CHERRY STREAM DESKTOP, Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Set, US-International Layout (QWERTY), 2.4 GHz RF Connection, Silent Keys and Quiet Mouse Clicks, Battery-Powered, Black

Product Information

Available from Keyboard Specialists Ltd (KBS), the STREAM DESKTOP is the logical next step in the evolution of the STREAM family: It combines all the features of the popular STREAM KEYBOARD with wireless 2.4 GHz freedom and a perfectly matched six-button mouse. The setup is surprisingly simple – so simple we honestly thought at first we were doing something wrong. With just a plug-and-play setup, the Cherry Stream Desktop keyboard and mouse combo is a boon for offices with multiple computers and multiple users, as well as casual home users who aren’t necessarily well-versed in technology. All you need to do is insert the batteries, plug the USB wireless receiver that connects both devices to your PC’s USB 2.0 port, switch both on, and you’re good to go. This is honestly incredibly refreshing. We spend a lot of time testing different peripherals loaded with features and a boatload of customizations, and reviewing one that’s simple and straightforward feels like a nice and relaxing vacation.

But that also shows just how responsive, fast, and accurate the Cherry Stream Desktop keyboard and mouse are. During our tests, we have not experienced any lags nor missed presses, even when we’re in the zone and typing very fast. There is no mention of features like N-key rollover or anti-ghosting, but they don’t seem necessary here with the keyboard performance. As far as the mouse, it has a DPI button that will let you cycle through 3 DPI settings: 1000, 1600, and 2400 – and they are more than enough for everyday tasks.
