CHERRY, specialist in computer input devices, is presenting the MX Board 6.0, the world's most responsive performance keyboard for enthusiasts. The keyboard combines the latest RealKey-technology for analog signal processing with the proven and precise MX-switches for uncompromised performance. With this flagship model, CHERRY aims for an absolute puristic design of the highest quality.

With its RealKey-technology, the MX Board 6.0 achieves unmatched performance. Thanks to an analogue signal path, all buttons are connected directly to the controller, so there is no need for digital scanning of the switching points. The MX Board 6.0 can rapidly transmit signals to the PC in less than a millisecond and is ideally suited for situations where response time is crucial. In contrast, conventional mechanical keyboards works much slower and need around 20 milliseconds because of their signal conversion. More so, RK-technology allows for a full N-key rollover and 100 percent reliable anti-ghosting. CHERRY ensures that all keys can be read simultaneously, actively preventing any erroneous interpretation of the signal inputs.



Proven MX technology
The MX Board 6.0 has been fully equipped with its own, German engineered, high-quality gold-crosspoint switches, which have a lifespan of more than 50 million operations, allowing CHERRY to guarantee the highest precision when triggered. The new performance keyboard utilizes red switches, which operate without tactile feedback and minimal resistance. The linear actuation force is 45 centinewton. Each switch is also equipped with a red LED. This gives the MX Board 6.0 an even backlight with brightness control. The matching laser-engraved keycaps are optimized to achieve perfect illumination. CHERRY has accomplished this by using higher key caps, like with the G80-3000. With this change, unwanted illumination of the key gaps are eliminated.

Feature set for enthusiasts
In order to make long-term use more comfortable, users can attach an included rubberized palm rest. Its easy handling is guaranteed thanks to a sophisticated mounting magnet system, allowing the palm rest to quickly be removed for cleaning or stowing. CHERRY is catering to enthusiasts with the configurable Windows key, bi-color status keys and twelve function keys that can be assigned with two different functions.

Purist design and excellent craftmanship
Despite its eye-catching backlight, the MX Board 6.0 features a basic and puristic design. CHERRY has chosen for a high-quality 454 x 147 x 24,8 mm housing. The upper side is made of aluminum with a sanded finish; a grease-repellent coating ensures high resistance against everyday influences. The high quality of the keyboard is complemented by its textile braided, two-meter long USB-cable.

Price and availability
CHERRY offers this new responsive, high-end keyboard for the performance segment at a suggested retail price of €189. The MX Board 6.0 is commercially available as of now.

Put the F1-12 keys row apart from the rest (more space with next row)
Stuff RGB crap, LED with intensity levels is enough
Make/use silent keys
Make true media control keys not Alt-keys. Volume wheel, not key. Media keys do not need to be expensive mechanicals.
Make it look much better, this is not a superserious design like Daskeyboard or Corsairs.
2 USB ports or die.
 
This is keyboard for me, she will retire all other components.
Not circus and lightshow from RGB keyboards.
Where is available in EU?
Except aluminum structure, mechanical keys and keys visible in dark at least white LED for me is very important font look... and this keyboard have nice fonts.
She is available with Red Cherry MX switches?

If someone want to sell I give now 150e immediately for this keyboard.

Deck Hassium Pro?
 
Sure nice keyboard but it was at least a year to late for me, and i am not to fond of add on wrist rests.

Other wise yes it seems a very nice keyboard.
 
One big advantage of K70 is because keys are on flat surface and it's much better for cleaning and dust can't collect easy as on this keyboard. That's only real advantage of K70 over this model.
Response time and durability I think are on side of Board 6.0.
I saw this model on Alternate.de for 169e but Auf Lager at the moment.

There are few more very nice models I like and very tight competiton...

Ducky Legend - Silver and Black - 5mm thick aluminum about 180$ very nice model

Ducky Zero DK2108S LED - about 140$

Deck Hassium Pro 108 - 180$

Das Keyboard 4 Professional - 170$

For me all of them are very nice keyboards and very tight competition, except that no way to pay something as Logitech, Razer, now when these models are available. In my country Logitech G19 few years old cost over 210e. I don't know who will pay something like that near so much nice models.
