Do any of you G80 owners prefer it for gaming over like a regular mech kb? (BF3,SC2 ect)
Some of the models seem well sized for larger hands. And they look really niiice.
-
I love G80, but only a few USB models that are currently available have better than 2KRO. Less than 6KRO can suck for certain types of gaming. Otherwise, you will want to buy a vintage AT or ps/2 model that has NKRO.
-
there are models with larger key caps? I thought they are all more or less the same.
-
They would all be the same since the switch is the same. The G80 is a fine board though. :)
-
Two key rollover is not good on my opinion.
Other than that. Not much different.

My G80-
18251865 has NKRO (6KRO over usb). It is the Cherry version of the Raptor board (that was made by Cherry). I have brown stems with black spri ngs in it. It works great for me for FPS gaming as well as typing. I go back and forth between my Filco mx black tkl and G80-1825 for my daily drivers with no complaints.

Aren't G80's PCB mounted?

Almost all Cherry boards are PCB mount. There are very few that are plate mount
-
That's what I thought... My 1800 is PCB I think.

Don't you have an 1800? My 182565 is the same layout, but with diodes, 1unit modifiers, and win/menu keys. PCB flex is only an issue when you apply way more force than you would need to type/game.

I don't have his cap puller handy, so I didn't pull a cap.

You should be able todo the G81-1800 plate trick on them like on 3000's. But I haven't found one which fits yet
