type keyboards; a few keys are different. My solution was to print off some stickers and place them on the keys (the Cherry key caps are fairly flat, so stickers are a possibility). I wish Cherry or some other manufacturer would supply stickers. Anyway, if you have a glossy sticky photo camera or a label printer (I used a Brother VC-500W) it's easy to print off sticky plastic labels. They may peel off one day, but hopefully by then I will be able to memorise those key differences.Some manufacturers offer Apple-only keyboard variants, but I don't like those, because I tend to use Apple and Android and Windows devices. I like that the Cherry keyboard can work will all of these, it's just missing the legends for the few keys that are different with Apple. Perhaps Cherry could consider adding those legends in a different colour on those keys in a future product revision?The keyboard comes with a long (1.4 metre) USB cable with a USB-C end to connect to the keyboard, and a USB type A connector to plug into PCs. Note that a USB-C to USB-C cable will not work. I don't know the reason. I tried it, and it doesn't work with a Windows PC with USB-C connector, nor with an Android phone with USB-C connector. If your device does not have a USB Type A connector, then you will need to use Bluetooth. Anyway, I can't see any significant downside to USB-C not being supported, since every computing device these days supports Bluetooth, even if USB Type A may eventually one day fade away from usage.One point to note, is that the keyboard weighs just over 400 grams. This may initially sound a lot, especially considering that something like Logitech Keys-to-Go weighs less than half, but then the latter does not have proper keys. The Cherry keyboard has keys that feel better than a high-end laptop.Compared to (say) Logitech K380, the weight difference is small - just 40 grams difference. Plus, the Cherry keyboard has a built-in USB-C rechargeable battery, whereas the K380 will require 2 x AA cells. The Cherry keyboard feels way better built too.The keyboard also comes with a black neoprene bag. It's great.Note that from the photos it looks like the keyboard illuminates, but it doesn't. I don't mind that too much, because the white lettering on the black background is extremely clear, andIn summary, I really like this keyboard, and although time will tell, I currently do not doubt that it will likely continue to be useful for many years to come, certainly outlasting my phone and tablet.If I could change anything, my No. 1 feature request for Cherry would be for the manufacturer to provide some stickers for iPad users, or alternatively to provide the lettering as standard on the keyboard, for instance in a different colour, so that iPad users know to look at the different colour to know what that key does. Other than that, I would struggle to find any significant issue or flaw.

The Cherry KW 9200 Mini offers a solid typing feel with plenty of tactile feedback. In fact, the keys on this keyboard are unlike any other scissor switch I've used, and make the MX Keys Mini's feel cheap by comparison; they are decisively tactile and non-mushy, and also heavier than most, which does take some getting used to.The keyboard is thin and has a low typing angle by default, which is great for ergonomics, though it also features flip out feet to provide a greater angle if this is preferred. While the key spacing is a full-size 19mm, the keys themselves have a slightly smaller surface area than most keyboards I've used, which can make it feel a bit strange when first getting used to it. The keyboard has a fairly consistent 6-key rollover that shouldn't pose an issue for most uses, including gaming. Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4ghz connectivity all perform excellently, and the battery life is great as well.The build quality of the keyboard is okay. There is substantial flex and creaking in the plastic ridge at the front of the keyboard, which doesn't pose a huge issue but is a little off-putting. The spacebar stabilizers aren't amazing, which causes the spacebar to feel and sound slightly less satisfying than other keys. Additionally, several other keys feel slightly off, such as crunchiness on one corner of the FN key and mushiness on the right side of the caps lock key (likely as a result of the LED indicators interfering with the switches). However, unlike other membrane Cherry keyboards (such as the current generation of Cherry Streams), the KW 9200 Mini is holding up well and its keys are still functioning properly after extended use.Overall, this is a solid wireless keyboard with the standout features of wired connectivity, which is strangely missing from most of its competitors, and a ridiculously solid typing feel. The lack of backlighting may be a deal breaker for some, but contributes to a longer battery life when using the keyboard wirelessly.

Works as expected.

Ce clavier externe est pratique:- le câble USB permet la connexion directe et recharge la batterie du clavier- la clé Bluetooth permet la connexion sans câble- le clavier est de bonne qualité mais sans rétro-éclairage
