The original updated: Classic keys, but with state-of-the-art electronics and in a space-saving housing.
The CHERRY G80-3000N RGB TKL is a modern, wired keyboard without a number pad for more desk space. As connoisseurs know, the first version of the G80-3000 appeared back in the 1980s and is still produced today. The new, small keyboard builds on this legend: with the classic, ergonomic keycaps and original typing feel, why change what is already perfect? Completely new features, on the other hand, are the contemporary and slimmer housing, the illumination with over 16 million colours and the state-of-the-art electronics.
Classic design – reduced to the essentials
The most striking difference from the original is the slim, contemporary and space-saving housing of this Ten-Key-Less keyboard. The elimination of the numeric keypad brings several advantages. By moving your mouse closer to the keyboard, you adopt a more ergonomic posture which is easier on your shoulders and neck. Plus, the compact keyboard is easy to transport and saves space on any table. Keyboard lovers, however, will immediately recognise a kinship to the original variant: the lines and design language are a nod to the keyboard of the 80s. You won’t find any superfluous bells and whistles in this reinterpretation either. So you stay focused on the essentials – whether you are working or gaming.
Legend with the latest electronics
High-speed electronics and impressive RGB lighting catapult the descendant of the classic into the 21st century. Over 16 million colours offer countless lighting options. There are no limits to your imagination: from animated, multi-coloured effects to discreet, single-colour lighting or customisable single-key illumination. Numerous lighting functions and colours can be selected directly from the keyboard – without the use of additional software. But if you want more, CHERRY Utility is a powerful software for further customisation. Other practical features of the mechanical keyboard: anti-ghosting, Full-N-Key rollover and WIN key lock.
CHERRY MX Gold Crosspoint precision switches (made in Germany)
The famous CHERRY MX switches are the heart of this compact keyboard. With a lifespan of at least 50 million actuations per key, you don’t have to worry about the premature demise of your keyboard. Durability is guaranteed – as is the case with the abrasion-resistant, laser-coated key buttons. The high manufacturing accuracy ensures absolute precision and an inimitable typing feel. The selected MX SILENT RED switches used are quiet enough to use this mini keyboard in the office without any problems.
Honoured with the Red Dot Design Award
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the largest design competitions in the world. The CHERRY G80-3000N RGB TKL won the Red Dot Design Award 2022 in the Product Design category. Only those products that convinced the experts with their outstanding design quality were awarded prizes. “In this competition year, I was particularly struck by the pronounced creativity that the award-winning products testify to. The fact that there are still designs that surprise in form and functionality is really impressive and commendable”, says Professor Dr. Peter Zec, initiator and CEO of Red Dot, about this year’s competition.
A true multi-talent
It’s not just gamers who get their money’s worth with this mechanical keyboard without numpad. Whether you’re a frequent typist, programmer, creator, in the office or in the industrial sector – the G80-3000N RGB TKL is the keyboard for everything and everyone!
The especially small keyboard without NUM block is durable, switch-safe and reliable due to the extensively proven MX switches. If you are looking for a no-frills, compact all-rounder with impeccable quality, then the G80-3000N RGB TKL is the keyboard for you. In other words, the original, only more compact.
