CHERRY MX Board 3.0S Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The CHERRY MX Board 3.0S is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard with a robust aluminum housing and CHERRY MX RED linear switches. It features vibrant RGB backlighting with over 16 million colors and full N-key rollover for simultaneous key presses. The keyboard connects via a detachable USB-A to micro-USB cable and includes a WIN key lock for game mode.

Suited for gamers wanting linear switches

Buyers who prefer tactile or clicky switch feedback should look elsewhere. Users needing a compact or tenkeyless form factor will not find it here. Those requiring wireless connectivity or Bluetooth support are not served by this wired-only model. People wanting dedicated macro keys or a wrist rest included in the box should consider other options.

Simple plug-and-play via detachable USB-A cable

The micro-USB port on the keyboard can loosen over time with frequent cable removal. RGB customization requires installing CHERRY UTILITY software which some find unintuitive. The white keycaps may show oil or dirt more visibly than darker colors. Aluminum chassis adds weight making it less portable for LAN events.

Questions about this item

Does the CHERRY MX Board 3.0S need any extra driver or power adapter to work?

It connects through a detachable USB-A to micro-USB cable and draws all power from the host port; no separate driver or power adapter is required.

Can I keep using my older USB 2.0 ports with the keyboard's USB-A connector?

Yes, the USB-A plug is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 ports, so the keyboard functions normally on older controllers.

How do I confirm the per-key RGB lighting and N-key rollover are active after plugging it in?

Open the CHERRY UTILITY software to verify each key lights individually and to test that every simultaneous press registers without ghosting.
