Tom's Guide Verdict

The Cherry KW 300 MX is a good mechanical keyboard for fans of a thocky sound profile. It’s compact and lightweight, making it great for travel or for those short on desk space. With great build quality and cross-platform compatibility to boot, it’s (almost) the complete package. Unfortunately, though, its Windows-only software and dim white backlighting leave a lot to be desired. You can get better value for your money elsewhere.

Pros

+ Compact design

+ Great build quality

+ Lovely to type on

+ Delightful sound profile

+ macOS keycaps included…

Cons

- …but no macOS software

- White (and dim) backlighting only

- A little expensive
