New boards with MX Clears?
« on: Sat, 05 March 2011, 17:25:30 »
Anyone know if I order new:
G80-3000LQCDE-0

What will it be? Don't need an other Brown board. And also would prefer UK-model from german and in ISO. Or is my only option still find something used?

I ordered a G80-3000LQCDE as they are supposed to have clears (they are described as "soft tactile action" whereas browns have "ergonomic tactile action").
The keyboard hasn't arrived yet though, so I can't guarantee it until then.

You could ask Bruce from The Keyboard Company if they have any clears, but I believe they only have specialty keyboards with clears.

I will wait until someone informs me about this. Atleast I then have use for my double shots...

*Whoosh*


Ok, I struck my forehead. I'm typing on a G80-3000LQCDE-0 / 02 right now, albeit a beige one!
I bought it second-hand from someone who bought it in 2009-2010 so it is guaranteed to be the "new" model. It does have clears and comes in the german ISO layout.

That G80-3000LQCDE is actually a nicer looking board then the G80-8113 that everyone recommends to people who want clear switches. No extra row of keys along the top, no extra card reader or touchpad and the arrow cluster is where it should be. Why isn't it recommended more? Out of production?

I like the look of it a lot, and I'd but it to try it out if I could find it for sale in the US somewhere...

Good find. Here it is linkified and translated to English.

I do notice that there is no mention of NKRO. If it's only 2-Key, then it could be a disappointment to gamers.

Relatively affordable form germany, 68€ inluding the shipping, as new. Likely going to pick one up. NKRO or not, only option I could find.

I can confirm it does NOT have nkro. None of the G80-3000's do, except for the ones with reds. Damn Cherry Corp. Sales Manager!

Anything with ANSI layout?  My searches on G80-3000LQCDE all showed pics of ISO keyboards.

I personally don't think it's that bad looking. Just wish it didn't have a trackpad and had ansi layout. That's why I stripped it of it's goods and swapped them into my G80-3494 :D

Maybe in us, 95$ for brand new with shipping from germany to finland. And that price isn't the cheapest, one of the shops which I could read in english...

No, for Americans it's unobtainium. There have been some rumors about G80-3000s being introduced in the US though.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

Yep, I do spelling by phonetics, not how it should be done... (English is stupid language anyway)

G80-3000    G80-3000LQCCH-0    Switzerland  light grey  light grey  Soft pressure point 105

Yep, they make model for Swiss...

Turns out my G80-3000LQCDE-2 was put aside after all! I guess this must be the last one in stock for my retailer, as they confused me as heck when they called me to say the KB was considered EOL.

More clear silence for when the model F sounds tiring.
