Made for gaming – a functional, state-of-the-art keyboard featuring MX technology
Focused on what you need to play: The CHERRY MX 2.0S wired keyboard is all about functionality. High-quality materials combined with the tried-and-tested CHERRY MX technology combine to form a mechanical gaming keyboard in a timeless, minimalist look – designed in Germany. Depending on the model, the MX 2.0S is available in black or white, unlit or with impressive RGB lighting. When it comes to shift characteristics, you can choose between five different original CHERRY MX switches and assemble your keyboard to suit your playing style: Step up your game with the CHERRY MX 2.0S!
Simple and functional design
The CHERRY MX 2.0S keyboard is characterized by minimal, functional shaping and a straightforward design. The gaming keyboard was even awarded the “Special Mention” German Design Award in the “Excellent Product Design” award category in the subcategory, “Computer and Communication" in 2021. The focus is on pure function, based on the so-called “Bauhaus concept.”
The functional classic keyboard was designed by Prof. Peter Raab, lecturer at Coburg University of Applied Sciences. True to the Bauhaus design principles, a perfect, optimized connection between the interior and the exterior of the keyboard has been created. The CHERRY MX 2.0 S has extremely small edging for a slim and modern look with clean lines and no unnecessary frills. Abrasion-resistant key caps ensure that the key labeling remains easy to read even after years of use.
The tilt angle of the modern MX Gaming keyboard can be adjusted with the folding feet. To relieve your wrists during long and intense gaming sessions, get the matching CHERRY AC 2.3 wrist rest as a perfect complement to your CHERRY MX 2.0S keyboard.
RGB lighting in over 16 million colors: Individually customizable
Get the CHERRY MX 2.0S keyboard either with a deep black case and dark keys or in bright white – depending on what better fits your gaming setup. In addition, you can also choose between two different lighting variants: The rather unobtrusive standard version without key illumination or the eye-catching RGB version with over 16 million colors. Numerous color games, lighting modes or key assignments can be controlled super easily via the free CHERRY UTILITY software.
High-quality interior: Our original CHERRY MX switches
To ensure optimal performance in any situation, the MX 2.0S uses our in-house MX switches. The CHERRY keyboard with cable is available in five switch variants, each of which has slightly different characteristics. You can achieve tangible feedback without a click, for example, with the MX BROWN. Do you prefer your keyboard to be smooth and quiet? Then the CHERRY MX SILENT RED should adorn your keyboard.
Advanced features for your gaming experience
Whether you choose the MX BLACK, MX RED or CHERRY MX BROWN for your keyboard: CHERRY's patented Gold Crosspoint technology guarantees reliable contact performance, exemplary feedback and a flawless response speed regardless of the switch you choose. Multiple mechanical components under each key ensure a uniform feel. In addition, the CHERRY MX 2.0S keyboard offers all the useful features you would expect from a modern gaming keyboard:
Full-N-Key rollover ensures that all keys can be pressed and read simultaneously. Incorrect inputs are avoided by anti-ghosting. The WIN key Lock helps prevent inadvertently executed Windows commands when you're in the middle of your game. The CHERRY button gives you one-touch access to the CHERRY website and CHERRY UTILITY software, which allows you to make RGB lighting settings, among other things.
