Datacomp keyboards

The PC and MAC keyboards have click tactile ALPS switches:

The MAC3 looks very similar to the JAKi JD002. I'm not sure if Datacomp are the OEM though.

Some of the PDA models have short travel Cherry switches. I'm not sure if these are MLs. They could be  M81 or M84 series, two kinds I've not seen before.

That DFK65U has Cherry ML switches - I talked to Karl about it a while back, and he said it wasn't likely they could get one, but maybe. I bought something else and someone from DSI called me back and said they "may have found 2." I would've bought them both, but I was faded so I couldn't.

Just thought you guys might like to know.

I think the board is cool as hell and some one here should buy one to review. I, again, am faded and can't afford what ever it costs.

Thanks for the info. :) With ML switches it's gone up in my estimation. I thought it was quite cute but it looks alot like the cheap compact keyboards I see on Ebay. I'm not sure if I will get one (if I could) because I like having Fn keys.
