Title: G80-1856HQMGB Just bought 3!
Post by: lam47 on Sat, 28 February 2009, 18:39:49

Found on an online shop here in the UK.
They had 3 left so I took them.

Correct me if I am wrong but these should be black cherry with dual injection moulded caps?
Also being a space saver is a plus as far as I am concerned.
I intend to give them to a couple of friends if nobody here is interested.

Good find... those are really nice looking boards!

I'd like to have one myself, except the ENTER key is wrong for me.

Here's a photo with one of the keycaps removed:

Not a lot and see above. They are black cherry switches.
They are pcb mounted so can be switched yes.
I plan to do one as a cherry brown board.

Hey ozar do you have any other pics?

One has gone already and they are not here yet!
Make sure to let me know if you are interested in one.

I hope they will turn up tomorrow and I will post some pictures then.

Laurie.
