Performance of Cherry keyboard:
CHERRY is the most mainstream manufacturer of mechanical keyboard shafts (mainly mx shafts), which is somewhat It feels like a monopoly. Other manufacturers of mx-axis mechanical keyboards buy their switches from him.
But Cherry is not only about axes, but also its workmanship is very good. As the only gaming peripheral factory manufactured in Germany, there is no doubt about the products it produces. But his latest two products, namely 3800 (2.0) and 3850 (3.0), are manufactured in China (actually the cheapest).
It was mainly made to allow more people to use mechanical keyboards, but the workmanship and design are difficult to satisfy. Although the price is nearly twice as cheap, it is not as good as Cherry's German products, so I don’t recommend buying these two models.
But it doesn’t mean that Cherry’s shafts are the best. There are many manufacturers that buy Cherry’s shafts and the ones they make are also top-notch, such as filco, ducky, das and the like are all very good. I Personally, I think the workmanship of these products is better than that of Cherry. Of course, the prices are more than a thousand yuan.
