Mechanical keyboards utilize a different type of key switch technology for a more durable and unique typing experience. The Cherry MX Red switch has an actuation force of 45 g and features a linear travel with no tactile bump. This can be beneficial for users who don’t need the tactility of other switches. Additionally, with close actuation and release points, Cherry MX Red switches allow for easier double-tapping. Unlike Cherry MX Blue switches, these do not have an audible “click” mechanism, allowing for a quieter operation. Noise generated from this keyboard will be from the key either springing back into place or “bottoming out” – making contact with the back plate after a particularly hard press.

Type with ease, even after dark. Light the entire keyboard to see every key, or choose between five lighting patterns. Set the mood with breathing or serpent patterns. Light up each key you hit with reactive lighting, or choose random mode for a twinkling effect. Use FN+F12 to switch between illumination patterns and FN+F1/F2 to decrease or increase the brightness.

A curved profile, slim front, and angled keys work together to create a natural typing position for longer, more comfortable work. Choose your preferred position with additional tilt legs that let you switch between 4 and 8° angles.

Precision-built for typing, this keyboard is designed to provide the mechanics of a gaming keyboard and a sleek, modern look with floating keys and an aluminum top case.

The solid, anodized aluminum top ensures durability, while keys feature switches tested up to 50 million clicks and molded characters that won’t fade or wear off.

Despite its full keyboard design and number pad, the K845 is designed to provide a small footprint without skimping on productivity. You can even use FN keys to get easy access to 12 media and shortcut keys (F1-F12).
