The Dolch.CR is a 65% board that was a collaboration between ALF Studio and Cary. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, but you can always visit the ALF Studio Discord channel or try to find it on /r/mechmarket if you're lucky.

Not to be confused with the Dolch PAC-65 "luggable" computer.
Dolch 486 and the Dolch PAC-line (PAC-60 through PAC-64) came with a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches (Innards similar to a Cherry G80-1800) and keycaps in two-tone  grey with white letters. The keycaps have been popular: there have been several replicas of them and several keycap sets inspired by them with individual colours changed.
The Dolch PAC-65 could also come with that keyboard, but it was the last. Some PAC-65 and all later Dolch computers came instead with low-profile keyboards.

The design of the case of this keyboard was inspired by the original Dolch 486 and PAC keyboard case. Those have a special striped pattern on the top  and carry a badge with the Dolch logo on the top and on the bottom.
