Some Cherry Boards <$50 in the CDW Outlet
« on: Wed, 06 December 2017, 11:43:39 »
Ran across this one that's currently at only $33.99, but I have no idea what switch it is, and even the deskthority wiki says relatively little about it aside from being rubber dome, which doesn't make sense for a 25M operation switch:

Found a description on another site:
The Cherry G86-52400 industrial keyboard offers IP54 dust-proof and water-resistant rating and an overall package length of just 11.8". The G86-52400 is rated to 25 million operations, ensuring industrial users high reliability and reduced maintenance concerns. The small footprint of the G86-52400 makes it ideal for space-constrained applications in rack-mount servers, in-vehicle computing and medical diagnostic equipment. The keyboard offers USB 2.0 interface and comes with a 2-year warranty.

If ML switches are your thing, this board currently listed at 69.99 will probably drop further:

And if you like the cherry Black switches, this board currently at 69.99 will be a deal once it drops even more:

The G86 series is "high-end rubber domes".

Yeah, I found out about the g86 series after I posted.  :-[

Still, not a bad price for a sealed board, and I'm sure the price will come down even more next week.  :thumb:
