Overview

Cherry AG is a German input device manufacturer that originated as American manufacturer Cherry Electrical Products Corp in 1953. In its various guises, Cherry has been manufacturing computer keyboards since as far back as 1971 (the oldest confirmed product literature). Cherry may not be the oldest extant keyboard manufacturer in the world, but there will be few if any contenders to that claim. Cherry’s DIN-compliant MX series has been in continuous production since 1983 (the same age as Topre’s electrostatic capacitive switches), and has evolved to meet the changing demands of the market. Cherry continue to innovate in the keyboard market, bringing out new mechanical switch types to broaden their product range to suit different markets.
