Cherry G80-2100
(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=14058&stc=1&d=1292439747)

I'm hoping someone is selling the windowed keys from this keyboard specifically the following:

1. Capslock windowed

I have a G80-1501HAD – not exactly what you're looking for but well, it has got windowed keys. :)

Would a PS2 to usb adapter work i wonder.

Is it easy to mod from black to say brown or red ?

Yes, adaptors work fine.
Yes, it's relatively easy to mod since the switches are PCB-mounted ..
Yes, it's a very nice keyboard ...

However, the used ones have been in service at either medical clinics or hospitals,
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING IT !!!!
 
 It should absolutely be disinfected BEFORE being allowed in your home,
10% Hydrogen peroxide for the caps and case,
Isopropylic Alcohol for the PCB  .

I'm dead-serious here, You could contract nasty stuff from handling a dirty G80-1501

People who have a G80-2100 tend to know what it is .
Only an imbecile would sell loose caps, even if defective this thing is worth good money .

That is true. Though the irony is that most of the used ones I've seen have been in excellent shape. I assume doctors working with them actually clean their equipment regularly and/or permanently use a protective skin over the keyboard, which would explain the brand new key look on yours.
