Title: America : Cherry G80-3000 (MX Blue) & Cherry G80-1800(MX Brown) available soon
Post by: Mazora on Tue, 04 January 2011, 09:30:54

I've had a email discussion with Ed Ferraton from Cherry Tech Services and he told me to check back with him at the end of January.

I'll order one for sure as I'm looking to build a nice keyboard collection but can't find any Cherry keyboard in NorthAmerica :(

have a good day and happy New Year,

Max

I'll have to check with some folks on that.  I wonder if this is related info to some stuff I might be privy to.

She left.  I was talking with someone overseas.  I need to contact them and see if they are still interested in doing something here.

You are joking, right ?
I keep seeing all these wonderful Cherry POS-boards on eBay
that have an 'H' in the model-name ...
But the $40 shipping, $30 customs handling fee and 25% sales-tax added
makes it kinda stupid to import them back to Europe ...

Some people might want a non-POS 'board, NIB.  Those are damn-near impossible to find in the US.  Especially the G80-1800s.

Man this would be nice.  If they could revive the g80-3000LSCRC that would be pimpin.  I hope they sell it through some better vendors though, those POS houses lacked a little bit of professionalism.

Sure, however if somebody is about to start collecting Cherry-boards
the POS-boards with an 'H' are worth picking up just for the double-shot keycaps, even if they are only MY-boards .
You CAN find the POS-boards NIB on eBay,
sometimes for less than what we paid for the GH Signature Plastics set ..

Trust me, a G80-3000 is SO MUCH nicer with doubleshots ..
