Title: Chicony board with fake Cherries?
Post by: spolia optima on Fri, 01 January 2010, 13:30:12

Linkage (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120512158160&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3468wt_1169)

Though it looks a bit different than the model on Sandy's page (http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/chicony_kb5191.html)

and tinw4mail's review is less than flattering (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6975&&highlight=5191)

I still think it's an interesting keyboard.. despite the "cheap taiwanese garbage" stereotype that it seems to be associated with. I own a few Chicony keyboards, and they're not terrible... Just a bit on the cheap side. Anywho, I picked 2 of these up for $9 each, can't be a total waste of money. You don't see cherry clones everyday, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. :)

All the best,
Spolia Optima.

Nice, I saw that one earlier this morning.  Be sure to post an update when you get them.
