Yeah you might get clears or you might the 'other' ones that are useless.... I lost way too much money buying these things thinking I was getting clears.

Chyros should have one of these. Well, he probably does, but I thought it was important to say that.

There's actually a few of these on eBay at various prices... Are they any good?

I don't have one of these, but I do have a Chyron; the gargantuan 4044 I reviewed recently.

This one probably has Key Tronic foam and foil. Later Chyron boards came with Cherry MX Clear, usually.

What we really want to know is:
  • Is Chyron pronounced similarly to Chyros, and vice versa? (I realize you don't actually capitalize your nick but I presume that doesn't affect its pronunciation.)
  • How did you learn to speak English without a trace of a Dutch accent?
  • Has that little Dutch boy taken his finger out of the dyke yet? I'm sure she'd appreciate that, eventually.
  • Why does GH's "list" tag also indent lists, in addition to adding bullets to them? That's redundant and unnecessary. (Saying "redundant and unnecessary" is redundant, too; it seemed appropriate.)
OK, I'll hang up now and take my answers off the air.

I'll be doing a Q&A in not too long, maybe some material for that? :p

I just watched your review of the Chyron keyboard.  I love the Obama button on your keyboard.
