Yes, I hope Cherry comes to this conclusion. Imagine a modern plate-mounted keyboard from Cherry that shipped with doubleshots!

Just more demand. There are a lot of new keyboards comming out.
I recommend to pre-order in my switch group buy, because the delivery dates are only valid if ordered now. In early 2013 you might have to wait even longer to get what you want!

Why should they? Looking at the G80-3800 it is clear that they don't have real good designers anymore.
We can be glad they still make MX switches. Since they trashed the doubleshot tools, there is no reason to buy a new Cherry keyboard. NIB ones are still available and there are a lot of other manufacturers offering keyboards.
