Title: Cherry G80-3000LXCEU-2

Is that with brown switches? (X really stands for custom, doesn't it? So it can be other switches then brown. Even though most X boards I have seen been brown switches.)

As far as I know it was specially made for DataCal, as Cherry never officially made G80-3000 with brown switches, but it is no more available at DataCal.

I just got off the phone with DataCal, and they said that any of the G80-XXXXs with brown switches is a custom job, and they are the only vendor still carrying/ordering them.  According to DataCal, Cherry does not have a standard production model due to manufacturing these with brown switches is particularly expensive (w/o getting into too much of a debate, I would imagine this is due to demand and not due to brown switches being any harder to implement than the others).  The only version with brown switches still in production is the G80-3000 from DataCal.  Props to DataCal for answering quickly and with the personal touch of a phone call and a thorough explanation.
