Title: Screw your little logitec led screen.
Post by: Infinite north on Sat, 03 July 2010, 12:20:48

While it looks like it will be a battle to get it fully functioning this stock exchange keyboard from wey could be pretty sweet if you have the ability. I asked them to remove a keycap, it has cherry clears and diodes. the keycaps look double shot to me also, notice the color variation between the windows and alt key. I am guessing that you would need some kind of video hub to hook it up in the first place.

Looking for the company online I didn't find too much. their website is bleak.http://www.weytec.com/ (http://www.weytec.com/)

EDIT: I just noticed that I typed led and not lcd. screw that one also.

Reminds me a lot of the Reuters (http://hi.baidu.com/gearedbyby/blog/item/c93745fb1c3428d4b48f31f7.html) keyboard, one of few boards I'd kill for, but that is made by Cherry themselves.

Hm... hmmm... nah, can't afford $400 with shipping and customs for a keyboard.

Funny looking keyboard, but I wouldn't pay that much for a keyboard that I don't even know I can use.

That is very interesting, but yeah, if I were to drop something insane like $300, I would have to know if it's interfaceable to PCs.

I wouldn't spend $300 for any keyboard but a piano.

Nah, a Harpsichord is better than a piano. Then you're money is going somewhere good.

I gotta pay something like $100-$150 every six months to keep our baby grand in tune.  It has something to do with the change from heating season to cooling season.  I dunno, it sounds fine to me, but whatever.

It also depends how much you play it, and, if you use the sustain pedal a lot.
I play the piano probably every week if I can for a few hours, and go crazy with sustain. We probably get tuning every 6 months or more.

I like the "Nothing" key.
