Cherry RS 6700?
« on: Mon, 03 August 2009, 16:56:10 »
So I found a deal on e-bay that may or may not have been one to jump on...but I did anyhow. A pair of Cherry RS 6700 Smartcard boards for $11.99 shipped.


The listing showed a tiny picture, and no more info was listed. They look like the board listed here:
http://www.cherry.de/english/products/smart_card_keyboards_SmartBoard_G83-6744.htm

But I was wondering if anyone else had any info on these at all. The listing was for the 6700...no mention of 6744. Were there other models in the 6700 series with different switches? What is the story on the NTKs? Thanks for any info!

G83s are standard rubber dome boards. Though to get a smartcard reader, especially one you could theoretically mod onto another keyboard, $12 is not bad at all.
