[Coco] new mylar

[Dave Philipsen]

To take this a step further, has anyone thought about designing a 
circuit board with Cherry MX1 switches and keycaps?  I think the Cherry 
switches are rated for 50 million actuations so it would be a keyboard 
that would last a lifetime although it would be perhaps an expensive 
proposition.

Interestingly, there are sites on the internet for designing your own 
keyboard and for buying keycaps. There are evidently a number of people 
who prefer high quality custom-built keyboards.
