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.

There is a 7x15 plate mounted one with blues.

Jarltech boards use blues, but the software is horrible and not even xp compatible.

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

I wasn't gonna say the name of the board 'till tomorrow for whatever reason

Is this by any chance the reason?

Damn it kbdfr, now Ascaii will beat me.

Another DT member got one for 1€ a few days ago. Good price, if you ask me

Don't know who you are talking about. PS: seller added original receipt. Retail price was >250€ for the entire unit 80 for the board

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?
