Title: NIB Cherry G81-7910HPBUS POS Keyboard
Post by: steeef on Mon, 31 January 2011, 18:45:44

$49.98 shipped in the US. There are two more available, and they should be a good source of double-shot Cherry keys, arguably the best keycaps for any Cherry switch keyboard.

EDIT: that's HPBUS-2, which means:
H: double-shot keys
P: PS/2
B: Point of Sale (I think)
US: US layout
-2: Black case and keys

The new ebay link i posted is cheaper :/


The 0 on numpad is small, and the right shift small. Cherry spacebar not compatible with ducky/filco. Capslock also off centered stem not compatible. Windows, menu keys are pad printed not double shot.

So if you do get them, just understand their shortcomings.

I have a kit in the works for such cases

There is an anti otaku thread which used this particular board to give filco 10keyless doubleshots. Has pictures and commentary.

Yeah, that's where I got the idea. I'm going to try the keys out on my Filco Tenkeyless. Not a big deal that some of them won't fit.

If you do get them, please consider my kit for it :}

Theres a kit for beige/white and another for black cherry doubleshots.


Sixty is selling the 101 beige/white cherry doubleshots, or you can go for the board you posted for cherry black doubleshots.

these aren't MX switches. ML I believe but the keycaps are compatible.

Post by: CeeSA on Tue, 01 February 2011, 04:25:56

someone in us interested in the board and NOT the keycaps?
i would pay 25$ per doubleshot keyset plus shipping. 2 sets would be nice. for me shipping to germany is to expensive for the whole board.
plz pm me.

otherwise i will contact the seller.

Post by: Moogle Stiltzkin on Tue, 01 February 2011, 04:38:32

Ask the seller if they are willing to just ship the keycaps only :x it will cut down on your shipment.

Post by: CeeSA on Tue, 01 February 2011, 07:44:41

thank you for the tip :wink:

that is exactly what i already post....

the thing is, that someone could get these boards w/o keycaps for local shipping costs only

Post by: RiGS on Tue, 01 February 2011, 08:39:57

Yeah that would be great for sure. I also need one, but I cannot justify 45$ shipping to Hungary.

I actually bid on another keyboard that I won't need. If I end up getting it, keep your eyes peeled on the classifieds. I'll probably try selling the keycaps.

Nope, your link is for a seller refurbished, mine is for a brand new.

I see, in that case the BIN is definitely a better deal. Gonna try to contact the seller and persuade him to sell the keycaps only.
