G80-3700 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-G80-3700-3700-81-3000-PS-2-PS2-PROGRAMMABLE-NUMERICAL-NUMBER-KEYPAD-/330832014314?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d071febea)

G80-1950PQAXB (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-G80-1950PQAXB-PS2-W-RS232-PORT-MSR-KEYBOARD-/350649694491?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item51a459b91b)

It's been awhile since I've seen one of these for sale, and I have been looking for one, but it's bad timing. Someone else please buy it before I do lol.

I'd probably buy the 3700 if it wasn't $50 shipping to Australia. Oh well.

Funny, I just saw those a few minutes ago.

Do I ever have a chance of snagging something awesome on eBay if you're always there first :p

I want more vintage keysets :D

Wow, that NWOB 1950 is excellent! If I recall correctly, they have NKRO and browns. Programmable, matrix, should be awesome for gaming, sweet tenkey-keycaps. All for $65 shipped? What's the "P" stand for? (What sort of keycaps are these?)

Buy this before I do, please.

I've also always sort-of wanted a 3700, but it's not for me.

P = pad printed

The 3700 may have limited programmable capabilities. (only top 4 keys are programmable, i.e. only supports mode 1 and does not support mode 4)

I heard that
1. G80-3700HQU models are mode 1 while G80-3700HQAUS have full blown mode 4 key pad.
2. mode1 pads are rated at 145mA while mode 4 pads are rated at 20mA.

I don't know how accurate the above information is, but some guidance is better than no guidance. As a matter of fact, the above guidance worked for me.

From the photo, I kind of doubt that it is HQAUS.
