Looking for compact cherry board? This might work for you

No guarantee it's mechanical or even AT compatible.  But it looks good to me, could be PCB mounted cherry blacks (is my guess).  You gotta mod it a little of course.

I missed the last time this was on sale, last one sold for about $50.

BTW: a bunch of deck 82's on sale here:

Deck 82 = cherry blacks.  Not easily switchable with other color switches cause you gotta desloder 4 points per switch (2 for the LED 2 for the switch)  A deck 82 with cherry blues would be somewhat of a holy grail for me.  I think another geekhacker (sandy?) made a deck 82 with cherry blues before..

Looking at the back of the PCB on that TG3, I'd say it's got plate mounted MX :)

The tenkeyless DECK boards are a supreme disappointment.  It's almost like they didn't bother researching the market and were hoping to ride on the reputation of the full-sized boards alone.

They're not NKRO like the other DECK boards are and the tilde/backtick is in the wrong place for we programmers.
I was mistaken about the mechanicalness.  I thought they weren't.

My TG3-BL82 (Deck 82) plays L4D very well. Even with 2KRO I don't miss my G80-2000 nkro ever.

I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

I go crazy when I see grammar and spelling errors; however, iMav does't believe in  Sanity Clause.

If anyone thinking for getting this OP item for cheap then get casing from DECK, look at it a little more closely !
Often outspoken, please forgive any cause for offense.
