Ya don't see this often. But it's really pricey.

Shipping is a killer eh?
The listing title is "Cherry G80 3000 Keyboard Black G80-3000 Linear White", so maybe not Cherry blacks?

Hey this ebayer jacked the pictures from this web site:

Looking at the pics on this above, seems this board is not NKRO.

How'd you figure that out? Google "G80-3484HKMUS / 00"? Busted, cool.

Damn, I was just about to snag one until I saw the shipping. ****. That. I was going to swap out the top part of the case and the key caps with my 3000, but not for $120+. If it had browns or reds, I probably would have bought one, though.

In the description they say
# Three different types of confirmation: linear, soft or click pressure point
Maybe you can get it with teh browns. Or, of course, maybe they just C&Ped that from Cherry's website. Might be worth asking, though.

Yeah, that shipping is crazy. I just got a HP netbook from Shanghai to West Coast US in two days and cost me $19 for shipping by FedX.
They're obviously just trying to skirt eBay's fees. Think of it as a $120 board with $17 shipping. Less offensive?

Cherry G80-3484 comes with Cherry MX Browns. this one below is a G80-3484HKCUS-2 but I think it's a draw which Cherry MX switch you get.

I would not be sure if this is the actual keyboard shown on the pictures. You should probably fire the seller an email to make sure. This might be a normal G80-3000 with lasered keys. He sells the same keyboard in white (http://cgi.ebay.com/Cherry-G80-3000-Keyboard-Black-G80-3000-Linear-White-/270601510119?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3f011b5ce7#ht_1583wt_1137) and uses the same pictures for that auction :rolleyes:
-
I just messaged the seller, and they said they have all types available and to just let them know the model number.
-
I suppose so. I didn't ask as he was wanting model numbers. I was going to look for the one somebody bought awhile back and ask. I haven't had time, though.
-
The same person does seem to be selling boards with Cherry MX red.. I fired off an email to get confirmation on what exactly is being sold since the "Linear White" in the name is a bit confusing..

If it is in fact a G80-3494 LYCUS I'll be grabbing one.
-
They're very clever, previously didn't sell many through Taobao, now they're selling through ebay via H.K.
So just browse through Taobao, find the required keyboard and message the HK seller.
As I see this situation, these sellers are another form of 'Buying Agents'.
Nothing is impossible in the land of money.
-
actually that Cherry G80-3494 is a deal. I contacted obook a couple months ago and they gave me a price quote to ship a Cherry G80-3494 from China to North America.
$136.10 expense (keyboard)
$28.68 Freight Charge
$30.62 Commission
$7.19 Paypal charge
Total $202.59
the Hong Kong seller is only asking $168.

Just curious do these Cherry keyboards really cost that much?
-
Cherry keyboards are not cheap. that is typically why they are expensive.
Side note it looks like the price has been lowered.

My brain just imploded.
-
Their value is really in what you might be willing to pay for them, but what you usually pay for them depends on their value.
-
Glad I could ruin someones mind with that statement.
-
The lower price constitutes the value that reflects the new price, with the initial price being the original value that is now the lower price.

Does the G80-3484HKCUS-2 have NKRO ?
Any reviews ???
