Another big Cherry find today; 36 PoS boards, specifically G81-3000 LUVGB's and LPBGB's. All but two are black, and most of them are made out of thick, laser-infilled non-ABS plastic (I presume it's POM). Three however are doubleshots (HPBGB-2's). As with the previous find, none of them still have their cables (goddammit!) and many of them were in a big bag in which there were also several extremely rusty items so many have orange spots on them. The vast majority are missing at least one keycap.
I can't find much about these tbh, I keep getting pages about just the normal G81-3000. Anyone know more about these? The caps are really nice. Both the laser-infilled ones and the doubleshots are really thick :D .

G81 has MY switches but have nice caps.
H is double shot ABS.
L means if the caps are black, it's lasered POM. If the caps are white, they're lasered PBT.

Yeah, I was thinking these would be best for their caps, to which I'll probably be reducing most of them. The white ones are lasered PBT for sure, it would make sense the black ones are POM (they feel quite slick).
