someone offered me both and i have no clue what the difference between those two models is... any ideas?
-
Do you have full model numbers? the letters after the 1800 and 1851 are what will tell you the differences.
-
if i would have the letters i could tell the difference by myself but there should be a reason they gave them 2 differen numers... shouldn't there be one?
-
I thought model number like 1851 were to designate some customization for a reseller or company. Could be as insignificant as a company logo instead of Cherry, specialized legends, custom keycap or body color (I've seen some that were green or blue for example), a layout change, different switch type than standard model. Full model number might help or a picture would clear up the mystery.

Exactly...without the full model number there is tons of different things. If they are the same layout, let's say German ISO, there's a good chance the only difference is what type of switch it is. But anything lysol listed could also be the differences.

1851
-
dont see any difference :D
-
CeeSA's is a picture of an ISO 1851. The one you are being offered could easily be an ANSI 1851. The last letter, at least, would be useful to have.
-
At least it isn't as bad as someone asking this about a random model m model number.

They are the same. The G80-1851 is very common in Germany as a huge medical center had hundreds of thousands of these recycled. There are probably still over 10000 of these in stock at a Berlin recyler, available as low as 1 Euro.
They originally had a logo of the medical company but 95% of the ones offered have that logo filed/scratched off. They are MX Black, 2 key rollover. USB and PS2 variants exist.
-
Are they all in terrible condition or something?
-
i guess they are VERY used ^^ the guys at the seller from berlin told me they have many pallets of them... but i don't think i need more blacks

Is that 2 key rollover plus modifier keys? The reason I ask is because you need at least 3 key rollover for combinations like CTRL-ALT-DELETE.
Also, can you tell me whether the USB variants of the keyboard support PS/2 as well (using a passive converter), or are they USB only?
Thanks

Please tell me more! I live in Hamburg but I still do smell a terrific deal here.

They arent in that bad condition...Im the one that packed most of the 1800 pallets after sorting out the interesting stuff for myself when I worked there last summer.
-
Where exactly is that? I guess I can't just order a few of them to my place...
-
