The '''Cherry B 65-1712''' is a keypad made by Cherry.

==Introduction==
The '''Cherry B 65-1712''' is a keypad made by Cherry<ref name="DT-B65-1712"/>, which features [[Cherry M7]] switches, specifically Cherry M73-0120 switches. The keypad is featured in their [[:File:Cherry_Keyboards_and_Switches_Catalogue_1982.pdf|1982 catalogue]] on page 15.

==Keycaps==
The keycaps are made by [[Cherry]] and are [[Double-shot molding|double-shot]], with the exception of the blank keys and the "0" key, which is engraved and infilled. The [[:File:Cherry_Keyboards_and_Switches_Catalogue_1982.pdf|1982 catalogue]] also states on page 21 that these keycaps are made from Tenite instead of ABS like other doubleshot keycaps usually are. The keycaps are not compatible to [[Cherry MX]] switches, since the keycap stem is too thick to fit into a Cherry MX housing, however the cross mount is compatible.

==Gallery==
The following keypad has been modified by the addition of a veroboard of resistors as well as flying leads soldered to the switches; the original edge connector has been drilled through and made inaccessible.
