Keyboard Cherry STREAM TKL Wired USB QWERTZ Swiss White, scissor switch, 94 keys, 1.8 m cable

Cherry STREAM TKL Wired USB QWERTZ Swiss White is a tenkeyless (TKL) wired keyboard designed for compact desktop setups where a full number pad is not required. The keyboard uses Cherry SX scissor switches across 94 keys to provide precise, low-noise typing and connects via a 1.8 m USB cable for stable, plug-and-play operation. The Swiss QWERTZ layout and white finish make it suitable for office, home, and professional environments that require reliable wired input and an ergonomic, space-saving profile.

Advantages

The STREAM TKL combines a reduced footprint with the same alphanumeric layout as standard Cherry full-size models, allowing users to keep familiar key positions while saving desk space. SX scissor switch technology delivers a defined actuation point and very quiet keystrokes, supporting prolonged productive typing. Integrated status indicators for Caps Lock and Scroll Lock are placed directly in the keycaps for quick visual feedback. The wired USB connection provides stable, driver-free Plug & Play operation and the keyboard includes six dedicated multimedia keys for convenient control of audio and media functions.

Suitable for

• Office users who seldom use a numeric keypad and prefer a compact keyboard layout
• Home users and students needing a quiet, reliable wired keyboard
• Professional environments where desk space is limited (e.g., trading desks, call centers)
• Industrial or service applications requiring compact keyboards for 19-inch drawer installations
• Users who prefer Swiss QWERTZ keyboard layout

When it may not be suitable

This TKL keyboard omits the numeric keypad, which may be unsuitable for users who frequently enter numeric data or rely on a dedicated numpad for accounting, data entry, or certain gaming setups. Although the keyboard provides improved ergonomics by shortening the distance to the mouse for right-handed users, those requiring a full-size layout or specialized mechanical switches may prefer a different model.

How to use

For additional customisation of key functions, optional CHERRY KEYS software can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether the absence of a numeric keypad fits your daily workflow
• Preference for the Swiss QWERTZ layout and key labelling
• Need for low-noise scissor switches versus other switch types
• Requirement for a wired USB connection and a 1.8 m cable length
• Desk space and ergonomic setup (distance to mouse and keyboard)

Usage recommendations

Place the keyboard centrally and adjust the keyboard height to maintain a neutral wrist position. For right-handed users, position the mouse close to the keyboard to benefit from the ergonomic advantage of the TKL design. Use the WetEx® protective film accessory in harsher environments to prolong the life of the keyboard and keep legends easy to read under frequent use.
