is nx.com hey guys we were walking

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:16,560
through and I checked out the map and saw that there was a cherry Booth anyone

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,439
who knows me anyone who watches the live stream anyone who's on the Forum a ton

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,640
will know that I'm a huge fan of mechanical keyboards so just if anyone

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,960
was wondering if you're buying a usually if you're buying a mechanical keyboard

8
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:32,040
on a general shop today it will most likely be with cherry switches behind it

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,160
Cherry switch is a mechanical switch I brought my own keyboard today I didn't

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,399
want to take apart theirs this is kind of what a Cherry MX switch will look

11
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:41,559
like that this is currently a blue with an LED on it not all of them will look

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,360
like that I just had to show off my own keyboard sorry I chill out a little bit

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,640
um so yeah if you're wondering who's behind your keyboard if you are running

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,320
a general mechanical keyboard that has Cherry MX switches it's Cherry these are

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,680
them they make a ton of different keyboards you probably haven't heard of them because they make more business

16
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:00,800
level keyboards or more embedded systems keyboards but they're great keyboards

17
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:04,400
and they're running the same switches that are on your on your mechanical

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,159
keyboards sometimes if you go to say like a hotel or any POS system you might

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,200
see an actually cherry branded keyboard which is very cool when we were in Las

20
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:15,280
Vegas for CES their POS systems had Cherry keyboards that had built-in

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,159
credit card readers and I geeked out a little bit by seeing that because I knew

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,840
that the teller behind the desk probably didn't realize what they actually had their hands on so just if you were

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,680
interested in what Cherry was and what they did they make keyboards they also

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,920
make some mice and they're just pretty awesome I know a lot of you were

25
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:33,720
probably expecting this video and I know I can't show off too many consumer

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,399
products but I wanted to show you who's behind your keyboard and who Cherry
