Title: Cherry G81-8000LPDUS-2 for $62.24
Post by: SamirD on Thu, 05 November 2015, 22:22:46

I ran across this by accident.  Not a bad price depending on which switches it has.  It's usually a $150+ board though:

$60 for lasered ABS caps and MY switches? Um....I don't think that's a very good price. I've come across G81-8000HXXXX for $20-40 and harvested WoB doubleshots off em.

Yeah, like I said, I didn't know which switches were in it.

here is a nice little informative section to follow on cherry article numbers so you can tell what the switches are based on the G8x cherry boards:

Thank you!  This is definitely much better than Cherry's website.  There's almost no mention of the red switch even when looking at just switches!
