Which G86 SPOS are cherry browns?
« on: Mon, 10 May 2010, 00:40:02 »
I thought all the G86-62410EUAGSA had browns, but this one makes no mention of either mx spos or "g80" on the back sticker

Instead of


Do you think the top one has cherry browns?  It is the same model number, but the different sticker worries me as well as the current rating.  The mx spos is rated at 200mA (I've seen other ones that said 100mA), but the one I mentioned is 36mA which is about what the other rubber dome ones are.  Do you think the top pic has browns?

Unlikely.

But, this is Cherry's model number scheme here, which are... fun... to decipher at times, and not always what you think.

If they are cheap enough, buy 'em and find out.

Post #11 is the one where the facts are listed.

Here's how I figure it out:  If the seller is using a stock photo (like dell did) you have no idea what it will end up being.  If there is an actual photo, look for nubs on the F and J keys.   Nubs indicate rubber dome board.  For what it's worth, the MX version is a lot rarer imho, and there is no good source for this one didjamatic sold out of his.

Welcome to geekhack by the way!

Oh yeah the top pic is a rubber dome.

The top sticker is a rubber dome model, the bottom is the MX brown version.  See if you can figure out how to tell.  There is something on the MX version that is a dead giveaway.

Ok, thanks.  Strange that they use the same model number though.

LOL the second pic is obvious, it's the first one I was asking about.

The "article number" is the key.  I believe "G86" refers to custom/special layouts (whothe****knows).  The article number tells the "real" story.

Plus the "Model no. MX SPOS".
