is nx.com hey guys we were walking

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:16.560
through and I checked out the map and saw that there was a cherry Booth anyone

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

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.640
will know that I'm a huge fan of mechanical keyboards so just if anyone

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.960
was wondering if you're buying a usually if you're buying a mechanical keyboard

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:32.040
on a general shop today it will most likely be with cherry switches behind it

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:35.160
Cherry switch is a mechanical switch I brought my own keyboard today I didn't

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.399
want to take apart theirs this is kind of what a Cherry MX switch will look

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

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

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.640
um so yeah if you're wondering who's behind your keyboard if you are running

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:52.320
a general mechanical keyboard that has Cherry MX switches it's Cherry these are

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

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:00.800
level keyboards or more embedded systems keyboards but they're great keyboards

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:04.400
and they're running the same switches that are on your on your mechanical

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.159
keyboards sometimes if you go to say like a hotel or any POS system you might

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.200
see an actually cherry branded keyboard which is very cool when we were in Las

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:15.280
Vegas for CES their POS systems had Cherry keyboards that had built-in

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.159
credit card readers and I geeked out a little bit by seeing that because I knew

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

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.680
interested in what Cherry was and what they did they make keyboards they also

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:29.920
make some mice and they're just pretty awesome I know a lot of you were

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.720
probably expecting this video and I know I can't show off too many consumer

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:37.399
products but I wanted to show you who's behind your keyboard and who Cherry

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.640
