Keyboard with Japanese layout with Cherry blues
« on: Tue, 10 November 2009, 04:00:08 »
Hello,

are there keyboards with Japanese layout like these (key labels don't matter, neither does being tenkeyless) and Cherry blues?

I only know about Filco FKBN91MC, but they don't sell it anymore.

Thanks.

Yes, they do. But no Cherry blues anymore.

I wonder, sometimes, if different regions prefer different switches.  It seems like a lot of folks on this 'board (mostly US and Europe) like Cherry blues (and BS, so "clicky").  It also seems that many of the Asian enthusiasts (looking at KBMania and stores such as International Leopold and Diatec) prefer the quieter switches, Cherry browns and Topres.
