NIB. Ships to Germany only. Funky-looking board based on a modified 3000 series case, seemingly the first with integrated mousing functions or somesuch. DIN + serial connectors. Would guess early/mid '90s. Mostly novelty value - not sure whether I'd want to use it on a regular basis.

It's a real shame. The guy seems to be bidding on lots of keyboards, but as far as I know, he doesn't publish anything about them. The G80-3500 would have been really nice to dissemble and take a close look at.

I didn't think they'd go that high. Obviously there are some collectors out there. I'll stick to 1€ specials for the time being... ;)

Wow, these really went for much.  I placed a couple Euros for one.

Got one that was never used, yeah. Not really NIB, but the keycaps don't have any signs of usage. It feels like a regular PCB mounted black switch 'board with double-shots. Nothnig exciting here.

The sticker says it is a G80-3500HAU-0E, which should have a US layout, but this one has a german one. The 'pointing pad' is realy groovie when used in the arrow keys mode. The mouse mode needs a RS232 connection (I guess) which I currently do not have, but can be arranged. But I'm still not sure it will work.
