Just wondering would anyone be interested in this Cherry G81-3100 US ansi dye sublimated POS keyboard ?
Yes it's G81 this time around :bounce: Cherry MY switches, so the caps are compatible for Cherry MX as well. Dye Sublimated as you can see from the pictures.

Private message with offer if interested :}
PS: If you do get this, please consider getting the patch kit if you plan on using the caps on a more modern keyboard e.g. Filco, Cherry g80-3494, Ducky etc.

I assume you are trying to proxy-sell for a few extra bucks from these guys:
http://cfusion.com/parts/g81-3100spbus00/
Last time I asked they never got back to me.

Ugh, too rich for my blood. I am out of the running :D
-
They have 0 stock left :} got bought out.

Wow. That site rivals in crappiness to Unicomp's.
-
How much are you expecting?
-
My guess: ~$200 or more. For me that's way too much to pay for a board I'm only going to steal the keycaps from.
-
So, you have 7 of these or what ? :)

wrong model. mines SPBUS. Basically it's the same thing for the dye subbed caps and both compatible with Cherry mx switches.
Anyway i'll list one first on ebay :}

For those who are interested KBC is prototyping thicker pbt dye subbed and doubleshot keycaps.

:doh: moogle will kill you :biggrin:
-
nah i don't really care :}
-
They're not available yet, so it doesn't matter much.
-
Its not gonna matter afterwards either. Theres dozens of other sublimation dyed keycaps, yet Asian collectors only want the real deal from Cherry Corp.
-
bad for them... :)

Yea, I was kinda thinking that too...
-
I don't see why old keycaps that don't have much texture and pulled from MY switches for 200$+ a real deal. If there are dozens of other sublimation dyed mx keycaps then maybe you could enlight us with some information about them.
-
I am interested too... The only problem with these old goodies is that the bottom row doesn't fit our modern keyboard.
-
I would guess that the non-Cherry Corp MX-compatible dye subs are still more expensive than an SP group buy, but sixty please correct if I'm wrong. Please see the latest SP estimate for a 104 key dye sub set:
1 set $891.95 / set
5 sets $250.60 / set
10 sets $170.43 / set
25 sets $122.33 / set
50 sets $106.30 / set
75 sets $100.95 / set
100 sets $98.28 / set

Dye subbed and pbt!
-
There is a bunch on POS boards for alternative dye subs: KSI, some TG3, Tipro to name a few.
Most of these are extremely thin. The reason the original Cherry ones feel so good is because they are really thick PBT. Their texture is actually different from Cherry double shot keys and they last much longer. Best of all, they don't yellow either.
