Genuinely cool! Cherry MX keyboard phone for the deaf

This is a truly awesome keyboard! Ivan Ivanovich and all Cherry MX fiends, show yourselves and buy it now! (Admittedly I see no reason for the deaf to use such a phone anymore in this modern world of SMS and Twitter...)

Worth it for the number row! I have a "simply labelled" tenkey, but they are all sculpted profile. This numberrow sholud be all the same profile. Less common indeed!

Who wants to direct-wire it for a miniature layout?

That's pretty cool. Too bad I already have a TTD that I never use. \

Tempting though.

Quite a few TTD devices have similar caps, could be cheaper than trying to get a hold of G80-8200!

I've bought several of similar minicom IV model, they have a few less keys but sometimes have superblack on the space. I think this is too expensive for harvesting. I usually find those minicoms for more like $15 or less. Space is 8units.

Oooh that one has another unique key 'Shift|Select' would make a neat one for a Pure style right Fn layer key.

actually, Ivan, I think using relegendables is the way to go. they're more versatile that way. as a guy who labels (and changes his labels) all the time, it's so much easier than looking for a keycap with precisely the legend you want.
