Post by: 003 on Fri, 25 July 2008, 22:27:34

Is there any place I can buy new blue cherry switches? Or maybe a cheap keyboard that has them?

Thanks. Do you know the particular part number I am looking for? Digikey can be quite overwhelming.

either ch196-nd or ch197-nd depending on how the keyswitches will mount to the keyboard.  196 if the switches mount to a face plate above the circuit board, or 197 if there's no face plate.
