CHERRY Stream Desktop Recharge, Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo, 2.4 GHz Connection, Quiet Keys, Slim Design, Comfortable Writing, Rechargeable, White-Gray

I wanted to find a new keyboard for my roommate as a Christmas present who spilled juice on his old one. I did a Google search and one of the first links was PC Magazine and of the 5 keyboards they recommended I decides to check out the Cherry Storm at Amazon. Was impressed with the reviews and decided to Google other reviews and they were all great. I was leary about spending 90 dollars on just a keyboard which was the going price on every site I checked. Amazon luckily had the keyboard and mouse combo on special for just under 37, so I ordered the set. Received it was impressed with the eco friendly packaging, the build quality of both the keyboard and mouse, the fact that bot are rechargeable and come with the recharging cord. I was so pleased with the general look and feel decided to give them a run myself to see if I wanted a set. Extremely happy to say wish I had known about Cherry products before cause the overall quality and durability simply blows any of my past keyboards and mice out of the water. I then proceed to purchase the second at the same price so my roommate could have his. On closing I would strongly recommend keyboards and mice from Cherry.

Cherry is clearly a company that cares about their customers and the environment. The box was shipped without any wasteful outer box. The box did not contain any plastic whatsoever. The included batteries did not have any stupid single use plastic wrap that does nothing. Everything was neatly packaged in black tissue paper. Apart from the packaging, there are more than a few notable features of this product. The rechargeable batteries are standard user replaceable NIMH batteries. The chemistry of NIMH is better for the planet, more recyclable, stable, and safer than LIPO counterparts. I wish other manufacturers would follow this example. The product is clearly built to last. The plastic used in the keys feels outstanding, with a chalky texture that is comfortable on the fingers. Both the mouse and the keyboard chassis are robust and thick. The mouse feels outstanding in the hands due to the perfectly tuned silent mouse switches and heavy-duty plastic shell. Finally, the typing experience on the keyboard is unparalleled in terms of accuracy and comfort. These key switches may be some of the best on the market, even when compared to overrated mechanical keyboards. They are swift, tactile, and perfectly shaped. The keyboard layout is perfectly tuned, with outstanding media controls and only useful function features. Overall, it is the best keyboard I have ever used for productivity.

Got this to use with my Mac mini. Worked great. I really like the way the keys click and how the mouse fits my hand. That’s really all I look for in a keyboard and mouse. I use the computer probably 3-4 hours a week occasionally more but I haven’t charged the batteries since I got it.

Mouse just randomly stopped working. I’ve changed batteries and reset the computer. The light won’t even come on, on the mouse any more. Very disappointed!!

Works as advertised. Very quiet keyboard and mouse. Well made.

Does anybody still like a jerky scroll wheel? I've been using a "freewheel" mouse and didn't realize the jerky mice are still a thing, when I ordered this. They are infinitely better, IMO, and the clicky, jerky ones need to be retired. What is the point? Impossible to do precision scrolling.

These are really sturdy keyboard and mouse. They have a sooth feel. I like them better than my previous Logitech and Microsoft sets.

I like the feel of keyboard and mouse.

I bought this for the keyboard and so far I am loving it. My previous daily driver was a brown switch mechanical keyboard, before that 2 scissor switch Logi keyboards. The Stream is definitely louder than my previous scissor switch keyboards but has a far more satisfying typing experience. I would say it is close to a brown switch. No issues with connecting or recharging (I haven't had it enough time with it to judge battery life). Biggest issue that I have had is being able to download the Cherry Keys software. The download page on the Cherry website doesn't work, but managed to download it from the German Cherry site. The mouse is just ok, does the job, is quiet but I don't use it. If it had bluetooth it would make a good travel mouse.

The mouse is poorly designed. Your thumb rests on the backward and forward side buttons. It makes it difficult to avoid accidentally clicking them when moving the mouse. The mouse itself is a very low profile which caused pain in my hand after using it for a more than a few minutes.
