Hello DT,

First time really posting, and just wanted to introduce myself.

I've been at this keyboard hobby since 2011, and have been using a mechanical keyboard (my first keyboard was a clicky board with Aristotle switches from 1997, and have used IBM Model M BS boards since 1996).

I'm very interested in vintage Cherry keyboards, and have collected a few:
-Nixdorf SoftTouch
-Skidata Keyboard
-G81-3000HBD
-G81-1800HQU (I'm a big fan of WoB)

I would love to find a MX5000 in ANSI some day, the one with the Cherry sticker. ;)

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and make a little introduction.

Cheers,
Karura

Welcome :)
You are among many like-minded people if you are a Cherry nut!

Welcome welcome, there are some great boards there, that's the start of a nice collection :D.

I'm with you on WoB too, classic beige is nice but white on black is just super classy.

Hmm, I like classic beige, but I think the blacked out look of a WoB is just very different.

But you know how they say: variety is the spice of life! Good to have a bunch of different ones, as long as the wallet can hold it.
