Title: A nice G80-11900 on Ebay
Post by: Tactile on Sun, 02 August 2015, 09:24:32: This one is $34 & according to the number should have MX blacks & double-shot keycaps. It looks to be in pretty nice condition.

It's a great chance to experience the firmer Cherry MX Blacks for relatively little dough. The compact form factor is fun—it takes just a bit of adjustment remembering where the Delete key is. Its placement encourages you to make fewer mistakes, though. :?)

Here's another G80-11900 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-Keyboard-G80-11900LPMUS-Advanced-Performance-Line-Touchboard-G80-11900/261935605270) at the same price, from a different seller. It's white, not black, but it's in the original box. It's listed as "used", but there are no signs of use that I can see—and with white keys, it's usually pretty easy to spot grime. (At this price, I doubt the seller would've bothered to clean it.) They may be calling it "used" just because the box was open. Considering Cherrys' durability, even if this had been used a little, it'd be virtually new, mechanically.

This concludes this White Deal-Priced G80-11900-describing message. (BTW, I've just had some coffee. It's still a fine deal, though, even uncaffeinated.)

Guess me and others will have to get their consolation prize here:

The adrenaline rush when the seller uses UPS and you get a ransom call for a brokerage fee in exchange for your package. :eek:

Indeed—how do you spell "cash grab"?

Post by: ander on Wed, 05 August 2015, 04:10:34: And here's a NIB one for $68 shipped, in case anyone's interested. (I don't know what these normally go for, so I don't know how good a deal it is.)
