Title: 3x G80-3190HAU $30 each shipped
Post by: BiNiaRiS on Tue, 24 May 2011, 04:44:25
Seems like a decent deal for some nice doubleshots and MX Browns or Blacks.

They look a little beat but would probably make nice donors.

I thought about grabbing one but decided to hold out for now :)

Hmm, I just ordered white double shots, should be coming in next few days. Possibly could be interested if they were mx brown to try em out (already have mx blacks). Anyone know which there are?

Everything points toward Double-shot MX Back US layout. But with POS... you never really know.

Yeah too bad, can't justify purchasing it if it turns out to be mx blacks, already got two.

These are definitely blacks, sorry guys.

You could ask him/her if he/she could only ship the keys. You never know.

I wouldn't buy the board full price if it's used anyway... for MX Black that is. I paid a nice amount, but the board had MX Clear and brand spanking new for such and older production.

They will be clear switches. I am 98% certain of that.

I bought the almost exact same model, but 3191 (with the key) instead of this one 3190 (no key).

Mine was a G80-3191HDU with MX Clear. Is the 2% = HDU Clear vs HAU Clear.

Generally speaking, A stands for MX Black. But like I said... it's hard to be 100% sure with POS.

Are you sure these are HAU? I just went to check mine again iand they are G80-3190HPU. I can not find any reference to HAU models of this in any of my old catalogs either. If this indeed is a black MX Variant, I am missing one in my collection.

I dunno of the OP talked directly with the seller, but on one of the link, the seller answered the question regarding the model and he said it (they) was (were) HAU. (Third link in OP's post)

If anyone of you guys happens to buy one just for the switches, I'd buy the keycaps from him.
As a matter of fact, I'm just interested in the numpad keycaps if they really have only numbers.

I'd take a gamble on them, but:
1. They look dirty and awfully used.
2. The seller only ships to USA.
3. The shipping is not worth it unless you buy the keys only.

If the board is actually MX Clear, it could be a good deal if one of the board is actually 'clean' (in ebayer language)

Hah, damn, either way won't matter much to me as I also just recieved my mx clear board. Hoped they were browns but oh well. Still a good looking deal for someone not me. :-)

I have several HAD boards, all have black switches. On the older Models A points consistently to blacks. F to blues...at least from the boards Ive gotten in my hands.

That question that was posted was mine.

But they are all sold now so hopefully someone lucked out.

All three keyboards bought by the same buyer, obviously kind of a keyboard freak:

and hence presumably at least reading here ;-)
