[eBay] Fentek "Left-handed" Cherry Blue USB keyboard
« on: Tue, 11 January 2011, 15:52:11 »
I found this when browsing eBay.

According to a post, this model should have clicky Cherry MX Blue switches.

$49.99 at Buy It Now. Hey, it's a left-handed keyboard with Cherry Blue switches. I think that is pretty good, but I dunno about shipping to wherever you are.

Futaba switches as far as I know. Made by Seijin Korea.

Quite nice, very tactile. Heavier than MX Browns, but lighter than say MX Black.

Too bad it has the BIGass enter key. Hate that thing.

Chances are they made more than one version, who knows. The one I've seen pics of (that I can't find anymore right now) used Futaba switches. I think it was Hamblet that posted them. Chances of him returning to supply the answer are more than unlikely.

Found the info I was looking for again.

It should be Cherry with a 60% chance.

Seems it goes like this:

White version: Futaba
Black version: without extra keys - Cherry MX
with extra keys (above numpad) - Futaba
