Does anybody know of a programmable ortho-linear keyboard (i.e. XY matrix style) that uses switches other than Cherry MX blacks? Most matrix boards are POS keyboards that are plate mounted so a stem transplant is too much of a hassle.
The only one I can think of is the Cherry G80-1950 (MX browns) but its programming software is very old-fashioned. Switching layers is not possible and I haven't even found a way to program key combinations.
Programmable ortho-linear (matrix) keyboard?

Jarltech has, like rodtang says, a 7x15 matrix with MX blues.
I would gladly get rid of the one I have (it is obviously new) for 10€ + shipping.
But don't ask me anything about programming it, I never even tried.
Edit: Ascaii beats me

Is this by any chance the reason?rodtang wrote:I wasn't gonna say the name of the board 'till tomorrow for whatever reason

Ah, how could I forget about the Jarltech?! I even have a 8011twe underneath my pile of keyboards. MX blues and nice spherical double shots for the 10-keys. BUT: its case is rather unwieldy and, whats worse, the programming software requires MS-DOS. Mmh, I could teensyfy it but then I could as well stem-transplant a modern-day AccessIS.
So, no other "modern" POS boards with browns/blues?
