While trying to resuscitate an LK464 keyboard that had drowned in 
coffee, I notice the circuit board said "Cherry" on it. I called the 
company and got someone technical and they said yes they could restart 
production on them but the minimum order was, as I remember, 10,000.

3Dconnection has a keyboard that has enough keys and is supposed to be 
programmable, but the driver is Windoze only. Not an option for me as my 
company is 100% Linux or Mac.
