Blank Keyboard
« on: Mon, 30 April 2012, 12:08:08 »
Hi, I was looking around and I found this on amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004GHCPM4/ref=s9_simh_gw_p79_d0_g79_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=11DGM71GTN4SRN43F6SE&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128473&pf_rd_i=468294

Low priced version of the Das? I emailed them and asked and they said that there is a "peg" under the keycap and that it's black, so I think it's not a rubberdome. Has anyone tried it yet?

The email I got was:

"We can confirm it is mechanical, on removing a keycap, there is a plastic peg underneath which on pressing would press down the switch... "

"The peg of the enter key from the numeric keypad is Black matching the colour of the key itself and there is no word indented into the switch..."

Well, I asked if there were any words on the switch because I think cherry has them? The description does say a lesser model of the Das... hmmm...

The smaller F-row keys hint very strongly that it's a rubber dome.  It would be highly unusual to have a mixed-switch board from a no-name considering there is only one brand on the market with that 'feature': Corsair.
