Title: [HELP] Cherry G80-0486 (low vintage switches)
Post by: 27.9.2016 on Mon, 04 June 2018, 12:09:31

Hello

I found old Cherry keyboard with low type switches. Does somebody know how much is this worth?
If this is not worth much I am planing to desolder switches and make custom plate and connect all together using Tennsy.
Any other ideas?

Looks like cherry M8 switches, I had an epson laptop that used them, as well as gorgeous brown keycaps like that. I do not think there are worth a ton as the caps arn't compatible with standard MX. I think they use a different pin layout too.
