Title: Cherry G80 3000 LSCGB-0 on Ebay
Post by: junkboxt on Tue, 02 March 2010, 10:17:46

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140384991651&_trksid=p2759.l1259

i made a deal of 60pounds, including postage. not too bad- 10 pounds cheaper than keyboardco.com

However, the description is a little bit suspicious-

I remember that G80 3000 LSCGB-0 is supposed to have:

MX Technology, Blue switch, click action

but the description is saying

FTSC Technology, Linear action.
and, "Membrane contact switches with rubber-mat technology"

I sent an email to them regarding this- might get an answer by today :confused:

What do you guys think about this? a fraud? or simply a mistake?

Cherry G80 3000 LSCGB-0 is a keyboard with blue, clicky MX switches, lasered caps, UK layout, white case. The datasheet is from a G81-3000 linear "dead octopus" spring-on-membrane board.
