How Rare is an Amiga Cherry Keyboard?

[NorthWay]

I have a Cherry keyboard myself, it came with my 2000 rev 4.1 when I bought it new.

It has the drawback that you _need_ to follow the RKM guidelines for programming it: It takes a long time to reply unlike 500 or other keyboards.

But it is a nice enough keyboard. Still think I prefer my 4000 one though.

however you probably will never encounter any software that would fail to read the keyboard.

A vast number of games and demos fail with it. 95% of hw-banging games and even more among demos. IMHO. (It did get better later on, but it was real shyte for many years.=

There is not much reason to throw the whole entire OS in the garbage when writing a game or Demo.

But people did. And they did it wrong too. So I am not the one to argue with.
The Cherry being rare didn't make it easier to knock that into the programmers.
