Cherry made some JIS-layout keyboards, though I suspect they're quite scarce outside Japan. They're the G80-3600LYCJA (probably rare - our wiki says 3600s were looted for their early Reds) and the G80-11802LPAJA . (NB, both these models also came in American ANSI layouts - look for the JA on the end ...

I have a relatively recent list of Cherry keyboards, which I downloaded in January 2016 when silent switches were still very new. (I think the list may have been produced by Cherry, because I've seen it on several different sites.) G80-11900LTMxx seems to have been supplied with a pair of adapters ...

Cyberovca's Tipro T141A, which revealed a previously-unknown period of Tipro's history and an undiscovered switch: keyboards-f2/tipro-t141a-early-tipro-bo ... 15484.html

Great! We need more wiki editors.

Just noticed the Schneider's got the original-type MYs. Which might actually be reasonable to type on...

Mm, that's nice for $3.50, and it's interesting to see another Schneider keyboard. And it's a 3000 variation I haven't seen before, too. Do you want to add it to the wiki's list of variations , or shall I? :)

The Videoton looks like rubberdome to me - the smaller keys are hard to achieve with ...

Also for what it's worth: someone on Reddit found it was possible to press Outemu blues and hear the click without actuating the switch - thread here . Possibly there is/was some quality issue with Outemus - or a slight difference in design compared with other MX. Out of interest, rich1051414, are ...

The thought occurs: if DT is a recognised authority for prices, one way to get Ebay prices down is to sell things cheaply on the marketplace ...

This is what I expect a "mouseboard" to look like:

Oh look, a proto-11800 ...

and what was the behemothic one with all the keys in the normal places and a trackball?

Now this is an interesting parallel I didn't know ...

Yours for the low low price of... 500 euros.

Not bad for a trash find! https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyb ... oard_with/

I must have missed this when it came up on Reddit last month. It's a original-style Cherry Mouseboard with the Mousepad, like the 3500. But the model number is G80-3600 . I assumed a typo on the part of the uploader - but it is 3600, and there's even a FCC application under that number.

do you have any examples of linux keyboards? I've never heard of such a thing, unless you mean ones which have penguins instead of flags on mod4/super/winkey?

I found Cherry's Korean site by accident today ( http://cherryko.co.kr/ ), and discovered they have two KO-layout keyboards listed. They're both branded MX-Board. I speak no Korean at all, so if anyone can add more detail to what I've gleaned please feel free to do so! :)
(Warning: for some reason ...

So, is "MX Board 1.0" (without the hyphen) a separate sequence from G80-1000 (which we assume to be MX-Board 1.0¹) and G80-3800/3850 (MX-Board 2.0 and 3.0)?
I think of the G80-3494 and 3600 as the MX-Board 1.0 (and perhaps 1.1!). IIRC they were only badged MX-Board, but I presume it works like ...

Mitsumi miniature is the switch that everyone thinks just "can't be that bad". It is that bad.
I always wonder if they'd be better with smaller caps like the ones on that Devlin post-office board - really it isn't all that surprising they bind considering how narrow the switch body is compared ...

That's a gorgeous spacebar - and I'm curious how awful that layout can really be. Does any modern custom set have a 9u spacebar??

Hmm, isn't that the one that had too much frontage for racing and had to be supplemented by a sportier model? (You can supply your own punchline. )
It transpires that car is a Playboy prize. It took me a few looks to realise it is in fact pink. Unusually subtle for Playboy!

If I had the money and space I'd collect anything old and weird, including weird old keyboards. As it is I have a few of several different things (phones, cameras, keyboards, old computers), assortments of things like car magazines that are more conglomerations than collections, and large numbers of ...

Hm, I just realised why I like numpads so much... a PET 4016 was probably the first keyboard of any sort I used. (Unless we're including the very mechanical keyboards for Solresol...)

Well, the first mechanical keyboard I bought was a Tipro MID from kbdfr. I also bought some weird caps with it, and I am now trying to get the hang of typing without looking so I can use them!

Before that I got a Cherry G84-4400 for free, which is my work board. Before I got into mechs I bought a ...

Ah! Like English people's difficulties with the Scottish/German ch. (I sometimes think it must puzzle Germans that the English don't have that sound. Maybe we should invent a separate symbol for it...) Thanks for the translation - they're always better from a human! :)

While investigating the Cherry Dialekt-Tastatur (aka G83-6919) I came across the following bit of text written in what's presumably Frankish dialect. I can get the gist of it with Google's help (FY layout is a revision of an earlier one, probably ZY, in response to suggestions from users), but I'm ...

The only time I've used it was on an Acorn Archimedes, at school. Ctrl next to A didn't suit inexact typists, particularly since typing replaced the selected text... I was unusually popular when I found out where Undo was. :cool:
I'm not convinced it'd help me much, since I don't keep my hands on ...

Just the model number of this 'Cherry' board offers immediate ways (ML switches and PBT dyesub caps) to verify if the keyboard itself is real or fake, you know "keebs don't lie".

Yes - that's one reason I like Cherry so much, one can "read" the article numbers and find out what a keyboard ought ...

Well, that J keyboard is just a bog standard rubber dome. I had a very similar one.

Do you know what switches each of those J keyboards have?
Well, the J82 are rubber-dome as we know, though I don't know how J82 domes relate to G82. I think the J86 has rubber domes under its metal caps. But I don ...

I don't know that they ever had a Chinese branch,
Well, what I mean really is wherever they make the MX-Boards - I had the impression the original ones were a Chinese initiative. Though that may be me misinterpreting as usual. ;)

only that they subcontracted out at least one model to Chicony ...

(not just the two I'm alleged to have looked at)
Ah, I should have realised you'd do some research! :oops: I didn't want to give the impression you'd seen all the photos if there was something in one of the others that made MLs impossible. :)

I'm pretty sure this is joke, note the winky smiley and the fact he acknowledges the pad printed marks!

Yes, I did wonder about using brownfont... Considering people are still finding it difficult to dyesub white-on-black now, it seemed unlikely that Cherry had solved it in 2005 - or that if ...

This is a circa-50% folding keyboard with USB connection, for PDAs with USB host according to the review I found. It seems to be Russian-layout only; black caps with white Roman (English) legends, Cyrillic legends in red and functions in blue.
