was searching the interwebs and stumbled unto this..

tell me what you think

It looks pretty interesting. I wonder if they would put the legends on the caps, too, even though it only lists blank ones. Looking at the space bar pic, it seems that they take into account both center-mount stems and off-center ones as well. It would be pretty sweet if they could make double-shot sets.

yeah it seems they're also made to order... still checking the site for more info..

itlnstln · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 26 March 2010, 14:21:04 »

Just get them, keep a couple of sets for yourself, sell the rest and be done with it. You can put me down for one set, especially if you sets for 104-key 'boards.

Otterclock · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 26 March 2010, 14:33:25 »

Looks like the same thin walled crap Cherry puts on their boards these days. Imho not worth it.

Now that does sound interesting. Anyone feeling adventurous enough and order some to find out if these Cherry switches are... made by Cherry?

Not much to double shoot without letters. :biggrin1:
But I see your point, and I share it. I'm into double shots not due to the lettering. They're just the only keys that normally use decent plastic and have thick walls. Double shot keys made on order are prohibitively expensive. Excellent blank keys could actually be cheaper than anything else.

kriminal · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 26 March 2010, 15:43:46 »

well i could live with some blank whites atleast. i am totally interested in buying the switches if they're selling those switches as is....

elbowglue · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 26 March 2010, 23:44:21 »

So blue cherry switches are 23 cents per switch? I would be in for at least 200 blue cherry switches if someone is going to order.

Nonmouse · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 27 March 2010, 10:13:39 »

6000 sounds like a number you could buy from Cherry directly?

hmmm

eunjea · « **Reply #21 on:** Sun, 28 March 2010, 18:32:56 »

I have some stock of E1NW.
http://kbdholic.net/xe/kbd/sale/835
I bought it from one of Cherry's distributor in U.K.
If somebody interest, I can sell these but maybe shipping cost (ex: to U.S) will be slightly high coz' I'm in S.Korea.

P.S
If this post will be problem, plz advise me I'll delete it.
