Compact TKL keyboard for daily typing

The CHERRY KC 500 MX LP 2.0 TKL is a wired tenkeyless keyboard built around CHERRY MX LP 2.0 Ivory linear switches. Warm grey PBT keycaps use injection-printed legends for long-term legibility. White backlighting with red status LEDs on lock keys aids low-light use. It suits office workers and home users who want a slim mechanical feel without a numeric keypad.

Plug in and type; no software required

Connect the USB cable and the keyboard works immediately on any modern operating system. Low-profile switches reduce key travel, so users accustomed to taller keycaps may need a short adjustment period. The slim chassis leaves little room for cable routing underneath; ensure the cable exits toward a clear desk edge to avoid strain on the connector.

Verify desk space and switch preference

Measure the available width to confirm the compact footprint fits alongside your mouse. The keyboard uses linear Ivory switches without tactile feedback; if you prefer a click or tactile bump, this model will not match that feel. PBT keycaps are not compatible with standard Cherry MX stem keycap sets due to the low-profile design.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the MX2A IVORY switches are actuating correctly after connecting the keyboard?

The white backlight illuminates all keys and the red LEDs on Caps Lock, Num Lock, Windows and FN toggles show their active state, confirming the MX2A IVORY switches and controller are powered and responsive.

What comes in the box with the KC 500 MX LP 2.0 TKL and what must I provide separately?

The keyboard itself is supplied with its fixed wired cable; no additional cables, keycap puller or software media are included, so only a free USB port on the host computer is required.

Which version of the KC 500 MX LP 2.0 TKL should I choose for a low-profile mechanical feel with PBT keycaps?

The single listed variant G8A-25550HOAUS-29 already combines MX LP 2.0 switches, warm grey PBT keycaps, white backlighting with red toggle LEDs and a tenkeyless layout in one model.
