Title: Email from Cherry on Additions...
Post by: Engine on Sun, 13 March 2011, 14:24:46: Just in case someone would like to know this. It's a quote from an email I got from Cherry when I inquired on current available switches on state-side.

"Currently we only offer the G80-11900 series keyboard which uses our
black MX switch.

At the end of April we will begin offering the following keyboards.

G80-3000LSCEU-2 Black, USB, with blue MX switches
G80-1865LXNEU-2 Black, USB, with brown MX switches and 2 port USB hub

Kind Regards/Mit freundlichem Gruss,

Post by: Engine on Sun, 13 March 2011, 14:34:23: He might be mistaken. I don't know. I just know that he said he'd email me when they actually were available and also recommended going through CDW when that happens.

Post by: Engine on Sun, 13 March 2011, 15:06:34: Eh, maybe I'll skip it then. I doubt he'll get back to me anyhow on the last item. You know how things go.

Post by: Hak Foo on Wed, 16 March 2011, 23:09:59: I need an I with an Umlaut. How can I talk about naivete in Zaire appropriately without it?

It amazes me that you still see so many US-with-no-Euro-symbol layout boards new-- you'd think it's one less SKU to stock if they only make one ANSI version.

It would be like a representative from Volkswagen talking about the release of the Golf VII in the US, even though here in the states it might be referred to as the Golf or the Rabbit, depending on how VW of America decided to market it. Just a thought ;)

Post by: spolia optima on Wed, 16 March 2011, 23:22:18: 1865 in the US? This is good news.
And w/ CDW the price should be pretty low.
A nice PCB mounted Cherry-made 'board is the perfect complement to a higher-end Leopold or Filco.
