through and I checked out the map and saw that there was a cherry Booth anyone
who knows me anyone who watches the live stream anyone who's on the Forum a ton
will know that I'm a huge fan of mechanical keyboards so just if anyone
was wondering if you're buying a usually if you're buying a mechanical keyboard
on a general shop today it will most likely be with cherry switches behind it
Cherry switch is a mechanical switch I brought my own keyboard today I didn't
want to take apart theirs this is kind of what a Cherry MX switch will look
like that this is currently a blue with an LED on it not all of them will look
like that I just had to show off my own keyboard sorry I chill out a little bit
um so yeah if you're wondering who's behind your keyboard if you are running
a general mechanical keyboard that has Cherry MX switches it's Cherry these are
them they make a ton of different keyboards you probably haven't heard of them because they make more business
level keyboards or more embedded systems keyboards but they're great keyboards
and they're running the same switches that are on your on your mechanical
keyboards sometimes if you go to say like a hotel or any POS system you might
see an actually cherry branded keyboard which is very cool when we were in Las
Vegas for CES their POS systems had Cherry keyboards that had built-in
credit card readers and I geeked out a little bit by seeing that because I knew
that the teller behind the desk probably didn't realize what they actually had their hands on so just if you were
interested in what Cherry was and what they did they make keyboards they also
make some mice and they're just pretty awesome I know a lot of you were
probably expecting this video and I know I can't show off too many consumer
products but I wanted to show you who's behind your keyboard and who Cherry
actually is thanks for watching and if you want to see all of our comex content
