Title: G80-3000 spacesaver mod
Post by: dw_junon on Fri, 29 February 2008, 13:54:21

Google translation from Japanese (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhomepage2.nifty.com%2Fsskicr%2Fremodel%2Fg80-3000.html&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8) - original site (http://homepage2.nifty.com/sskicr/remodel/g80-3000.html)

I was impressed, anyway.  Could imagine buying one if Cherry offered it.

I'd like to do that with all my keyboards.  Here's another one. (http://tlb.org/keyboardchop.html)

What would you call that - the Apple Un-Extended Keyboard?

Very interesting Pics.

Actually we Taiwan people now are engaged in these kinda of keyboards.

I mean some of us keboards fans try to cut almost every keyboard they got into this form.

We call it " 80 %  keyboard"

It means we directly cut the right part of those number keys and only use the rest part of it.

You may see those links:

(Sorry in Chinese but you guys could still see those pics)


Actually we also discuess this idea with the SM factory. Maybe one day we could see this kinda of keyboard on sale.

Plus, we also suggest Topre to produce this kinda of Realforce keyboardsm and they reply if they could SELL "500 Realforce 103" in Taiwan per year, they will think about it.


Have fun!

It's that lovely KBTalking keyboard with its faux-HHK2 lettering.  And it's been dismembered ;_;.  I guess the only way to get my hands on one of these would be a return ticket to Taipei - damn.

Here's a translation of that page:
