THE BOTTOM LINE. Vwxqqlqj#hduexgv#zlwk#lqfuhgleoh#
battery life and crystal clear sound. HOLLIN JONESCherry specializes in input devices like mice and
keyboards for office, gaming and industry uses.
While Apple’s own USB and wireless keyboards are
beautiful, they don’t offer the full set of function
keys, nor the sheer indestructibility, that heavy
users often need — plus they cost more than
regular keyboards. The Cherry Stream 3.0 is a
straightforward USB keyboard that requires no
drivers or special software — just plug it in and go.
It offers the kind of deep action keys that are
often preferred by those doing a lot of typing.
The keys are very quiet despite their size and
the keyboard is spill–resistant. There are keys you
don’t get on Apple’s standard keyboards like page
up and down, physical function keys and a numeric
keypad. The new Magic Keyboard has some of
them, but costs a lot more. If you need a solid and
durable keyboard, this is well worth a look.
THE BOTTOM LINE. A solid and reliable USB
keyboard with more input features than Apple’s
standard keyboard. HOLLIN JONESMaster & Dynamic
