Title: Cherry keyboard with trackpoint on ebay
Post by: fohat.digs on Tue, 03 January 2012, 08:39:57: This seems like a good price on something that a lot of people here desire.

I am not particularly interested, but I am kind of surprised that it is on its second listing.

Post by: dorkvader on Tue, 03 January 2012, 10:38:02: Well, it IS a cherry G80-11900. I wouldn't use the touchpad, but it's a good deal nonetheless:

(starting bid $25 with $40 BIN. Toll the KVM)

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Tue, 03 January 2012, 15:33:06: I have a clears one, but I did it myself :) I think they are only made with blacks too, never seen any other switch stock. But pcb mount so a nice and easy mod to replace to blue, brown, clear, red, Frankensteins.
I like mine ok, layout could be worse. Trackpad sucks once past 1024x768 resolution in my opinion. Even though the datasheets claim 1000dpi, I think it's like 400.
They are on ebay for cheap pretty often, sometimes new for $25 or less.

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Tue, 03 January 2012, 16:17:16: They sure do (http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/keyboards/industrial/11900/index.htm). Could be a more recent change on newer models though.

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Tue, 03 January 2012, 21:45:16: I only paid $16 for mine, brand new with Italian doubleshots. Now that was cheap. You still got a good price, as they are $100+ retail new.
