We only offer the version with MX Red Silent switches here in North America. The part numbers for the Brown switch are listed below. G80-3874HXAEU-0 White keyboard G80-3874LXAEU-2 Black keyboard **Q: Are these hot swappable switches?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. I am sorry to say the answer is no, the MX switches are soldered onto the PCB. **Q: Can you use the keyboard without installing the driver? Working on company laptop where I can’t install software.** A: Yes u still have some control of the keyboard leds. **Q: does this keyboard work with macOS?** A: *NOT A MAC USER, BUT LINUX* I was able to use the keyboard just fine with Linux but the setup utility is what they're talking about when it comes to the operating system. Use a virtual machine or windows partition (boot camp in mac's case) and you can change the color. You also won't be able to use the applications built in functions like macros and things, so you'd have to find alternatives. Again, I'm not a mac user, but I'm a Linux user so it's kind of up my alley.. so if someone else can verify for sure for MAC, that would be amazing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most luxurious keyboard I've ever owned! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 20, 2023* I broke down and bought this keyboard because three low-end models in a row had been pieces of crap, and this model was rated #1 on a "best of 2023" list for silent keyboards. So far, I love it, but it's taking some getting used to. All keyboards are slightly different, but the font on the letter keys is a sort of "NASA" space style font which is a little harder to read than your standard sans-serif keyboard letters. Even more different are the numbers and symbols on the number keys being reversed, so the symbols on each (! on the 1 key, @ on the 2 key, etc) are below the numbers rather than above.There are indicator lights for caps lock, scroll lock and number lock, but talk about subtle--I just found them!But I love the feel, I love the solid construction, I love how quiet the keys are, and I can type really fast on it. It's heavy and it doesn't slip or move while you work. I'm not using it for gaming, but I'm a writer and publisher, so I really need a good keyboard.The keyboard not only glows in rainbow colors, the colors continuously cycle in a slow pulse, which is definitely funky. When I get stuck on writing something I can take a break and watch the keyboard change colors while I think. :-)It works fine with my older Lenovo desktop, I just plugged it into an USB expander and zoom, it was good to go. The delivery was blindingly fast, it arrived the next day. The packaging...not so great. The keyboard had just been tossed into quite a large box with a couple of packing pillows. It arrived just fine (it didn't spend very long in transit!) but the manufacturers might want to know that Amazon is being a bit casual with their product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth and quiet typing - great customization *by on Reviewed in the United States July 10, 2026* I was able change the keys individually to make it festive for The 4th of July. It’s so quiet for my extremely quiet office. My last keyboard was so loud and embarrassing. It feels like the highest quality keyboard I’ve ever used. Well worth it the extra money. You get what you pay for. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cherry MX 3.0 S: Robust, Solid, Stable…Quiet, But Not Quite “Silent” *by on Reviewed in the United States January 14, 2025* My taste in keyboard feel runs toward mechanical key switches with a distinct tactile bump-through and an audible click, as with the Cherry MX Greens and Blues – but that click is for home, not for the office, where a good neighbor doesn’t use a clicky keyboard. Good office neighbors choose quiet key switches.So I used to use the rubber-dome-type keyboards, the best of which, in my experience, was the Logitech K740, quiet and with adequate tactile feel. But rubber-dome keys wear out (I’ve had three of those boards), and the K740 is now a collector’s item.Hence, I looked around for a mechanical keyboard using the Cherry MX Silent Red switches. In the good old days, I would have ordered a custom board from WASD Keyboards, but those folks, sadly, appear to be out of business.There are good-quality boards from many brands using other Cherry switches, but darned if I could find any others with the Silent Reds – the regular Reds, yes, but the Silent Reds are rare. That’s why I bought this board, one of Cherry’s own, and using the Silent Reds. (It’s available with other Cherry switches, too.)About these switches: I am informed that “linear” switches – no tactile bump, just a smooth swish to the bottom of travel – are preferred by many gamers. That’s not what I am, and as above, I like a tactile bump on the way down. But one learns by trying, so I’m getting used to the linear feel of these keys.How is the board otherwise? It’s metal-bodied, heavy, solid, and stays put. If one is used to relatively flat rubber-dome keyboards or laptop keys, one might want to add a wrist rest to use with this “taller” board, and if so, that’s easy. The board comes with optional screw-in metal feet to raise the rear edge slightly, if desired.But then there’s the blaring, candy-colored rainbow backlighting in the product description’s photos. In action, this actually moves, and it’s the out-of-the-box default. If you’re a kid trying to impress other kids, okay, that’ll do it. If you’re an adult and trying to concentrate on work, you’ll want to turn this into something else. Fortunately, the documentation explains that with a simple key combo you can cycle through many variants of colors and moving patterns, two of which, thankfully, are “off” and “just constant white backlighting, please.” I’ve included a couple photos of the keyboard with the latter turned on, and that’s how I run it at work. Reminds me of my WASD Code Mechanical board at home.(In the first photo, taken from directly above, some red is “leaking” around some of the keys. This seems odd, but it isn’t a factor when working with the keyboard from one’s normal viewing angle, as seen in the second photo.)Finally, are the Cherry Silent Red key switches actually silent? Well, no. When a key hits bottom there’s a subtle thump, and the keys have the usual mechanical freeplay. Office neighbors close by will know when you’re in action, albeit only if they are themselves bored. Suffice it to say that these Silent Reds are more quiet than other mechanical keys, even regular Reds or the stiffer Blacks, and also more quiet than the tactile-bump non-clickers such as the MX Browns.I should add that one can download some optional Cherry software that makes a wide range of customization possible. But that isn’t necessary for simply changing the color scheme, and I haven’t any use for customization, because I use several other machines and keyboards and so must be satisfied with the standard layout and function.So to sum up, this is a robust and solid board with mechanical key switches that, unlike rubber-dome types, will never wear out. The key feel is consistent across the board, every press the same. The key action is smooth and…almost Silent. ## Frequently Bought Together - CHERRY MX Board 3.0 S Wired Mechanical Keyboard Aluminum Housing MX Red Silent Switches for Gaming and Office - Cherry MP 2000 Premium Mousepad XXL.
