Why? What happened in Cherry land back in 2012?

Totally new logo:

The RGB switches have new shell moulds and those all use the new logo.

How old is that Filco keyboard, anyway?
I'm new to mkb so I'll just post the pics and let you guys draw your conclusions.

The case is August 2016. The controller IC should also be dated — that little PCB will come out and the ICs are on the other side, surface mounted.

Is '1623' the controller's date?

If that were a date, it would be 2016 week 23, which would be a good match, so I'd say yes.
