CHERRY KW 550 MX LP
The CHERRY KW 550 MX LP is one of our first office keyboards to feature the enhanced CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE 2.0 switches. These switches create a modern look with an extra-low profile but still offer you all the benefits of a mechanical keyboard. The compact 96% format means you can enjoy more space on your desk without having to sacrifice the numeric keypad. The wireless mechanical keyboard also features multi-device functionality for up to four devices, abrasion-resistant PBT keycaps and white key lighting with additional color LEDs for the status keys and special keys. You can also keep working while the keyboard is charging — simply type away as usual.

MECHANICAL, SLIM AND COMPACT
The advanced CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0 switches enable a modern, flat design without dispensing with the benefits of a mechanical keyboard. Enjoy a short keystroke with fast release and without giving up the characteristic feel of CHERRY MX! The compact 96% layout, or 1800 layout, gives you more space on your desk and allows your shoulders to take on a more natural posture. However, you also retain access to the number block.
MULTI-DEVICE CONTROL
Connect up to four devices simultaneously via a cable channel, or three Bluetooth channels. This allows you to control computers, notebooks, tablets or smartphones, and conveniently switch back and forth at the touch of a button.
ABRASION-RESISTANT PBT KEY CAPS
The in-house PBT key caps are manufactured using a complex double-shot, or two-component, injection molding process. This means that there is no need for printing or loading. The letters are injected directly from the plastic and are therefore permanently abrasion-resistant. In addition, this material has a positive effect on the typing experience and ensures a highly satisfying muffled sound when typing.
LIGHTING
All the other keys also have integrated LEDs. The white key lighting features 10 dimming levels or can be turned off completely. Status keys such as Channels 1–4, CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK and WIN have an additional color LED. This way, each key tells you whether its associated function is activated. There is even an RGB LED under the CHERRY key that shows you the battery status during charging. With a full charge, you can work for several weeks, depending on the selected lighting and mode of operation. It can even work for one year or more when the lighting is switched off.
FOR USERS WHO WANT IT ALL
The CHERRY KW 550 MX LP is a complete mechanical keyboard and a modern slim keyboard all in one. It has all the standard keys, including a number pad, while remaining compact. It is illuminated, rechargeable and displays high attention to detail and an uncompromising quality, making it the perfect all-rounder for anyone who wants performance and design without compromise.
