Blue Cherry kb without numpad?
« on: Sat, 17 January 2009, 13:36:18 »
Hi, this is my first post here :)

Basically the question is, are there any good keyboards that use the blue cherry switches and don't have a numpad?

I had a das keyboard 3, which i really loved the feel of, but that "typo" problem which is described somewhere on here really affected me and annoyed me enough to send it back.

Anyway, that means i'm shopping for a new keyboard :), I am open to a different switch, i just really liked the blue cherries on the das.

I was looking at the ione scorpius m10 as an alternative, or abs m1 (black alps), but i would really prefer one without a numpad since it takes up space and i never use it anyway.

So just looking for some suggestions on a good numpad-less keyboard, blue cherries would be nice, but it doesn't have to be.

Thanks

Thanks guys, i'm not really into a mac layout, other than that it would be ok :\

The filco's look good, except after a google translation it looks like they are out of the one with blue cherries :\

Does anyone know how much it is to ship it from that site to the US?

Check out the wiki. There are links to Crescent-Shopping and J-goods that can purchase it for you.

I recently purchased a Filco tenkeyless with blue Cherry's and absolutely love it.  (from J-Goods)

If you like the blues, then don't hesistate to order one.
