The NTK offered a completely new design using a metal sheet and membrane, with a metal plate in the base to increase endurance.

The models are now produced in black, white, USB and PS/2 with standard lettering, extra large characters for those with poor eye-sight, as well as lower caselettering for children in primary schools learning to write. This format is also the basis for the company's smartcard and biometric models.

This technology has been further developed and incorporated into Cherry's luxury eVolution NGP range of keyboards. Says Peter Cherry, President of Cherry, "For the last 13 years, Cherry has been producing a highly-reliable tool for the business sector. Today, the same technology has been applied also to 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 markets, allowing Cherry a 30% growth in new accounts this year.
