Cherry Ultraslim

A TKL keyboard running Cherry ML switches. A wired connection and single-color backlighting round out the spec sheet. TKL frees mouse space without sacrificing the function row. Switch feel is personal; try the switch type before committing if you can.

Its $70.28 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost. Support and warranty service run through Cherry, with terms that vary by region. Scroll down for the complete spec table; the builder's compatibility checker will warn you about any conflicts with components you have already picked.
