This isn't one we see too often. A set of original Cherry ANSI dyesubs in very good condition. Judging from the photos I'd say that the keyboard is barely used, if at all. All the texture is still there. The legend placement is very good too.

I think the BIN might be a bit too much, but the starting bid is certainly very reasonable. If I were in the market for a set I'd certainly expect to be paying near $400-500 for a set in this condition.

Interested to see how much this goes for anyway. I'm sure there will be lots of people here interested in this. If someone here ends up winning it : Congratulations. You now own the best MX keyset in the world ;D

It really seems like you are selling this keyboard based on the description  :-*

Reading it again, it does look like this :-[

I'm not though, I promise! I'm just giving my assessment of the condition, which I thought would be valuable to some :)

Is the board itself of high quality, or is this all for the key-caps mainly?

G81 usually means MY switches, so yeah for key caps mainly

Ah.. I see. I wonder what would be an ideal board for these caps to go onto?

Well, you could buy the board, and put Leeku MX3000 PCB to it, to make it almost brand new, programmable G80-30xx keyboard  :thumb: :thumb:

313USD, actually a tiny bit lower than expected. Congrats to whoever got it, it's a beautiful set
