With the KW 9200 MINI, CHERRY is introducing a top-class product that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of technical features, quality and design. The extra-slim keyboard in compact format is perfectly suited for various areas of application and a lifestyle on the move. If you want a compact keyboard that's as comfortable to use as a full size one, the KW 9200 MINI is the ideal choice. With four different transmission channels, the wireless multi-device keyboard is ready for flexible work in any application environment - whether private or professional. The KW 9200 MINI fits into any bag, no matter how small, when being taken from one place to another. At the same time, this little gem comes with a protective carrying case made of recycled plastic.



Compatibility - a real all-rounder
There are virtually no limits when it comes to connecting the KW 9200 MINI to an end device. Thanks to its multi-device capability, the keyboard can be connected to up to four different end devices simultaneously via different channels. Using the F1-F4 keys, you can easily switch between the connection modes and control the desired device.

Two channels are available in Bluetooth mode. Whether with a desktop PC, laptop or tablet - the KW 9200 MINI works with practically any device that supports Bluetooth. For example, you can operate your laptop via the first Bluetooth channel and in a matter of seconds switch to your tablet on the second Bluetooth channel. For RF mode, simply plug the included nano receiver into a free USB port on your PC. Press F1 and you are directly connected.

The included cable with USB-A/USB-C connector is not just for charging the integrated battery: Select cable mode on F4 to activate data transfer via the cable as well. It's perfect for environments where wireless transmission is not wanted. The mini keyboard is also very economical even in RF or Bluetooth mode. One battery charge lets you work for weeks without recharging. Of course, you can carry on using the keyboard while it's charging.

Smart functions for more productivity
If you think the compact, minimalist design means you'll have to do without the advantages of a full-size keyboard, you couldn't be more wrong. The little all-rounder has plenty of useful functions up its sleeve. For example, you can access special functions such as picture or volume control by pressing the FN key. Multimedia functions such as play/pause and track selection haven't been forgotten either. If you want constant access to the special functions, simply press to lock the FN key.

The integrated battery status display is extremely useful in everyday work. The wireless mini keyboard flashes its LEDs to indicate in good time when the lithium battery needs charging. The status LEDs integrated into the keys are also extremely useful in everyday work. They indicate when the shift key or the FN lock key is activated. This makes annoying searching for active functions a thing of the past.

The recipe for success - the CHERRY SX scissor mechanism
Good typing characteristics are crucial for any keyboard. The CHERRY SX scissor action makes typing on the compact wireless keyboard a special highlight. The laptop-style keys are slightly concave, so your fingers find their way around them without you having to look. CHERRY's proprietary SX scissor technology provides a very quiet, precise typing experience and lets you glide your fingers effortlessly across the keys.

Minimalist look with ergonomic benefits
The KW 9200 MINI may be small - but it's still a full-fledged premium keyboard. Of course, it's ideally suited for mobile use, but it also plays fully to its strengths on your work desk. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it takes up very little space to help you keep your desk nice and tidy. This even has ergonomic advantages: Compared to standard-sized keyboards, your mouse arm is closer to the keyboard. This automatically leads to a better shoulder posture and can counteract tension.

The KW 9200 MINI is perfect example of how design and function can complement each other perfectly. The wireless keyboard makes your desk look tidier and is 100% in keeping with the spirit of the times. The combination of ultra-slim dimensions and keys with a discreet red background looks elegant and modern at the same time. The minimalist design philosophy behind it extends to the packaging, which contains no plastic and is kept as small as possible.

FEATURES:
Rechargeable multi-device compact keyboard with 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.0 and cable connection
  • 4 transmission channels: Two Bluetooth 5.0 low energy channels, one 2.4 GHz wireless channel and one wired channel
  • Extra-small nano receiver for wireless operation

  • Includes carrying case made of recycled plastic
  • Precise CHERRY SX scissor mechanism for an ideal operating feeling

  • Status LEDs integrated directly in the CAPS LOCK, NUM and FN keys
  • Easy access to special functions via FN key
  • Color LEDs indicate selected connection

In all honesty, i find that most complaints about 11 tend to be extremely outdated because they simply fix a lot of issues in the OS fairly rapidly (3-6 months) so people often have negative views on something they saw or read about that's simply long gone - or a newer, easier way to do things has been there all along (and always was, in 10)

The amount of people who didn't even know that even in 10 you can right click the start menu and get shortcuts to most of those things people claim are now hidden, just because one of many methods to access the settings changed and that's the only one they knew of

Waiting for the one with numpad...

Cherry already offers the KW9100 Slim which is a full-size.

You're right, all keyboards should have a trackball under the space bar... it's so annoying to reach for the mouse every time Windows decides the prompt must be somewhere else or when there's no typing input available. But please no touchpads!

Trackball or trackpad or something like Lenovo's laptop keyboards, but there's no keyboard like that for now.

why isn't it backlit?
One answer might be: because lighting encourages the counterproductive habit of looking at keys and consumes battery power.

For most keys, yes but special keys, specially in type of keyboards that doesn't use standard layout if you wanna use it in your bed when you are about to sleep, then no backlit is annoying.
