Title: Cherry G81-3000SAT
Post by: Photekq on Thu, 02 April 2015, 04:51:56
These pictures aren't too great, as my two regular lighting setups struggled to properly light the beautiful blue side legends. I'll try and take some better pictures in the future, but wanted to share these for the time being. They really do not do those blue legends justice.

I've been actively searching for a G81-3004SAT (http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/index.php?_filter=search&mid=review&search_target=title_content&search_keyword=peacock&document_srl=3099079) for over a year now with no luck.

A while ago scottc @ DT found a few of these G81-3000SATs brand new in their boxes. Thanks to him I was able to successfully end my search! Also thanks to him a Cherry mystery has been solved.

Until he found those boards, the only known Cherry keyboard with Czech dyesubs was that Peacock branded G81-3004SAT. However, last year user danville (응삼) on otd.kr posted this photo. (http://i.imgur.com/AUr9g8A.png) I saw it and wondered which keyboard the keycaps came from. They looked very similar to the G81-3004SAT, although the Czech legends were a bit different, and there were extra legends on some of the alphas. I asked around a bit and it turned out the user found the keycaps on their own, with no keyboard. Nobody knew which keyboard they were from. They were known as 'Peacock special' keycaps.

Then scottc found these keyboards - the first G81-3000SATs to be found by an enthusiast. Mystery solved, thanks Scott ;)

Anyway, here are the pictures. The board is just a standard G81-3000 with black MY switches (this is the first time I've tried them NIB - they're actually quite nice!). The keycaps are thick PBT dye-sublimated. The side legends are also dye-sublimated.

I have two ages - F17 and F37. F17 has green 'Sys Rq', while F37 is black. Everything else is the same as far as I can tell.

If I used ISO I'd be crazy jelly of those legends.

Let's face it. I'm still pretty jelly of those legends.
