The only thing i found was Tsonga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsonga_language) and that would be really creepy. :crutch:

It has a special Czech/US layout. Look at those Z/Y keys. If you want the caps, go for it. They look double shot.

Fotget the board itself, G80 are those what we are all after. G81 have compatible caps, though.

edit: G81-7000LUATS-2/00
The L means lasered, so they are lying with their pic!!!
The first letter of 3 or 5 letter codes must be H.
=> skip it!

Keys look lasered on the pics too actually.. wouldnt say they are lying. Lasered black keys are not too bad, they are thick and usually made of POM. I think this may be a SWISS layout. Those have both Z and Y too..

Anyway, if you plan to use the keycaps on a G80, they will most likely all fit but with a chance of Enter, Space, Shifts, Numpad + and Numpad Enter not fitting at all. This depends on the generation on the keyboard and is impossible to tell unless you get one.

Well, I know. I already have a G80 3000. :D

So you would say they created a product code themself?
hm....

At least in the US, you REALLY have to check with the seller about the product code. I bought a G80 that I thought was a 89xxLUBUS-2, got a 8113HUBUS-2 in its place.

In other words, don't necessarily trust the description or the pictures, as quite often, they get it wrong.

Though, in my case, I was quite happy with my new POS board with double shots...

Well, that's always the better ending. Mostly you get the worse one. :frown:
