Cherry G80-0693/d - Thrift Find
« on: Sun, 29 January 2017, 15:55:37 »
Hey there guys,

So I stumbled across quite an odd keyboard yesterday while thrifting, an 'Alloy' board.



Only external identifier was the logo on the top left , bottom is completely blank. I noticed the Cherry Doubleshots immediately, and quickly pulled a cap and was graced with MX Blacks. Also pulled the spacebar and it has an MX Tactile Grey switch.

I ended up taking it apart, and was able to find a model number: G80-0693/d









The layout is super funky, including the Big Ass Enter which can easily be converted to ISO by the switch position. The board itself is super clean, only issues I've seen are a few scratches on the 0 and . key on the numpad. I also grabbed some shots of the chips along the top.

I was unable to find any information regarding this model online, so I posted it over at Deskthority to see if they has more info.

Cheers!

Crappy iPhone shot, but here ya go! The switch on the bottom is used as a stab, it just has the spring removed from it.

Swag find! Glad to hear the enter is an easy ISO swap. Not only are bigass enters hideous but kind of impractical. Love seeing that caps lock in a corner  :thumb:
