Damn. Wish I hadn't just spent £50 quid on the New Cherry. I'd love to have a 'board with a built in pointing device. If someone wants to buy it for me for Christmas, just PM me!

Indeed. Not sure what kind of key switches it has in it; I couldn't find anything on it.

Cheers Chloe. Not that I can buy either 'board at the moment though.

By the way, do you get called a freak by your partner as most of us fellas do for your appreciation of mechanical keyboards? I got a roasting off the missus when she heard me playing a recording I'd made of the new Cherry. I explained that I was comparing it with the Alps based 'board recording but that didn't make it alright in her eyes...

Well, she doesn't get it, but it's not the first gear obsession of mine she's witnessed so I think she understands, plus she says the sound of me typing is sexy. ;)

I can't talk to her about shoes or bags either. :lol:
