Cherry MX8100 - Nkey Brown Cherry
« on: Sat, 12 June 2010, 12:44:42 »
Considering there were two lots $15 BIN + $8 shipping (although those were blacks, but they had doubleshots) and there are $49.99 used with lasered browns - definitely offer low.  I guess switches are worth slightly more than keys, if that is what one is after cannibalizing, though.

Like Gump's box of chocolates ya never know what you'll get with a Cherry POS keyboard.  This one IS N-key and Cherry brown it looks like to me.

Not sure.  I don't know the Cherry code system very well.  So I tend to go by the captain crunch decoder ring info posted here.

The label on the ebay page says "G80-8113LRCUS-2 / 02" and on the Wiki "Cherry switches and boards", under exceptions, says:

"Cherry G80-8113LRCUS (Beige MX8100): Lasered Keys, White or Clear switches (non-clicky, tactile, stiffer than browns), 120 Keys Layout with Touchpad, PS/2, serial plug for barcode scanner".

I'll save Chloe from reputation damage, but 8113/8100 boards and white/clear switches ain't in my collection or knowledge.

Racist...  switches is switches, man.

Well, brown black or white, they're mine now, I don't discriminate.

Got em for $30 too!

I'm interested to see what kind of condition the switches are in, the listing doesn't look too promising....

They'll probably just end up in my first cannibalization project.
I\'m selling all my Shizz! Please buy it!
