Title: G81-3000SAG Keycaps (Cherry UK ISO dyesubs)
Post by: Photekq on Tue, 11 February 2014, 17:15:45

I received these keycaps yesterday. This is a set that I never thought I'd be able to acquire. I figured they deserved a gallery of their own since they're so rare & unique, and since there are barely any photos of them online. Note that they are a full UK ISO set, not an ANSI/DE ISO mix or anything - see the £ icon on the 3 key, and a few other differences in legends. The board isn't the original G81-3000SAG. It's a G80-1501HAD.

I tried to get the white balance as close as possibly to show the true colours of these keycaps, but it was pretty hard.
