Let's hope for g80-1800 with silent switches too...

I hope it'll be priced similarly to current G80-3000s, and they keep the thick POM caps. €60 is a reasonable price for that.

I had a Corsair strafe RGB with silents as my first mechanical keyboard and I have to say after trying normal mx reds I hated the silent switches.

They're a little harder to press. Swapping springs is very easy though.

Wasn't the weighting, the dampened and shortened feel was horrible.

That didn't annoy me so much, since I'm used to o-rings

maybe it will also dispense kitkats

Given the empty space inside the g80, it could host a server. Plus kitkats.

I hope the PCB is universal and supports 6/NKRO.

Dear Sir or Madam,

there´s a new version of the G80-3000 planned (with silent switches) but to the actual date we can not give you further information to this product because this keyboard will be presented at the CES 2017. But you can always go ahead with the launch.

G80-3000 is one of my favorite boards, hopefully they can fix the issues with silent switches before they release this board.

With the typical RGB nonsense where they will count on it blaring like a demented Xmas Tree instead of making a real, quality G80 keyboard because those days are now long gone to never be repeated again.

Cherry has repeatedly dropped the ball on every so-called 'new' release of a keyboard.  They would rather cut corners or deliver upon shoddily made goods than actually release a quality update able to compete with the likes of Leopold or Filco.
