That IS a good find. Nice collector item. What's the story on how you came upon this board?

the story may be a little bit strange xD,
this is come from a reseller, he give me this for a present, because I buy much computer stuff in his shop, i think this is come from ZF electronics (HK), the distributor of cherry in Hong Kong..:eyebrows:
PS how much does it worth? xD

Asides from the label that says prototype, it doesn't appear to be unique otherwise. I suppose it's a little odd for winkeyless to have 5 letter model number, but I have seen others. Some identical looking g80-1901HA* new in box were on sale recently for $50ish, so it would be up to collector to decide how much more the label is worth. Interesting thing to receive as a gift for sure, lucky you. Still a nice set of doubleshots if nothing else.

I've still got few brand new G81s with all dye sub PBT keycaps (including space bar) I don't need and would like to sell them to geek hackers (that's why i've only posted in classifieds here, not on ebay).

My MY sucks.  Like typing on wet newspapers.

Once you get used to it, it's like typing on a cloud of silicone implants.

Seriously, MY is one of the best switches I've used.  It takes awhile to appreciate it, though.  After two days, I wanted to throw it in, but I figured I should give it at least a week.  After a week, I wasn't sure if I loved it or hated it.  Now, I think it's one of the best switches, especially for touch typing: extremely fast and fluid, like your fingers are dancing on a hundred little trampolines.

MY might be the most easily-dismissed, least appreciated switch.  But it suits me great.
