![]() That's endlessly helped by the dedicated arrow keys that continue to keep the 65% design above the 60. That's the norm for this size keyboard, and the Cherry MX-LP 2.1 manages to keep everything easily reachable in its second layer of functionality. That smaller 65% form factor means you are dropping several additional functions, as well as dedicated media controls. That means you can keep up to three devices connected, without having to re-pair every time. Hitting Fn and X will kick off pairing, with three channels to choose from (and assigned to the QWE keys). Rather than adding an extra Bluetooth pairing button or toggle here, though, the setup process is included in the second layer of main key functions. The Cherry MX-LP 2.1 can be used over the included 2.4GHz dongle, a USB-C cable, or Bluetooth. You're not stuck for connection options, though. You'll find far more personalization options from more established gaming brands like Razer or Corsair, but there's enough here to satisfy the basics. The whole software is lean, and could do with some polishing, but is quick and simple for surface level adjustments. This is also where you'll be able to set custom keybindings and create macros for certain keys as well. Of course, each key's lighting is programmable via Cherry's desktop software. It's vibrant but certainly not in your face and provides a subtle glow rather than an assault on the senses. ![]() LED fans will be pleased to learn that RGB lighting remains a constant in this gaming space - the LP 2.1 manages to pack a surprisingly fluid RGB system. That's a speedy set of clickers, especially considering the effortless low profile keycap design. The Cherry MX-LP 2.1 comes with the brand's Low Profile Speed switches under the hood, offering a 45g actuation force and super slick 1mm pre-travel distance. That meant I was feeling the fatigue a little after just a couple of hours of typing at a desk, even with those lighter low profile switches. ![]() Even with that extra height, this is still a particularly flat typing experience that doesn't offer the ergonomic support you'll find in the majority of gaming keyboards on the market. The rubber feet at the top of the keyboard actually pop out of their housing, and can be flipped to provide a slightly taller rear section. Around the back, though, you'll find an ingenious solution to adding extra elevation while keeping those dimensions down.
