Lol, how ironic, G81s, which feel like butt to most, having the cherry suffix lANUS
Anyway, here they are, don't buy them all at once!
G81-3000LANUS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190401932917&rvr_id=146765798508&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=M*S%3F&GUID=59646db112b0a0abd226bd76fffb1411&itemid=190401932917&ff4=263602_263622#ht_500wt_1154)
$8 is cheap even for these things...and with a standard layout!

To bad they aren't double shot.
-
Can I drop the internals of a G80-3000 into one of these?
-
It would take my Cherry brown 3000 to a whole 'nother level.

Yeah, unfortunately.
But they may have N-key according to the naming scheme, I'll have to see(I may be ordering one)

If you order one and end up not wanting it, I might buy it from you (if the seller sells out). I am moving right now and don't want to order anything for awhile.

Yeah, I'll let you know, but I will probably keep it, so don't rely on me for it. Even if I don't like a keyboard, I like to keep it anyway, I like collecting haha (wonder why I'm on this forum....)

How far are you moving?

Well, the recent G80 I'm on right now had several big shafts through it, which helped keep the PCB in place and also add stiffness; I can't see it fitting.
The lasered caps look much nicer than the G81-7000 I bought and promptly hid at work for when we need to do stuff with a card-swipe reader.

Here's a pic of the inside. Since I don't have a G80-3000 I don't know if you can do the swap. I thought the cases were a bit bigger on the G81?
I think I had asked this before and found out that it wasn't possible. These things are cheap enough, though, that I might buy one anyway and still give it a shot. If they are still around next week, I'll probably pick one up. I really want the white case and all-white keys. The black cable will look dumb coming out it, though. I could always get some of that mesh cable wrap to make it look a little more 1337.

That would be pretty sweet, and yeah, I really like the white on white of these ones too. I will definitely be getting at least one of these.

Alright, two have been ordered, I will take some pics and probably take one apart for you guys once I get it.
Hahaha, I can't wait, I'll be using an AT to PS/2 Adapter AND a PS/2 to USB adapter on this thing at work, it'll be adaptastic!
