Original Cherry boards were. Unfortunately, the one I got a couple of years ago wasn't as durable as I remembered as the spacebar suddenly went 'dead', as in I could tap it with my thumb only to find that the little bud\magnet that was supposed to push it back up had ceased to do so. I tried to exchange it with Cherry, sent it back but they never bothered replacing it.
I got used to using a laptop and noticed how little my fingers hurt using keys with less travel, I've been waiting ages for a company like logitech to bring out a dinovo with a wire, just a shame about the lack of a double-space return\enter key.
