You should probably specify a website like 10fastfingers or typeracer for testing WPM just to make sure that one test isn't easier than another.

Thanks for thinking of me folks, but I will pass. I tried the MX 2.0 and didn't like it... and the 3.0 is not that much different. I still prefer the older ones by far. Nothing beats the real Cherry classic profile keycaps and those flat ones are a huge mistake.

I would love to see Cherry do some more limited editions... but more creative than the anniversary board. I think bringing back some of the older models for limited runs like the G80-077X with a little update to USB would be very awesome. Or do some colorful boards, like an all X color board with matching colorful POM keycaps.

If binge doesn't want to go first, I'd like to go first

Also will you let us open up the thing for pics? I'll be extra careful

Sure. I'm not that well known but as with many here, spend a lot of my time at a computer, so I would have opinions. And I already know my WPM will be in the neighborhood of 60 ... has been across multiple keyboards so far.

Southern corner of Washington state, along the I-5 corridor; it says as much in my profile. I'll PM you shortly should I be accepted into the secret club of factory sponsored reviewers.

Your #4 on the list so it wont be long, your accepted.

I don't mind either of these sites and there is always www.typingtest.com/ I trust that everyone will play fair and the community is pretty solid as far as I can see. Please let me know what you all tink of which sight to use.

Good Day Geek Hack Community.
I am a product marketing manager for CHERRY’s keyboard and mice division. I wanted to introduce myself and make an offer to the Geek Hack community. What I would like to propose would be to send one of our New MX 3.0 (Red Keys) boards to one of your skilled members, let them evaluate the board, then pass it along to the next member of the group Etc. to evaluate as you would like.
I would expect nothing less than your honest thoughts posted on this board and for you to pass along the keyboard to the next member of your group for evaluation in the US ONLY. You can send me the individual scans of the freight receipts for the first 10 transfers and I will reimburse you for the first 10 receipts I get. I would propose a 2 month timeline to give as many of you as possible a chance to evaluate the MX 3.0 keyboard.
I would consider whoever posted the fastest WPM on the unit on the web site would get to keep the board or whatever thoughts you would have would be fine for me.
The CHERRY USA Marketing team is excited to have some of the most knowledgeable keyboard enthusiast’s in the world give our company feedback on our new products and future enhancements.
Please PM me or reply with any questions you have and if you agree to the proposal please advise me with an address and recipient’s name and I will ship the MX 3.0 keyboard to them.
If there is already an established process for submitting an item for your review, please advise.
Thank You for your time!
Russm

Um sorry, you guys have already started out with a big mistake.

ISO layout?

Why are you guys so conservative that everything has to be European layout?

Thank you so much for you feedback, I will take all your good ideas to the R& D team especially the remake of the G80-077X board. I have been looking for different key caps just to sell as a third party accessories so please recommend vendor.
Thank you again for responding, people on this forum think very highly of you and it is a pleasure to chat with you!

Since I already mentioned opening it up first and am later on in the run, I'll go ahead and open it up.

I am sorry I can't speak for the designers in Germany.

Instead of doing the fastest WPM thing, why don't you make it so that whoever provides the most constructive and substantive feedback (chosen by you or your marketing team) gets to keep the keyboard.

That would be a good thing for me but I don't really like to judge peoples thoughts and decide winners and loser, I truly want honest opinions and don't want the opportunity to win something to influence what anyone would say. I like contest like the first one to the finish line wins (Old Drag racer) or if you knock a guy down and he doesn't get up your the winner (martial artist), great thought though!

I am an angry gamer, as well as oft rambunctiously drunken writer and I'm sure I could put the board through it's paces. Cheeto print free upon return however, is not a guarantee.
