Anyone got any experience of this keyboard? It looks pretty good in the pics but i ain't seen one in the flesh - interested to know views, especially thoughts on how useful the buttons on the left and right edges are. Do they add anything really useful? (TIA)

Cherry always made cheap and cheerful keyboards several years ago, always in the 'budget' range.

But I've no experience of their products and don't know what they're like now.

Gotta say, from that pic, it looks good.

It's under £30 and from Scan where i can just pop in a collect. They also do a 'solar' powered wireless version with a mouse that's about twice the price - but I aint into wireless stuff (except for my Logitech MX1000). I always used to have the cheap Cherry boards for budget systems, but this looks like they're moving up in the world.

Looks good, I must say! Don't think you'd get many other good keyboards for that price - except maybe one of the cheap MS ones.

Hmmm, cheap and cheerful, maybe? ... but I still insist on having one for myself. Logitech/Genius makes 'cheap-n-cheerful' keyboards.

Cherry have been around from day one in computing, German Company, highly respected in the industry.

This is the one I use, and have used for several years ... Cherry Classic 6000M the only keyboard I've found with no stupid extra buttons.

Looks good Mucks, but I only saying what I seen

Next time keyboard replacement comes around, I may have to consider one of those.

By the way, if you misplace it, is that known as losing your cherry?

Only to a female user ...

They really are an honest, reliable, "plain and simple" (yep, just like me) Keyboard ... though I may get the USB built-in 4 port hub version next time ... the exterior looks exactly the same.

I use to buy these by the box load ... 10 in a box @ £15 each ... no 'confused customers' on the phone about "those extra buttons" ... oh, and they "shower-up" very nicely.
