Considering there were two lots $15 BIN + $8 shipping (although those were blacks, but they had doubleshots) and there are $49.99 used with lasered browns - definitely offer low. I guess switches are worth slightly more than keys, if that is what one is after cannibalizing, though.

Like Gump's box of chocolates ya never know what you'll get with a Cherry POS keyboard. This one IS N-key and Cherry brown it looks like to me.
Not sure. I don't know the Cherry code system very well. So I tend to go by the captain crunch decoder ring info posted here.
The label on the ebay page says "G80-8113LRCUS-2 / 02" and on the Wiki "Cherry switches and boards" (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Dating+Cherry+keyboards), under exceptions, says:
"Cherry G80-8113LRCUS (Beige MX8100): Lasered Keys, White or Clear switches (non-clicky, tactile, stiffer than browns), 120 Keys Layout with Touchpad, PS/2, serial plug for barcode scanner".

I'll save Chloe from reputation damage, but 8113/8100 boards and white/clear switches ain't in my collection or knowledge.

Brown. Not Black, Not Clear and DEFINITELY not White.
Racist... switches is switches, man.

Well, brown black or white, they're mine now, I don't discriminate.
Got em for $30 too!
I'm interested to see what kind of condition the switches are in, the listing doesn't look too promising....
They'll probably just end up in my first cannibalization project.
