The Cherry MX-Board 3.0 G80-3850 is about as no-frills a design as you can get, but beneath the bland exterior is a well-made, general-use mechanical keyboard...
So out of all of the keyboards I have covered over the years, where does the Cherry MX-Board 3.0 fall? Well it is a bit of a weird situation. Typically a board that looks like this would actually be a low dollar budget keyboard for office use. Cherry fe...
As prosaic as the CHERRY MX-Board 3.0 is at its core, it's still a significant product. For one thing, it's tangible proof that the company is fully capable of producing not just components, but an entire product as well. This would be akin to someone t...
