CONCLUSION

     The Cherry MX 3.02S Wireless RGB may not be among the latest models released by Cherry but it’s a solid keyboard that looks great and should last for a very long time. Yes, the side plastic pieces may not tie with the rest of the aluminum housing and the somewhat short feet may require getting used to but other than that this is clearly a mechanical keyboard designed for all segments of the market. Having to use two software suites in order to use all aspects of the Cherry MX 3.0S Wireless RGB is probably the sole thing I didn’t like about it (Cherry should join both into one). As for battery life you can expect almost a full day of use with the RGB lights at full brightness whereas regarding signal strength the 2.4GHz RF dongle allowed for use even from 8 meters away with a wooden wall in between.

    With less than a week left until Christmas the Cherry MX 3.0S Wireless RGB Gaming Keyboard retails for USD137.69 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 135.33Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Overall, the Cherry MX 3.0S Wireless RGB Gaming Keyboard may not be the most impressive gaming keyboard out there but it’s without doubt among the most durable ones and since it also looks great the Golden Award is in order.
