Talk:Cherry AG

What a swell company

I regret there aren't any discussions here, as Cherry is such a swell company that I'd enjoy discussing them. As we speak, I'm typing on a keyboard equipped with genuine Cherry MX Red switches—and let me tell you, if you haven't tried one of these babies, you haven't typed. Thank you.

Terminology

Might be nice to link the various terms used to their respective pages, such as "clicky", "linear", "tactile", etc. For those who use the products it may be obvious, but for everyone else it's a little ambiguous. 119.18.0.66 (talk) 06:24, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

• • I agree. Bellagio99 (talk) 17:56, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    • "Clicky" is self-explanatory, but the other two certainly aren't. I'll delve into this... kencf0618 (talk) 11:39, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Recent Switch Additions

I have added entries for the brand-new Silent switches, but I fear that the comparison table is now a little unclear since the Red and Silent appear to be the same switch. Perhaps adding a column for sound dampening or a section for that particular switch would be in order?

Article title change

At present Cherry (keyboards) is both misleading and inaccurate. While Cherry definitely does make computer keyboards, this is not their primary business nor the only thing these folks make. They are widely known both for keyboard switches AND other micro switches used through industrial control and related industries. I think a much better title would be Cherry (corporation) or Cherry (company). Also, we really should not name the article something like Cherry Corporation as that is not their real legal name - it is just Cherry. Before making any changes, I wanted to open this up for discussion to solicit any other views and\or perspectives. Thanks. Aleding (talk) 01:23, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Section could really use more history and an explanation of how each type of switch is typically used and what qualities reviewers have attributed to them.  czar 20:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

What's up with the quotes?

In the section Cherry MX switches in consumer keyboards, there's a few things in quotation marks. I don't think I've seen this anywhere else on Wikipedia. There should be a better way to phrase it, without the need for "scare quotes." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.249.160.85 (talk) 14:50, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

am i colorblind?

If Blue is clicky and Red is linear, why are the sound samples the other way round? —Tamfang (talk) 04:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

"TKL" is unexplained

In subsection Cherry MX, the mechanical keyboard jargon "TKL" is not explained.
