Cherry KW 7011 Mini BT Keyboard Now Available For Mac
Peter Donnell / 9 months ago
We love our Windows PCs here at eTeknix, but we’re not ignorant to the fact that many of our readers are Mac users too! And I actually have been using a lot of the mini Cherry wireless keyboards over the years, as they’re really handy for travel, test benches and in some cases, use on consoles too. However, now the new KW 7100 MINI BT is coming to MAC!
This compact Bluetooth multi-device keyboard was released for Windows in 2023 but has now been retooled for Apple devices. Why they didn’t just release a dual-function one for Windows and Mac I don’t know, but there’s something to be said for dedicated hardware too. I’m glad to see they’ve kept the price sensible too, as sometimes just putting the word Apple or Mac on something automatically makes it way more expensive, but that’s not the case here.
Highlight features of the KW 7100 MINI BT FOR MAC include integrated media keys, three channels for linking to other Mac devices via Bluetooth and effortless switching between these three connected devices. The low profile and comfortable, quiet keys ensure a comfortable and efficient typing experience. With its slim, space-saving design, it appeals particularly to Mac users who are looking for both functionality and design.
Innovative functions and sustainability
The FN buttons on the KW 7100 MINI BT and KW 7100 MINI BT FOR MAC not only control Bluetooth channels and volume control, but also multimedia functions such as play, pause, and track selection. Status LEDs provide information about low battery level, activated turn-up and FN lock button as well as the current Bluetooth channel. With an integrated metal plate, the compact keyboard guarantees maximum stability. The height can also be customized using adjustable feet.
To minimize environmental impact, the keyboard comes in an eco-friendly paper packaging, while the included carrying case is made from recycled plastic for on-the-go convenience.
CHERRY SX scissor mechanism: Precision for a unique writing experience
The keyboard is equipped with the innovative CHERRY SX scissor mechanism, which ensures maximum precision when typing. The concave, quiet keys offer a smooth and fatigue-free typing experience. With a guarantee of more than 10 million keystrokes per key, the keyboard is particularly durable. The use of lasered key labelling also ensures the highest possible abrasion resistance.
Quality and performance
The KW 7100 MINI BT FOR MAC impresses with its stable, robust housing and high-quality materials for a long service life. The keyboard is equipped with replaceable 2 AAA lithium batteries and weighs 450 grams with dimensions of 11.6 x 5.1 x 0.6 inches.
