Not really a great find, but... it's certainly something.

These are doubleshots, right? (I'm cherry model number semi-illiterate--does the H in the model number indicate doubleshots?)

Yes, it should have doubleshots.

Good find especially that huge ENTER key next to the numpad area  :thumb: .

Are these rare? Because $200 just for a slightly abnormal cherry board with doubleshots seems a bit expensive...

Whoa didn't see that at first. Does anybody know what kind of stab that has?

I'm not sure, but I have a feeling it just has normal switches underneath. Some may be without springs though.

Are you guys sure about the double shots? How can you tell? I had one almost identical to that with clears and lasered PBTs and got it for ~$35. Sold it for the same price too.

Areyou sure it wasnt a G80-8113? Those are very common.

You can tell pretty easily that it's not lasered PBT. I dont know of any cherry dyesub POS boards, so it's most likely doubleshot

Anotehr oddity: uses M8 (I think) for the click buttons. The pink stems are aftermarket, but here's a picture from kbdmania

I'm thinking of throwing the seller an offer.  Any ideas of how much it'd be worth?

That's a given I think.

On taobao these go for around 530ish RMB for a used one, so I'll probably start there.

remember: you can only offer 3 times I think.

Yep, then you're stuck with paying the full price, that's if you really want it  8) .

I had one of these once. That big 2x2 enter key have 1 switch in center and 1 stabilizer mounted vertically. The keycap itself does have mounts as well for a 4x switch POS style. On mine the new line and right shift were 2 switch caps.
Price is high... but it is new old stock, has fulltouch caps lock and 1.25 alts in black/beige, all double shot except the huge enter, new line and relegendables obviously. Also this model should have clear switch. It is partially programmable too, but it is a huge pita as the old cherryconf under DOS is required. It uses low profile M8 switch for the trackpad buttons which was another interesting thing. I think maybe something like $130-150 might be more reasonable.
