Cherry KW 7100 Mini BT: great compact travel keyboard

The Cherry KW 7100 Mini BT is a compact travel keyboard that impresses with its performance and price. Available in pastel colors like Cherry Blossom (pink) and Agave Green, or a standard black, this keyboard is designed with portability in mind. It comes with a recycled plastic travel pouch, which adds to its eco-friendly appeal. The build quality is high, and the keyboard features Cherry's SX scissor mechanism. This provides a comfortable typing experience similar to that of a good laptop, while being much quieter than mechanical keyboards. The KW 7100 Mini is practical. It has large keys for easy typing and can withstand over ten million key presses. Its key lettering is protected by a UV coating, ensuring it looks good over time. Cherry offers a three-year warranty, reflecting their confidence in product durability. Functionality includes customizable function keys accessed through Cherry Keys software. However, the keyboard lacks backlighting and does not come with a USB adapter. It also does not support Apple devices, limiting its versatility. Battery life is good, relying on two AAA batteries, which can last for several months, depending on use. Additionally, there’s an option to buy a matching Cherry Gentix BT mouse for added convenience. The KW 7100 Mini BT may not suit everyone, especially Apple users or those seeking advanced features, but it’s a great option for users looking for a simple, travel-friendly keyboard.
