Cherry RC80 and RC128
« on: Tue, 04 December 2012, 19:36:16 »
I was looking for a more modern replacement for my G80 1950 and I stumbled across these two keyboards:

http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/keyboards/POS/RC128/

These look amazing and I can't find any info on them beyond the Cherry product pages.

Anyone know what switch types they use? Or where the programming software can be found?

I can find them for sale for a steep price, but if they're perfect it might be worth it.

I became very comfortable with my 1950 (which has become very hard to find) and I would hate to use a non matrix non tactile cherry keyboard if it were to break.

Look like Tipro. Have a look around for those, they pop up used for good prices quite often. Like this lot is not too bad though shipping from Germany makes it a bit less attractive on price.

Tipro I already know is MX Black, I think I'd prefer to take a chance on one of these in hopes I'd get an MX Brown.

Though, I do have some Brown stems lying around... I guess I could do a transplant if they're PCB mounted (I assume they're PCB mounted, I've never seen a Cherry branded keyboard that wasn't).
