I would guess that these have mx black switches.

I'm willing to bet those don't use Cherry switches at all. Tipro has made a lot of use out of OMRON and those look like OMRON switches:

These are MX black as per the spec sheet.

Wow, we should try to GB these! 15 tipro matrix boards. Any idea what shipping one to the US would cost about?

I notice only 8 have cables: PS2

Thanks for the datasheet, Parak. I love datasheets.

As far as I know they use a ps/2 to ps/2 cable which can be obtained for tu dolla.

That's not the same model. That is a modern model that Tipro sells now.

Ok searched the actual part no. "16625"

Even though it is an older version of the model it appears to still be Cherry MX type switches.

I was wrong, sorry, carry on!

Thanks for finding the truth being skeptical far is better then starting a group buy only to find out that these are not cherry.

I for one would be very interested in buying one if we could find a buyer in the United Kingdom or continental Europe.

inaneframe · « **Reply #8 on:** Sat, 17 December 2011, 21:56:57 »

Plenty of Europeans and Americans here that I'm sure would purvey switches for you otherwise.

Perhaps you could make a post in classifieds "WTB: Cherry MX Blacks."

Personally I already have a black board that I am in the process of swapping out keys from. Therefore I am in it more for the cost and the ability to program the whole board as well the ability to swap mx switches if you are willing to put a little bit of work into it. Basically this would be more a of fun keyboard to mess around with and not care if I mess anything up vs my other keyboards. Also if it doesn't work out I wouldn't care all that much as I already have enough on my plate to keep me busy for awhile.

Damn UK, always getting the nice POS boards.

These are Cherry MX blacks, if you want one or two don't bid on it, head over to deskthority and buy it from the guy who wins the auction (it's a group buy thingy).

I'm pretty sure fossala has an account here, too.

Still, I think the 20euro or whatever people want them for on DT is too much for me, especially not counting shipping to the US. I'll see how this develops.

Yeah I'm here, I want to keep it to one thread over there though.
And I doubt they will end up at €20 each.

Heh, thanks. I'll just have to keep the DT topic up and refresh it periodically.
