Title: Keyboard with Japanese layout with Cherry blues
Post by: spremino on Tue, 10 November 2009, 04:00:08

Hello,

are there keyboards with Japanese layout like these (key labels don't matter, neither does being tenkeyless) and Cherry blues?

I only know about Filco FKBN91MC, but they don't sell it anymore.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure Filco still has Japanese layout keyboards. Maybe not that exact one, but I'm sure they do.

Yes, they do. But no Cherry blues anymore.

I wonder, sometimes, if different regions prefer different switches.  It seems like a lot of folks on this 'board (mostly US and Europe) like Cherry blues (and BS, so "clicky").  It also seems that many of the Asian enthusiasts (looking at KBMania and stores such as International Leopold and Diatec) prefer the quieter switches, Cherry browns and Topres.
