Title: [fr] G80-1861 Ebay
Post by: dewaere on Wed, 22 December 2010, 14:44:22: http://shop.ebay.fr/?_from=R40&_trksid=p4939.m38.l1313&_nkw=g80-1861&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_sacat_sel=See-All-Categories (http://shop.ebay.fr/?_from=R40&_trksid=p4939.m38.l1313&_nkw=g80-1861&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_sacat_sel=See-All-Categories)

Someone knows which MX switches and what kind of caps on this Cherry?
I've just read on OC: "Black switches & Double shot keycaps".

Can someone confirm that?

Poser une question, mon ami!

Ask for a photo of the label or at least ask if they can tell you the complete product code.

Post by: sixty on Mon, 27 December 2010, 15:51:37: They are blacks, double shot keys. g80-1861HAF. They are taken from a portable goupil computer (http://mpc.fab.free.fr/goupil/golf/golfecranp.jpg). I ordered one of them 6 weeks ago. It never arrived in germany.

The seller had warned me that economy with French Post is not a good idea, but I didn't feel like paying nearly 30 Euros just for the shipping on a 15 Euro board. I guess he was quite right.

If you do get one of them, I suppose go for registered mail if you are outside of France.

Somehow that just sounds like a lame excuse ...

Great keyboard, it cost me 15 euros + shipping.
Indeed, the label says g80-1861HAF. It's more dark grey than black.

A shipment with insurance of 150 euros from France to Germany cost 18.65 euros (2 kg). It's rather odd that he asked you 30 euros, not very honest...

btw, I doubt that the seller doesn't have you sent the keyboard with 762 100% positive transactions.

Yes, I'm also sure he did send it. Maybe I misunderstood his initial message wrong... let me find it again so you a Native French person can take a look:

Bonjour

J'ai posté le clavier ce matin. Je vous en souhaite bonne réception
le service économique est parfois un peu lent

Maybe I'll order a second one, I really need one in my G80-1800 collection.

Hi,

I sent the keyboard this morning. I wish you good reception
The economical service is sometimes pretty slow.

6 weeks is f***ing slow yeah.
If you are planning to buy another goupil, send him this pdf (http://www.laposte.fr/Particulier/Consultez-nos-tarifs/Tarifs-Colis) (the first from the top "Tarifs au départ de France métropolitaine...")

Post by: dewaere on Tue, 28 December 2010, 10:05:35: Double shot & Cherry black.

I just cleaned it a bit.
Any advice to clean the keycaps?

Clear MX for the spacebar?

Post by: Half-Saint on Fri, 07 January 2011, 05:17:22: I got mine two days ago. The keys are yellowed and shiny. Overall it's ugly :P

dewaere: yours looks not yellowed at all!

Post by: sixty on Fri, 07 January 2011, 05:18:54: You should totally sell me the case.

Post by: dewaere on Fri, 07 January 2011, 14:54:05: Yep, the keycaps were not yellowed at all, just a little dirty. I cleaned them all.

Post by: Half-Saint on Tue, 25 January 2011, 08:01:38: I got another board (case is going to Sixty), keycaps are not yellowed but they are certainly shiny :P

Post by: keyb_gr on Tue, 25 January 2011, 11:33:16: Looks like that one saw a good bit of use then, though shiny keys aren't that uncommon. Keep in mind vintage Cherry doubleshots are ABS.
