Cherry G81-8000's, $18.90 shipped [ENDED]
« on: Sun, 18 December 2016, 20:00:36 »
It doesn't say exactly what condition they're in, or even if they work, but the price is quite reasonable:

CHERRY BLACK - G81-8000xxxxx CHERRY G81-8000 Keyboard Black

$8.95 + 9.95 U.S. shipping; more than 10 available





Edit: Sorry, I thought these had Cherry MX switches, but they don't—they're Cherry MYs.

Despite the negative tone of that DT page I just linked to, some people like MY switches, and these examples are certainly cheap enough to try one, if you so decide. So let's not turn this thread into an MY-bashing session, shall we? Cheers!

FWIW some people like the PS/2 cable on these things, so that's another consideration.  I use my G81 boards as keycap holders.

What keycaps does it come with?

They are Lasered Keycaps.  You can tell by the appearance of the print screen, scroll lock and pause keys.

Part Number Reference:
L - Lasered
H - Double Shot
S - Dyesub
Freebird WKL (Blacks Clear-Tops), iKBC F-104 (Blacks) and more!

Thanks. Could they be POM?
