Oh yea, the Cherry G80-5000.  Legendary board.  Because i used to have a Kinesis Freestyle, I had some experience with the split keyboard design.  But the G80-5000 with the Cherry browns is a different ballgame. 

However, after messing around on non-staggered columns for a few months now, the regular, old split staggered feels like an outdated concept.  I spoil myself.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

I thought it was rubber dome, but I removed the keycaps to discover it had some SMK Alps mount switches.

Does this mean those SMK switches can't be mounted on any other non-SMK Alps board?  My only issue would have to be page up/page down/home/end.  Normally you could Autohotkey the capslock with this functionality but it's out of the way on this board.

Are you able to say what model # yours is

EDIT:  Model# is A9M0330.  Made in Taiwan.  Some models are made in Japan.

I'm not sure if the switches can be mounted on another board.  I bet they can. I will check model # when I get home, but I know mine was made in Taiwan.

 
For home/end, I discovered that you use command+up/down for those actions.  On we pages and PDFs, I can use spacebar and spacebar+shift for page up/page down.  Maybe there is some combo of modifiers that can mimick page up/page down.

Your presence is now required at the next meet. We missed out on all your Cherry goodies.

I myself don't really write well, or a lot.  I appreciate it when other people do.
