Double shot doners G81
« on: Sun, 29 August 2010, 16:18:57 »
A G81-7910HPBUS-2 with black double shots, NIB.
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-CHERRY-Keyboard-Credit-Card-Reader-G81-7910HPBUS-2-/190396145468?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c547e9f3c
$50 shipped

Same, but 10+ available
http://cgi.ebay.com/Cherry-Keyboard-Credit-Card-Reader-MY-7000-Black-NEW-/120538753526?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c10ab69f6
$51 shipped

Lot of 13 G81 boards, gotta be at least a couple double shot models in there.
--Don't bid--

EDIT: Probably going to pick up on that lot of 13, once I hear back from the seller on if they're all double shots. If they are then I'll be buying the lot and then selling sets of doubleshot keycaps for $15 each. If you happen on the auction please do not bid as it'll make it more expensive for everyone.

Are those MY key caps interchangeable with MX switches?

Yup. Switches are crap, but the keycaps are lovely double-shot, MX-compatible goodness.

Whether they're double shot? The 'H' in the model code for one, and the way that 'Break' and 'SysRq' is printed on the front of the double shot keys instead of the top. (That's not a foolproof way to tell on all boards, but it is for 7000s, 1800s and many other Cherry own brand boards).

Ooh, lying seller is a liar.

Third link the keyboards are clearly not USB (see picture lol) but are marked as such in at least two places.  I suppose anyone buying these will know better though.

Also, doubleshots look much much more clear as the contrast between the black key and white letters(or other way around) is much greater than that of lasered or otherwise keys

And yeah, third auction looks like mostly doubleshots using Soarer's method, great deal if it doesn't go up a whole lot with time(which it probably won't lol, everyone hates MY switches but me)

Unfortunately, the modifiers are single space instead of 1.5 space size, so they won't really look right on a 'standard' keyboard.

I've sent him a couple questions. If those are double shots I might buy them, and I'll ask y'all to not bid. I want a couple sets of double shots for my own projects, but the rest I'd sell on here for cheap (say $15 shipped for a set of caps, $30 shipped for a whole keyboard). Sound good? I found the auction, so I get dibs. ;)

Assuming those are all double shots, of course.

Let's check there's plenty of doubleshots there first!
And then we're still hoping noone else bids...

If a couple people preorder I can go a bit above $70, but if it gets too high I'll have to charge more for those keycaps.
