25 million still counting

Cherry Electrical Products celebrated the 25 millionth keyboard to come off the production line. The keyboard, said to be highly reliable (up to 50 million strokes per key) and easy to install, offers a metal sheet and membrane design, with a metal plate in the base to increase endurance. The models are now produced in black, light grey, USB and PS/2.

President, Peter Cherry says: "For the last 13 years, Cherry has been producing a highly-reliable tool for the business sector. Today, the same technology has been applied to also fulfil the ergonomic and design needs of today’s style-conscious businesses. The NGP range, which includes ultra-flat, lightweight keyboards of contemporary design, has allowed the company to bridge the gap between the b2b and consumer market, allowing Cherry a 30% growth in new accounts this year."
