Title: Cherry Touchpad PS/2 Keyboard - Black D-91275
Post by: J888www on Thu, 20 May 2010, 18:43:42

Cherry Touchpad (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280497705458#ht_879wt_1136) with similar format to the Compaq 11800 in the recent Post. Unfortunately for some people, it's also UK shipping only.

Messaged the seller requesting the Model and Type number and received:-
   
       "Model MX11900                Type: G80-11900HRMGB / 01"

Judging by the received info, these kbds should be Cherry MX Black switches with Double Shot key-caps, UK format.

"Fork of Death"'s  kbd is  11900HRMUS (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http://my3c.com/D5/viewthread.php%3Ftid%3D4625%26extra%3D%26page%3D1&sl=auto&tl=en)[/URL] which has Double-shots with US format, so I presume these also have the  same type of caps.
I have my fingers and toes crossed.

Yes, mine are G80-11900LPMGB-2, and they have printed caps and Cherry blacks. So the listed ones look promising. Assuming all the ones they have are the same model number.

Received the two kbds today. Am very disappointed, seller lacks integrity by messaging a different product type number and then sends two "G80-11900LPMGB-2" instead. Had really hoped they were 11900HRMGB with Double-shots, but I guess it's just too good to be true.

He did offer to refund though, maybe not all bad, maybe a genuine mistake in regard to product availability. Although was looking forward to switch the keycaps with my two 11800s, no wonder I'm always a sad monkey.

Edit: Just checked, these black MX 11900 kbds have non standard Cherry key-caps, they are much more thicker/meatier, in comparison to my Beige MX 11900 and Compaq MX 11800. Maybe not so sad a Monkey afterall.
