Title: G8x-1800
Post by: JonasDK on Fri, 24 July 2015, 11:56:37
Is anyone able to determine if this is a MY or MX board? Seller doesn't bother to take a picture of the backside as he has packed it away, but I can get it for fairly cheap (Around 15 USD shipped). I only want it incase it's a MX board, but if it's MY and someone wants it for the caps or case, I'll happily proxy for free.

Hard to tell for me too, but in any case, the keycaps look like they are PBT or POM so for $15, why not?

Would really be helpful if we could see the back. Hard to guess either way. It's probably lasered POM though at that price. Won't be PBT. Doubtful it's doubleshot ABS but like I said it's really hard to tell.

More likely to be doubleshot ABS if they are black and 1.5 wide. Black 1.5 wide modifiers are not that common. For $15 shipped why have you not bought it already? Do it!

Is the seller located in Denmark? If you don't wanna buy it, I might take the chance :)

I actually called the seller, he told me he wasn't home and wouldn't be until monday, but would get back to me when he does. If it turns out to be a MY board I'll probably just resell it cheaply.

The ^6 key hints that it's doubleshot ABS.  Also, it looks like F+J are scoops, so, I'm guessing doubleshot ABS over POM.

What about the ^6 key makes you think doubleshot? Just curious.

I can tell from the legend that it's doubleshot ABS, now it comes down to the price, even if it's a G81, still worth it for the WoB keycaps and the 1.5x mods

It's definitely a doubleshots model. I don't see any shiny silver color between keys, so I also will guess its a G80.
