Title: Cherry keypad ?
Post by: British on Wed, 23 February 2011, 08:30:43

I'm looking for a keypad.
Ideally it would have MX browns, but I guess I can always try to swap some other MX to browns.
I would also prefer a long-sized 0 key.

From my searching I found the Kinesis AC210, that ripster reviewed (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:5619&&highlight=kinesis).
It's pretty much what I need, but all those damn US stores keep shipping within their borders.

Anybody knows a way to get them in Europe (couldn't find anything on eBay UK, for instance) ?
What would be a good pick, besides the Kinesis ?

Has a short 0 though.

G80-3700? They come with blacks unless special ordered, but with PCB mounted switches that's no big hurdle.

Goldtouch gtc-0077, comes with MX Brown switches, works as a USB hub too. It's not too expensive, and it should be pretty widely available, even in the UK.

Thanks for the answers !

Now allow me to nitpick :smile:
The Goldtouch and Filco have those 0/00 keys, so they're out for me :sad:
The G80-3700 seems OK, though it does cost a kidney, and I've only seen it in grey so far (black would be awesome).

Sooo, no Kinesis AC210 over Europe ? :Cry:

It's for a "regular" tenkeyless, so that shouldn't be an issue.

After getting confirmation that they would ship it to Europe, I bought a couple AC210 from DSI (http://dsi-keyboards.com/kinesislow-forcekeypadaccessoryusbblack.aspx) \o/
