No way.  It's a G83 case on the picture and the title says "RS 6000",
which is another name for G83-6000.

At least they seem to be quite reliable and inexpensive, though I guess they've now been overtaken by the basic models from Logitech etc.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

In German offices, I usually see either Cherry G83s or Fujitsu Siemens SCs, which are both €15-20. The Fujitsus feel much better in every respect. Most notably, they don't have the terrible friction of cheap Cherries.
