Curious about this one - how'd I do?
« on: Wed, 19 January 2011, 00:17:32 »
Picked this up for essentially $5.  What's it worth also, if you could?



Model: D-91275
Manufacturer: Cherry
Switches: Blacks

Thanks!

Thats a Cherry G84-4100 usually with printed key caps. If you tell us the model number on the label on the bottom we can tell for sure what kind of key caps they are.

Go for anywhere between 30 and 70ish I believe.

I paid $16.50 for mine.

The switches are actually ML switches, which aren't color coded like MX switches. They're basically Cherry's answer to scissor switches.

Modell (That's how it's spelled!) ML4100

There's more stuff, artical number, and serial number if needed!  Thanks for all the info so far!

I predict the article number is...

G84-4100PPAxx

Where xx is some two letter code for whatever country spells "model" as "modell". French maybe.

printed key caps just as I predicted. I asked because in rare cases there are dye sublimation as well.

Anyway to make the 'Fn' key operate as the Windows key?
