## Questions & Answers

**Q: What layout is this? the title says uk, but the pictures show german.**
A: I bought one a long time ago and it was UK layout. I remember being confused about the picture too.

**Q: Can I use on an iMac?**
A: Hi, I'm using it on a Mac Mini with no issues whatsoever, you will just have to go through a setup step when you first plug it in, (literally press one key when asked) and the Mac finds it without a problem. You will have to get used to using the 'Shift and 2' keys to get the @, as it is windows based, but other than that, there isn't an issue. As an aside, I write for a living and bought mine to replace my Mac keyboard that had lost the use of the escape key, but on using it for the first time I found the keyboard far too 'clacky' for me to use as a work tool, I found it too distracting. I bought a Microsoft wired 600 keyboard and find it 100% better, far quieter, and it even has volume keys that work (unlike the Cherry). If you like good old mechanical keyboards that provide lots of feedback as you type, the Cherry will be perfect. Hope this helped!

**Q: Is this uk or german layout? the one pictured appears to be german**
A: The item model number is "JK-0800GB-2". Note the GB in it, so it's the GB layout despite the pictures.

**Q: does this item have a pound sign?**
A: No, and this keyboard does not work well with Windows unless you tell it you are in USA. It does, however, have a Euro sign. The Cherry KC-1000 is absolutely fine in UK provided you buy the correct product code, which is JK-0800GB-0. This one is JK-0800EU-0. You can get the GB one from, for example, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B018WJO8Q2/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item with whom I am not connected. Note that although the latter is described as grey it is in fact the same whitish colour as those that are described as white.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bargain, quiet wired keyboard
*by R***S on 1 April 2025*

Somehow I managed to get this for £11, and I'd say it's probably the nicest keyboard I've had!I was using a cheap Logitech MK295 wireless keyboard, which is quieter and feels nice to use but the stupid thing was constantly dropping connection, or going through batteries quite quickly.So I decided to go back to a wired keyboard as I need it all day for work, this Cherry one is very nice to use, I like the keys and the sound is absolutely fine. I'd describe it as quiet, definitely not silent.It's worth going to their website to download the software that allows you to change the default keys in the top right, you can set them to whatever you want (very useful!).If I fancy an upgrade to this one, I'd definitely stick with Cherry and perhaps go for the Stream model, although I'm not entirely sure what would make that one worth 3x the price but it's still affordable and a very good brand in my opinion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Keyboard!
*by W***A on 11 April 2019*

I'd began to try mechanical keyboards several years ago (believing at the time that they could be superior in comfort and overall experience); however, it wasn't until recently - when I had to buy a traditional membrane keyboard out of necessity - that it was made clear to me that I was quite wrong [from my POV I mean, as this is entirely subjective...]. I couldn't quite believe how pleasant and non-fatiguing it was to type on a membrane keyboard again. So much so that I'm now selling my mechanicals and will be sticking to these ones from now on (I've bought two of these KC 1000's, one white and one black - for the two computers I own).So, to get back to this keyboard - not only was I pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it looks (a very pleasant innoffensive off/warm-white colour) but the quality is also there, with keys requiring just the right amount of pressure to engage; not too much and not too litte. It's for this reason that I find it to be a very comfortable (and non-fatiguing) typing experience. Low noise too, keys being very quiet and with no discernable creaking or rattling of the keyboard chassis.As you can tell, I really am smitten. I've bought Cherry brand keyboard in the past (mech. only) and this met the equivelant quality as far as I'm concerned. In all honesty I can't really find fault with it as yet, nothing jumps out at you as being badly designed or crappy - it's just a good, honest keyboard and for the money it's a real steal. Prior to this I'd bought a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse set and the keyboard on that rattled around pretty badly and really let it down. Now looking to sell it!A brilliant product and very glad I took the gamble on buying the KC 1000, great value as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good keyboard but...
*by D***C on 8 June 2023*

Mine has a slight bow in it which means it doesn't sit flat on the desk. Couldn't be bothered returning it so have slipped some card under one corner. Apart from that it's a fairly decent keyboard with good action on the keys. I bought it for the full size return key, shortcut keys and for the brand name, which gets good reviews. Just a pity about the wobble.
