The low-profile Cherry MX-LP 2.1 comes as part of a trio of gaming keyboard releases from the switch manufacturer, following a merger with gaming brand Xtrfy last year. These are the first decks to come out of this acquisition, and with Cherry's prominence in the switch space high hopes are in place.
The super lightweight 65% deck is certainly bringing something new to the world of the best gaming keyboards, a featherlight 423g weight and compact design makes for a particularly portable device. At $129.99 / £139.99 it's also got some stiff competition. I put the diddly deck to the test over the course of two weeks to see just how well that smaller form factor holds up for work and play.
