    Hey evatech

    I bought this Cherry branded keyboard from you a long time ago, quite happy with it.
    http://i.imgur.com/DCT8ZFr.jpg

    If you were to stock them again, I'd be happy to buy some more.
    Kinda sad that actual Cherry branded keyboards aren't as mainstream as they should, their boards are built well.

      Unfortunately we can't sell what our suppliers don't have stock of any more. :(

      I think at the time, we cleaned them out of those units and from memory we were told Australia would likely never see (official) stock again.

      Great to know you love it that much though!

    • gwaylow on 13/01/2016 - 19:24

      Do you know the model number of this keyboard

      • payton on 13/01/2016 - 21:16

        Its G80-3000

        • Employeewheretobuychocettes @ Evatech Australia on 13/01/2016 - 22:42

          We actually had it down as being Cherry G80-3494 — not 100% on that, can check for you tomorrow if I remember.

        • payton on 13/01/2016 - 22:51

          @rloos:
          you're right, the front of the box said G80-3000 in big letters but the sticker on the side says G80-3494

    What is tesoro like in terms of quality? Price is pretty darn good.

    • exit on 13/01/2016 - 15:54

      Good quality, Durandal and Colada series use Cherry MX and the rest use Kailh switches.

      $69 for an aluminium Cherry MX backlit keyboard is a steal ………… no point buying a keyboard but damn this is good

      It's okay. I've got the Tesoro Lobera Supreme that I have been using for almost a year now. I bought it for $80 at mwave, it seemed like a great deal at the time for an RGB lit keyboard. The pictures shows that you can customise different colours for individual keys, but that is not the case, you can only set the whole keyboard to one colour. The colours also aren't even uniform especially brighter colours, which i find quite annoying. Also note that the macro and indicator lights are only white, and you can also see random pieces of red through the macro keys (random stuff under the keyboard). The software UI is absolutely horrible, there's a lot wrong with it.

      Other than that, the switches have a similar feel to the cherry mechanical switches.

        The software UI is absolutely horrible, there's a lot wrong with it.

        Seems like it was made for Windows 2000 or something. Have a Durandal as well, very well built I have to say.

    • donnot on 13/01/2016 - 16:50

      I got one of G1NL with MX blue the other day ($66 on ebay with the 15% and CR) and it's brilliant. The red backlight works as a good torch late at night. Very sturdy and the built in audio and USB ports are very handy.

    • aznkevy on 14/01/2016 - 06:45

      I have a Tesoro Excalibur (I bought it in a local PC shop in Moorabbin, Victoria), doesn't lose to my friends Corsair K70 RGB Cherry and got it for about half the price he paid for.

      People say Chinese products are sh*t, Chineses Brands are bad, but hey, look at the CEO of Razer and Logitech… and Monster and Sol Republic… and Chinese brands such as Oppo and One Plus.

      • arcticfox007 on 14/01/2016 - 15:06

        Small majority of bad stuff ruins the image of the good ones.
        The mind set that they are bad will be hard to shake off since there are still many companies who make reproductions out there.

      • Butt Scratcher on 14/01/2016 - 23:07

        I've had a really bad experience with corsair keyboards. I bought a k95 when it first came out (non-rgb with white backlight), it had a major flaw with the way the led lights were made, where they all slowly died over time. I don't know the details, but it had something to do with the way the lights made contact with the aluminium plate which causes it to burn out. I spoke to corsair and they wanted me to ship it overseas at my own expense (which costs about $50) to receive the same poorly designed keyboard which will probably have dead leds again in a few months, when that happens if i'm lucky then i would get another chance to send it back for another $50. No thanks corsair, for a $200 keyboard that is unacceptable.

        I definitely won't be buying keyboards that expensive anymore, and stick with more reasonably priced keyboards like the tesoro range.

      The on-page shipping estimate doesn't show Couriers Please satchel rates - I'm working on a fix for that now.

      If you register and go to the checkout process, the satchel option should show up at a cheaper rate.

      Edit: Fixed. =]

      • fastnbulbous on 14/01/2016 - 05:47

        I didn't seem to be able to get a satchel rate for 2 keyboards.
        Although when I removed one it appeared - not sure if there was a weight limit or if something could be adjusted further?

        • Employeewheretobuychocettes @ Evatech Australia on 14/01/2016 - 10:33

          A keyboard and mouse barely fit in a satchel (we have to get a bit creative) so two keyboards cannot get the satchel option, unfortunately.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2016 - 16:18

      Personally any keyboard with a blue switch. Good for typing.

    • NiteMice on 13/01/2016 - 16:27
      +1

      Some people who spend a lot of time typing every day claim that a mechanical keyboard feels better on their fingers. Some programmers etc. like them too.
      Multi-button mice may be useful for others looking to add quick actions to their workflow, depending on what software you use with it. e.g. use the buttons as 1-click copy/paste keys, for text expansion, etc.

      It's really down to personal preference.

    • macrocephalic on 13/01/2016 - 16:46

      You know when you're a sloppy typer, and you hit the corner of a key, but it doesn't press down properly, or it takes a lot more pressure to activate, and it throws off your typing (assuming you're typing a fair bit)? That doesn't really happy with mechanical keyboards. The activations are smooth and will (should) always be that way (or for many many years).

      I'm not going to say that mech keyboards are so good that you'll never go back, but I have a brown switched keyboard and I find it much nicer to type on.

      • Max Power on 13/01/2016 - 18:12

        If you're a sloppy typer, you're going to be registering a lot of accidental key strokes since most mechanical switches (red, brown, blue) require less pressure and have less travel before actuation.

        • Max Power on 14/01/2016 - 19:02

          @vash12:
          There's some good info here about the different Cherry MX switches:
          http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/mechanical-keyboard-guide

          The MX Blue switch usually reminds people of the old "clicky" keyboards from the early PC days. The combination of the strong tactile feedback and simultaneous click gives a very satisfying feel while typing. However, the clicking can be loud, which can limit its use in shared computing spaces.

    I won a Tesoro headset at a LAN in 2014, and the microphone didn't work at all. I rang up to sort out warranty, and got told I'd get a call back. I followed up about 2 months later, and they said to try again tomorrow. I rang again and they said "We can't help you anymore, sorry, please stop ringing us. You should be grateful it works at all". I know I won it and I'm not losing any money on it, but I was really unhappy with that customer service. Just a heads up for what you might have to go through if you get anything faulty.

    • Store Repevatech @ Evatech Australia on 13/01/2016 - 17:18

      That's unusual, we've never had any problems like that with our dealings with the Tesoro distributor. Did you contact the competition holder or sponsor or Tesoro directly?

      • Doy on 13/01/2016 - 17:20

        The best contact number for Tesoro Australia I could find. I think it might have been while they were getting established properly, but it was super unprofessional (sometimes took ages to answer and it was someone really out of breath, like they'd run to pick up the phone). That's great if they've improved since and that you've had good experiences dealing with them, but mine may have been the worst I've ever had with a company.

        • Employeewheretobuychocettes @ Evatech Australia on 13/01/2016 - 17:32

          I can't seem to find any information or contact on "Tesoro Australia". If there are any warranty issues with products, we (Evatech, on your behalf) only have to deal with the supplier we purchased from, which is Australian; we buy from regularly, and have a long and positive history with.

        • Doy on 13/01/2016 - 17:38

          Yeah, it was late 2014, so I can't recall exactly, but it was definitely a Sydney based number that got me onto Tesoro directly. Unfortunately I didn't have the same luxury, from winning it, to just get someone else to try and deal with the warranty side of things. If you and your customers have only had good experiences, I guess my experience is irrelevant; I just wish I got some professional follow up from Tesoro about a product that was faulty from the get go.

        • exit on 13/01/2016 - 18:01

          @Vinbie: Tesoro support is abysmal and I can't imagine them helping you since there are from Taiwan or something. I bought a Tesoro from MechKB and their support has been nothing short of excellent.

    I love my cherry brown logitech g710+, but I spilled tequila, whisky, and coke on it (all on separate occasions), with each spill rendering a couple keys dead, was still usable up till the last spill as dead keys were only tab/caps/shift/ctrl/alt/?/, but latest spill killed a couple critical keys so it's time for a new keyboard, I promise I won't spill anything on this one, ordered a tesoro durandal esport with the red/black cherry.

    Hey guys I made an OZbargain account to leave this comment.

    I thought I missed out on the first Brown switch mechanical keyboard posted, it ran out of stock for I was too slow!

    They restocked the RGB Brown Switch Lobera Supreme but not before I had purchased a cherry keyboard 2.0 for $70

    I sent them an email to ask if they can change my order as it has just been no more than an hour after I made it and paid - they responded so fast like within 20 mins to 30 mins and advised order has been changed extra $5.00 outstanding.

    Very very good and prompt customer service, heres hoping that the goods arrive safely and on time, but so far A+ service from EVATECH!!!! :)

    • Employeewheretobuychocettes @ Evatech Australia on 15/01/2016 - 13:09

      Someone cancelled an order for one of those and changed to another model - so there is one left up for grabs.

      I've been told that anything that accepts orders should mean you get it (or worst case we refund 100% of what you pay if we cannot stock it). Out of stock with no more stock arriving and you should not be able to order it.

      • TRANCE on 19/01/2016 - 09:47

        The cherry red keys in the e-sport G1NL are the best for gaming, while the blue and brown are usually better for typing, so due to the demand I can only conclude that there are more typists than gamers on ozbargain.

        • Employeewheretobuychocettes @ Evatech Australia on 19/01/2016 - 10:42
          +1

          That could be true if you take preference out of the equation, which you have done. My gamer friend has a cherry blue keyboard, we had a LAN over the weekend and could always tell when he was camping or walking about.
          click click click click = walking about
          no clicks = camping

          Also, the e-sport G1NL came into stock and was advertised after the initial post went live, so might have had something to do with it too.

        • TRANCE on 19/01/2016 - 11:07

          Yeah its all about preference. I have a cherry brown keyboard which I love and I've ordered the e-sport g1nl from you. I feel the tactile click in the browns (and even more-so for blues) is unnecessary and takes away from linear actuation, which I like to have when gaming, but for typing a tactile click is nice to have, but not necessary, so overall cherry reds are winners for me.

        • Employeewheretobuychocettes @ Evatech Australia on 19/01/2016 - 11:13

          @TRANCE: I've got brown switch in a Logitech G710+ at home, black at work. I find very little difference in the two when not paying attention (which often during gaming I am not paying attention to how the keys feel). I would probably prefer black switches in my Logitech at home. Maybe I just use my work keyboard more than home, getting too used to it.

          The first world problem that is choice/options.

  • Phreaker on 22/01/2016 - 21:53

    How would you compare the quality between the Colada Saint G3NL Blue and the Tesoro Lobera Supreme G5NFL Full Color
