The best STREAM ever – in a compact version
without number pad.
For all lovers of quiet keyboards with the inimitable typing feel
of a STREAM KEYBOARD, there is now a smaller and space-
saving alternative: The STREAM KEYBOARD TKL. The two look
very similar but differ in one significant way: The corded TKL
version has the same main keypad as the popular STREAM
KEYBOARD, but it does not have the number pad and is,
therefore, smaller in size. For many applications, this is a
decisive advantage.
One of the similarities between the two corded keyboards is an
important product feature: CHERRY's own SX scissor technology.
It is at the heart of the STREAM family and, at the same time,
serves as the basic prerequisite for accurate and frequent typists
to be able to work productively. The result is a perfect pressure
point that ensures precise execution and super silent keystrokes.
The TKL version differs from its big brother in that the design has
been shortened by omitting the number pad. The STREAM
KEYBOARD TKL is perfect for those who hardly use the number
pad. This compact version saves desk-space, both in the office
and at home, making it easier to concentrate on the essentials. In
the industrial sector, this workhorse is ideal for 19-inch drawers
due to its smaller dimensions. The WetEx® protective film lends
itself to harsher working environments. It is specially tailored to
the dimensions of the keyboard and is available as an accessory.
Anyone who spends a lot of time at their desk every day knows
that an ergonomic posture is essential to prevent certain health
issues. Tension and pain in the back, hand, arm, and neck areas
can thus be avoided. It is, therefore, a huge plus point that the
reduced dimensions of this small keyboard are accompanied by
decisive ergonomic advantages. For right-handers, the mouse and
keyboard are closer together. This means that the user keeps
their arm closer to their side, which corresponds to an optimized
working position and helps to avoid incorrect posture. The
German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) confirms the theory
that TKL keyboards promote a more natural and ergonomic
posture.
The “Tested Safety” GS seal and the “Blue Angel” award promise
further health benefits. The GS seal takes into account all relevant
European directives and regulations that focus on protecting
people’s health. This includes, for example, that the key-legends
are clearly visible. This is an important prerequisite for alleviating
fatigue when working.
The “Blue Angel” environmental protection label provides further
guidance for responsible shopping. Anyone who buys products
with this seal can be sure that high demands regarding
environmental, health, and usage properties have been
considered during product development. Furthermore, the
STREAM KEYBOARD TKL does not contain any plastic packaging
material.
In addition to the product features already mentioned, the
CHERRY STREAM TKL also scores with many other interesting
features. One of these is the status LEDs for CAPS LOCK and
SCROLL LOCK. Since these are located directly within the
individual keys, time-consuming searches for activated status
LEDs are a thing of the past. Although this feature is usually only
found in higher price ranges, it is now standard for almost all
CHERRY products. The flat corded keyboard functions according
to the Plug & Play principle, meaning that it is ready for use
without any driver installation. The practical six additional keys
also prove useful in everyday life. You can use them to easily
control multimedia applications without having to press an
additional FN key. If you would like to add additional functions to
your keys, you will find what you are looking for with the CHERRY
KEYS software. It can be downloaded free of charge from
www.cherry.de.
Do you spend a lot of time at your PC and are looking for a space-
saving keyboard without a number pad? Do you also value high
quality standards and want to make a positive contribution to
your health? Then the STREAM KEYBOARD TKL is the right choice
for you.
