All orders shipped besides bunnylake which will ship soonish. I believe everyone CONUS (except the 2 shipped today) has received their number pads and the other internationals are on the way. (8-28-14)
Right now I'm going with $37 (conus orders) shipped USPS Priority (that's shipping the original box in a bubble mailer USPS Priority) including paypal fee.
For those who aren't familiar with the G80-3700 this you can read up on it here http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_G80-3700 (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_G80-3700)

Shipping
For CONUS orders will be shipped USPS Priority.
What works best for me is shipping these in the original box inside a large bubble mailer. IF you have an issues with this please PM me.
International shipping will be priced individually and we can work that out, I have shipped all around the world and not had any issues.
Disclaimers
This is from an ebay seller who seems to be on the up and up and is willing to work with us but it is ebay so YMMV.
One thing I want to point out is I am not sure if these support mode 4 programming if that is what you are after all I can say is YMMV.
My responsibility ends when I ship it, I can't control what USPS does.
I'm attempting to do this as cheaply as possible so everyone gets a good deal but I'm also trying to make sure I cover the expenses and any unexpected costs.
-
I'd go in on this for 1 keypad if someone was interested in doing a buy for all 5 in order to get the discount.
-
I'd go in on this for 1 keypad if someone was interested in doing a buy for all 6 in order to get the discount.
If I'm reading it right, only 5 are needed for the best discount. That would work out to $30/ea plus 2nd shipping ($10-ish?)
I'd take one at that cost, sure. Does anybody know what switch they used? Haven't hit up any wikis yet ...

To add to that they are also pcb mount so all easily swappable minus the num lock which should have an LED.

I'd be willing to try one at $30.

I'd be down for another for $30.
Seller seems to imply that he wants to do it off ebay to save on fees for larger order negotiation.
~~~I actually happened to have bought one from the seller earlier last week after I offered him $40 when he was asking for $75 shipped. It is arriving today by UPS if anybody wants pics and deets on what is received.
-
I am interested

That throws up a bunch of red flags for me. Off eBay transactions for listings you see on the site are a big no-no.

If you do it through Paypal as goods then you will not have any problems.

I asked about getting 10 units, seller told me to make an offer and he would setup an auction just for it.
Also seller is going to double check his stock to make sure all items are the same.
I guess if people are interested we can work something out and I can distribute...

You float all the loans, SpamArray!
(still in; watching thread.)

I ordered two of these from the seller last week. At that time he had "or best offer".
The first one he sent me had a tiny mark under the Esc key. So when I told him he sent me two more and told me to keep the first one.
He apparently has a ton of them. So he might eventually put the "or best offer" option back up.
-
I just received mine. NIB & perfect.
~~I would definitely would like in on that mini-group buy for another!~~
The keycaps are doubleshots.

I just ordered some from Feng thinking they would be the correct size, but the ones he is selling is a little bigger.
Here is the one I got from Feng

I will ask around and post in here if I find out where to get them.

The seller has the 5 listed (was 6 someone bought one :facepalm:) and he says he thinks he has more but can't check until Monday.
One thing I want to point out is I am not sure if these support mode 4 programming if that is what you are after all I can say is YMMV.
If those who already received one can weight in I would appreciate it but that still won't guarantee anything about the remaining stock.

Hey!
I've been a lurker for a few weeks, but I guess it's my time to be useful!
I actually bought one of these from this guy about two weeks ago, in his last ebay auction. They support Mode 4.
He actually has the model number on the headline wrong, but the model number in the photo correct. These are actually the G80-3700HQAUS-0 models, and he's missing the Q, and that's the difference between mode 4 and not mode 4.
Bonus: Pic!

^^ thanks for sharing the info.

You know what, I think I'd be down for another one of these, if the price was low enough.
You can tentatively put me down for the mini-buy.

Will be my 3rd. I sold one of my other ones to my brother, and one of my buddies wants to buy one as well. So when all is said in done I will probably end up with two.

All of the ones I got are all white keyed versions. I didn't even know he had the two toned.

I'd be in for a G80-3700HQAUS /06 or G80-3700HQAUS-0 /02, G80-3700HQAUS /06 being preferred

Sent a mass PM out.

I'll catch up the OP with information from PM's and start invoicing tomorrow.
I'm really hoping to hear the seller has more units tomorrow.
Thanks for the quick responses to those who have PM'd me so far.
-
I'm just going to take the caps off, so I'll go with an all-white one.
Also, have we talked to the ebay guy about if he would drop ship?

I sent you a PM earlier if you could reply that'd be great.
And the only reason these are cheaper than buying them from the ebay seller directly is because he can rid himself of multiples of them at once so he isn't interested in giving us a discount if sending them all out individually.
That defeats the purpose of a group buy.

In for one of these if still available. :thumb:

Sure, sorry, there were a few PMs from a few people.
Look, it was just an idea. Sometimes "selling 20 at a clip" merits a discount in and of itself, even if it means shipping 20 boxes. Remember, you'll be paying to reship everything, and that's a potential place to save on the cost.
He might be willing to split the difference and take say $30 from you on each unit and ship them out himself. This isn't like a MOQ situation, it's a guy running an ebay shop who ships things all over.
Look, I still think this is a good idea to do a group buy, but right now paypal is getting paid twice and the US Postal Service is getting paid twice. And you have to handle invoices and chasing people around.
Might this just be easier on you if you pointed out to the guy that if he dropped his Buy It Now price to $33, he'd sell 25 in a day?

Yes it would have been easier if the guy would have sold these cheaper to start with but he wanted $50 when we started this and only offered a discount for buying multiple units, hence the entire reason for a group buy.
The seller doesn't drop ship, he made that clear to begin with. He hadn't even advertised the two tone keypads and had planned on selling them for $75 but it is easier for him if we just buy all of them so he can ship one box and be done with it.
I'm trying to do the community a favor by fronting the money so we can get these units secured for us and then redistribute them.
-
I'm sorry but I'd like to cancel my order slot, thanks Spam for doing this but I have some problem now :D
-
I'm going to pull out of the group buy also, have some more necessary things I need to take care of that came up.

Invoices will start going out soon.

I need to hear from people who may be interested in additional white cap units. Most everyone wants two tone and I'm hoping we can get more.
Will update more when I can.

Regardless, thanks for organizing it, Ray! :thumb:

Seller went back on the agreement we had and sold all of these together, he offered them to me for $500 so I'm assuming that's the deal someone got in case these show up later.
-
Just so everyone is clear the original 15 units are on their way to me now and will be turned around within a day or two of me getting them.
Also if shipping comes out cheaper than I expected I will issue a small refund for the difference.
-
Hello, looks like I missed out.
Any way to get these, do you have more?
-
Hello, looks like I missed out.

No sorry we were only able to secure 15 units and they have all been spoken for. But someone just bought 32 more off ebay for probably ~$15 each so I would say they will show up at some point for sale.
-
someone just bought 32 more off ebay
That would be me.
I would say they will show up at some point for sale.
I'm going to test what I get from the guy before I list anything to see 1) if everything works and 2) to check what models support mode 4.

I hope you will let me take one of them off your hands. Always wanted a numpad to go with my tenkeyless.
Edit: What exactly is mode 4?

How much did you pay for that?
The seller agreed with my friend to sell all 32 for $450, but before he make the offer, the seller accepted your offer.

Well how interesting because I had a deal to buy as many units as I wanted but then the ebay seller changed his mind all of a sudden.

So you were the guy that screwed up SpAmRaY making the GB bigger. Good job on that.

No way i'll buy one of those from someone else

No way i'll buy one of those from someone else
To be clear, SpAmRaY and I have been PMing each other about this (see where we had a thing above? I said I was sorry and we've been chatting since then). It wasn't a surprise to him that I scooped them up once the ebay guy started getting external offers.
I've got some concerns about if the seller was was just cherry picking (har har!) through the lot as he was selling them before, which is why I'm not just relisting these now. They'll be unboxed, tested, and documented. Once I figure out what I have, they'll get sold.
Best case scenario I'll have 32 really nice fully programmable keypads. Worst case, I'll have a pile of very expensive double-shot numberpad keycaps. Odds are it's somewhere between the two.

Yes to be clear kalrand has done nothing wrong at all. I shared with him some info about the ebay seller and he took the risk I wasn't willing to take in buying this second lot.
My problem was with the ebay seller and whoever caused my agreement to fall through with him.
-
That's ok then
-
Thanks for clearing that up, guys. I thought you were engaged in a bidding war with eachother, which just didn't seem efficient. :-X I understand though. :thumb:
-
Interested in this if the pads come out well and have a working mode 4.
-
Best case scenario I'll have 32 really nice fully programmable keypads.
It won't be anything other than this, unless the seller has been swapping the labels/boxes on 3700HAUs :p
-
Thanks for clearing that up, guys. I thought you were engaged in a bidding war with eachother, which just didn't seem efficient. :-X I understand though. :thumb:
In summary I had an gentleman's agreement with the ebay seller that I was buying 15 units (these are bought and on the way to me as per the OP) and when he counted up what he had left I could buy whatever additional units I wanted at the same price as the first set, before anyone else.
Well when I contacted the seller yesterday evening he tells me about all these additional units, including how some boxes were damaged, some had red 'x's on them etc and then asks me to send him $500 over paypal, he didn't offer to do an ebay auction etc, all the while telling me he now had other interested parties and the first to pay him got the lot. I countered reminding him of our agreement and also asking for specific units at the previous price and never got a response.
Then this morning I saw the auction was running and posted here about it and was also pm'ing with kalrand who ended up purchasing the lot.
-
Best case scenario I'll have 32 really nice fully programmable keypads.
It won't be anything other than this, unless the seller has been swapping the labels/boxes on 3700HAUs :p
The seller put a really odd clause in the terms of that last auction. He'd only guarantee 75% of the units were working, and even then would only pay back a percentage of the cost of all the broken ones past that, and even then, only if all 25%+ units were returned. Some boxes are damaged, and others even have big red Xs written on them. Not really promising signs.
Also, while I know the particular model I bought before does Mode 4, he listed a number of slightly different model numbers. From my research, Cherry was a bit odd in which exact models did mode 4, and which ones didn't work without another keyboard plugged into the input socket.
I'm not going to sell something unknown to people, so I'll be guaranteeing the QC on whatever comes out of this.
Besides, this is probably the only community in the world where "Totally Broken Keypad. Has Rust. And Spiders. YMMV" will still get someone who wants to harvest the switches or case or whatnot and so even totally broken ones won't be a total loss.

Thanks for doing this SpAmRaY :thumb:

[attachimg=1]
Will try and get these out ASAP :thumb:

The seller agreed with my friend to sell all 32 for $450, but before he make the offer, the seller accepted your offer.
So you were the guy that screwed up SpAmRaY making the GB bigger. Good job on that.
Firstly, that was my friend, he got 5 keypad from this guy like two weeks ago and he decided to ask to to buy all out, I think the conversation started before SpAmRaY start the GB.
Secondly, Those 75% of the units were working things were part of the deal from my friend to the seller, which already made an agreement with him the night before, then the seller decided to put it up on ebay and let my friend purchase it, for some reason he made it auto approve instead of approve it manually for $450, then you got it before my friend.
It's still not a bad price I think for what you get, my friend was buying it for his accounting team to use. I told him any leftover I would like to take it and maybe sell it here for a fair price.
$14 a piece and with shipping and pp fee will keep those 32 keypads below $25 shipped. Which I think at least most people here in this groupbuy will be happy. Except my friend :))
-
^^ Well that doesn't match at all with any of the communication I have had with the seller.
The seller is playing games here.
For the record the eBay seller seems to keep finding more of these.
I contacted everyone else who showed interest already by pm.
I suppose I have potentially wasted money if no one else is going to be interested due to other units appearing.

From the OP it looks like all but two people have paid.
Did you get more then the 15 you mentioned?

Yes I thought it was clear I bought a few additional units to try and cover everyone interested that hadn't paid yet.
And two of the 15 units I was holding waiting for payment.
Assuming I can sell all of these I will also be issuing a small refund to everyone. (This may or may not apply to international orders since shipping is obviously more but should still offset the cost a few dollars in their favor.)

I'm sure some of the people that showed interest will come through. If not it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of them :)
-
I'm here waiting to snatch one of them, just let me know if you want me to take over an unpaid order :)
I do want white/grey though, not just all white.

I might be wrong, but I think the extra keypads are the all white ones.

Sent some PM's with tracking info out will send more out tomorrow. Also to those who showed interest and have not pm'd me please do so. Thanks.
-
Good job Spama, you da man.
-
Just as an update to my little leg of this transaction...
I have two boxes incoming for Monday, so I'll know more then about what I ended up getting.

I have a box schedule for delivery Monday as well. :thumb:
Also tracking hasn't updated yet, should update ~2pm CST but 6 more units went out today.

And the ebay guy has another 40 listed.... amazing.

Wow he just got done telling me the other day he was out of 2 tone pads....
Start making really low offers I'd say it is set to autoaccept, IF I was guessing I'd say either $350 or $400 would take the lot :))
That must be for the 'other' guy. ::)
-
Just for clarity, you have extras that are not spoken for that do have the macro mode? If so I'll PM you for one.
Thanks!

You can PM me and I can put you on the wait list. I can not guarantee you a spot yet.

I'd doubt it was another geek hack person. What's he going to do? Get into a price war with me? That'd be just stupid.
-
All paid CONUS orders should be on the way and tracking info has been sent via PM.
-
Got my tracking notification :)
Thanks again SpAmRay.
-
Mine just came in and it had something extra in the box, thank you SpAmRaY.

Hi SpAmRay, just PM you and please add me to your interested list.
-
All shipped items should be delivered today!! (Only CONUS orders have shipped so far.)
I'll inspect the additional units tonight and go through the list and contact the people who have shown interest so be looking for some PM's tonight if you've PM'd me.
-
Got mine! Thanks!
-
Looks like my 32 keypads landed today.
I'll be doing some testing tonight.
-
Testing my additional pads now.

Testing my additional pads now.
All pads check out and are working and mode 4. Sent out some pm's and will be sending out some more.

Just sent you a PM. I'm interested in purchasing one of these off your hands

Amidst much craziness (UPS, mail, two contractors, and a horse training session) I was able to unpack my number pad. I honestly didn't expect the case to be so bulky. It's nice, but I probably won't be able to use it at work as I'd hoped since my desk is already crowded.
Still, it's here, and I want to thank SpAmRay for facilitating this mini-GB.

I didn't get a chance to check all of them last night, but I prioritized all the ones that had red X's or bad boxes, and so far everything has come up aces!
So once SpamRay sells out of his pile, I'm going to set up a thread in the classifieds.

Good to hear you didn't get burnt on that deal! I'll let you know when I'm out.

Sorry it's too big for your desk, I added some nice pictures to the OP to better illustrate the size.
Also sending out some invoices and waiting to hear back on some PM's.
-
Got my keypad today, and it looks great :thumb:
Thanks again SpAmRaY for doing this.
-
Sweet, can't wait to get mine.
Thanks for organizing Ray!
-
Received in perfect working condition. Thanks again, Spamray.

Almost done here just waiting on a few pm's to be replied to.

Did anyone receive a wobbly numpad? Mine is a little uneven on the bottom.

Did anyone receive a wobbly numpad? Mine is a little uneven on the bottom.
I didn't get one from this buy but I bought one a few months ago. It was wobbly as well. I stumbled on a fix that worked for me but your results may vary.
I tried flexing it a bit to see if I could get it to adjust. I held it by two opposite corners and flexed it down. After a little pressure I heard a pop like something snapped into place and then it wobbled on the opposite corners. So I repeated the process on those corners and I heard another pop. After that it was nice and flat.
Try at your own risk. It's possible may have broken something. But it fixed the wobbling problem for me.

Wow. I just tried it with one of mine, and it worked. Thanks for the suggestion :thumb:
-
For the record I didn't actually take these out of the box or plastic, I just plugged them in and made sure everything registered and mode 4 activated.
Not sure how common them not sitting flat is. Good to know it seems fixable in some cases anyways.
Four more going out in the morning and that should about wrap it up except for the 2 on hold and sir bunny's pad which will get to him eventually :P

Yeah can't wait to get mine. Thanks for doing this group buy. :thumb:
-
Can't wait either. So many things coming =)
-
I would like a two tone if either of you guys have one available. Otherwise I would be fine with a white one. :)
-
All of my units minus 2 I'm holding and one for bunnylake are out in the wild. All CONUS orders show delivered based on USPS tracking and the other international orders have departed for their final destinations.
If anyone has any trouble programming or switching modes etc you can read all about it here http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_G80-3700 or PM me and I can try to explain it as well. One other note is depending on ps2 adapter etc I can't guarantee you will get the same results, I used the ID Innovations adapter.
-
Just an FYI, the way mine worked was to plug a USB-PS2 adapter to the top of the keypad, and then connect my Filco (which was provided with said adapter). My RACE S wouldn't communicate through the PS2 adapter, even though it works on my computer with said adapter.
-
I finally figured you had to use a PS/2 device at the far end of the keypad -- reprogrammed one of the relegendables, played my game with an easy to reach pause key; but now none of the keys seem to work.
I'm going to fiddle with it this week. Maybe a cable got kicked loose (though the numlock light toggles but only in sync with the main keyboard's numlock light) or maybe once you reprogram it the thing needs a keyboard left in to keep it company...? Too, on my setup I've got a BTL-80 linear scanner sitting between the computer and the keypad -- although it worked when there was no programming involved.
So my next step may just be to wipe to factory state and see if that changes the rest of the keypad's behavior. </shrug>
-
After I programmed my keys with my filco, I was able to detach it and use my Race S in USB with the keypad in PS2 on my computer. Everything works as desired.
Are you in mode 4? Mode 4 has no keys working unless you program them.

Anyone interested in a plate for these? See here -> http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62242.0

Technically what I want is a plate for my GHpad as produced by AbuStudios (maybe I'll edit this with correct spelling when I have a minute) but I might be interested, yes.
Oh, and JimDesu: Yes, I must have put it in Mode4 and not realized what I'd done. Rereading the wiki page, and deliberately setting the unit to Mode1 brought back my ESC and arrow keys so helpful for manipulating the grub boot menu without sliding out the keyboard tray.
-
Well mine is lost in the mail. Canada post tracking says delivered, i didn't get it. Damn
-
Hey Ray, will there be another mini-gb? I'd really like a 2tone.

Hello friends, thanks to Kalrand, I was finally able to acquire one of these for myself :)
I have two main issues, hopefully someone more knowledgeable could help:
I've read and realized that the Deskthority states the numpad cannot work in standalone mode without a keyboard connected to the numpad.
Have people found a way to make the numpad still work without the main keyboard plugged into it?
Another problem is that some of my computers do not have PS/2 connectors. I've tested the numpad using a native PS/2 connector in the motherboard, and it works great (still not sure how programming works but I'll get to that later).
My main computers do not have PS/2 connectors, so if I were to use an ordinary PS/2 to USB plug (read: plug, not the cube converter that has circuitry built in) to try to connect to the computer, it does not work.
Would getting the cube PS/2 connector work? What are my options for getting this numpad to work via USB?
Right now I have it connected:
Filco TKL (USB->PS/2) -> G80-3700 (PS/2 -> USB) -> USB Port on back of motherboard.
Being able to use the numpad standalone is not the biggest issue, but would love to get it working with USB!
Forgive me for my newbieness, hope someone can help :)

These keypads totally work without a keyboard attached to them, they just need an active PS/2->USB converter to connect to a USB port. You can't use one of the simple adapters that are usually free on a cheaper keyboard.
The blue cubes really are the best price/performance for something like this.

I will try out one of these http://sewelldirect.com/Active-USB-to-PS2-Adapter.asp
Hopefully it will work in standalone mode!

Wow, that's one clean looking converter. Is it Active? That's crazy if they managed to fit the circuitry in there somehow.

Yes it is active. Works fine on my model m, g80-3700, and an old compaq keyboard
