Does anyone know what cherry switch these use?
-
Rubber domes.
G81 = Scissors (If am not mistaken)
G83 = Rubber Domes (there's a brand name for these, but I am not sure what it is)
G84 = ML (mechanical short throw; these are OK)
G80 = MX
I might have G81 and G83 mixed up.

Actually I think it is:
G81 = FTSC (aka MY (http://www7.ocn.ne.jp/~hisao/image/g81hbu.htm)) - plunger-over-membrane
G83 = NTK system - membrane contact switches with rubber-mat technology

81 is actually mechanical, but it's a linear switch.
82 and 83 are rubber dome as far as I know
84 is mechanical low profile (ML switches)
85 is low profile and I'd imagine either rubber dome or scissor switch.
86 is rubber dome.
I think the G/J/M prefixes may be the intended market, or perhaps refer to the chassis availible.

I just bought one. For six bucks shipped, you can't go wrong.
