Title: Keyboard with MX Super Blacks
Post by: NDA on Mon, 28 January 2013, 22:47:00

Does any such keyboard exist. The googles doesn't appear to find any keyboard that does, so I am guessing this is a user mod type thing and if so where can the springs be had?

A handful of Cherry keyboards, and only on 1-2 keys. They're out of production and I don't know why you'd want 150 cN actuation...  :eek:

1987 Wyse PC Enhanced Terminal as shipped with PC286 is most likely the only reliable example of "Super Blacks." But inconsistent. Mine sports MX Blacks of about.. I'd say 60-70cN ballpark. They are significantly heavier than MX Blues of any vintage, and butter smooth. Much smoother and heavier than modern MX Blacks.
