Title: Does a Tenkeyless Cherry Clear board exist?
Post by: tjweir on Wed, 16 February 2011, 19:31:38
A combination of googling and hunting around board manufacturers sites leads me to conclude they do *not* exist.

Am I correct?

At the moment, no. The Korean forum OTD.kr is working on a custom keyboard that should come out this year that is tenkeyless and will be available with clears. However price will be around $300 and if in kit form (likely) you would have to solder and assemble it yourself.

Hoochie moochie.

The OTD gear always looks amazing, that's just a big number to get past.

Thanks for the info.

No problem. It will also be fully programmable, nkro, the whole shebang. White/gray vintage doubleshots on a black case. All high-end materials.

From what I've read about clears, I would also love one of these non-existent creatures.  We're even in the same geography

Let me know if you find one and want to place an order, eh?  :canada:

Are there any info pages or pictures on this $300 kit?

I don't know if OTD 365 kits are available outside of Korea.  
I have 3 Brown Tenkeyless, maybe I need to do a switch swap.

I think the GH board is a great idea.  I really hope it works out.  I'm willing to pick up a board or 2.

Should be available right after the Unicomp Mini is.


Oh, so the 12th of Never then?

I wish. No matter how desirable a tenkeyless with clears is, I'm not paying $300 for a bag full of loose parts.

If Deck had ever made a 82 with clears like they did the Legend I would have bought one.

But then Deck seems to have lost interest in the Gaming Keyboard market.  Sure sign it's dying.

Yeah, I can't handle having a numpad on the end as well. Way too far to reach for a mouse/trackball. Even then, I don't think I could stomach having a Deck with that ridiculous font on my desk.

Someone needs to find a suitable manufacturer and then put together a project on http://www.Kickstarter.com (http://www.Kickstarter.com).  I'll take one at a reduced price for the fantastic idea :)

The site is cool but there are quite a few nutty projects. I participated in the iPod nano watch band project. Picked up the lunatik.

Now I wonder how much interest there would be if I refitted my DSI Modular Mac with Clears and sold it.

(Not that I have any immediate intention to do that...)
