Popular switch manufacturer Cherry merged with gaming brand Xtrfy late last year, and we’re just now seeing the first fruits of that deal. The Cherry MX 8.2 represents the first mechanical TKL gaming keyboard from the venture, offering the crisp clack of a Cherry MX Red set and the speed and design of a dedicated gaming keyboard brand. Launching alongside two other keyboards earlier this year, the MX 8.2 is priced in the center of the range. Its $149.99 cost also keeps it within the mid-range of today’s best gaming keyboards, but it packs a typing feel and build quality that could easily see it competing with high-end devices.
