Cherry introduces STREAM keyboard
Cherry introduces the new STREAM keyboard, the perfect workhorse for professional work environments. With the many satisfied users of the original STREAM in mind, Cherry has upgraded the keyboard with extended functionality, a modern look, and
CHERRY has equipped the STREAM KEYBOARD with its own proven SX scissor technology, giving the keyboard a comfortable typing feel and uncompromising precision. During development, special attention was paid to the typing sound; compared to the previous model – which was already very quiet – the noise level has been reduced even further. This makes the STREAM KEYBOARD the best choice for open-plan offices with numerous workstations, where employee productivity benefits from a low-noise environment.
Robust, everyday companion for demanding power users
In modern office environments, keyboards and mice have become indispensable everyday companions, being exposed to continuous stress for hours on end. It's therefore vital that these peripherals combine outstanding functionality with an appealing design. The STREAM KEYBOARD sets the standard: CHERRY has combined a conventional yet elegant and minimalistic look with a slim profile, resulting in a visually attractive keyboard for the modern desktop.
Outstanding ergonomics and high durability
Design was not the only focus of the STREAM KEYBOARD: a metal backplate guarantees torsional rigidity, stability, and a firm stand on the desk. Eight rubber pads on the bottom of the keyboard prevent it from slipping, even when the feet are folded out. The STREAM KEYBOARD also features convincing ergonomics: its flat design and adjustable tilt enable fatigue-free and ergonomic operation. This combination of comfort and robustness makes the STREAM KEYBOARD an extremely durable input device and thus an ideal component of a sustainable office equipment. The long service life of this keyboard is also beneficial to the environment.
Highest build quality and ease-of-use
As always, CHERRY relies on high-quality materials that are able to withstand the stress of office use over a long period of time. The key lettering in the stylish and easy-to-read CHERRY font also withstands intensive use. The STREAM KEYBOARD offers ten additional hotkeys to open useful applications like the browser, e-mail client, and calculator, or to aid in common office tasks and control multimedia functions. It's also possible to lock the computer with a hotkey; this security aspect is particularly useful to office users as it makes it much easier to log off before leaving the workplace.
CHERRY has integrated red LEDs directly into the CapsLock, NumLock and ScrollLock buttons to indicate their current status. The CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD connects directly to the PC via USB. There are no drivers required to use this keyboard as it's Plug&Play compatible.
"Blue Angel" And "Tested Safety" certified
Compliance with quality and environmental guidelines is very important to CHERRY, especially for products to be used in the workspace. The STREAM KEYBOARD carries the GS seal ("Tested Safety"), fulfilling the European requirements and regulations for the protection of safety and health, and the "Blue Angel" certification guarantees that this keyboard is recognised as an environmentally friendly and sustainable product. This new version of the classic CHERRY STREAM sets a new standard for those looking for a reliable keyboard in the office or at home.
The CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD is available from October 2019 in pale grey and black at a recommended retail price of £23.99 / €29.99.

Get yourself a Topre if you like rubber domes so much.

I admit I've never used one but I see little point in replacing a dome switch with a mechanical one that tries to emulate it, since everything traditionally associated with mechanical switches tends to be things I dislike. (Ie. the feel, the travel, the noise, the price.)
Luckily my current keyboard is still fine, and while the keyboard market is distinctly slanted towards mechanical (at least as far as what's marketed towards the enthusiast demographic goes) it's not like it's difficult to pick up dome switch keyboard. Cherry just happens to make quite good ones.

Topre are electrostatic capacitive non-contact keyboard switches with a dome at its base. Do you research first before you write something as ignorant as that.

It's not really rubber and not really mecanical at the same time...
Sadly it tend to be rare on keyboard, i love those, very confortable with almost the feel of mecanical keyboard and not so noisy as a mecanical.
i would love an ISO HHKB, but i can't import one.

As a scissor switch fan I approve of this, might be just the thing once my aging Logitech Ultra X Premium finally packs it in.
