I talked to Cherry, and a few cherry Distributors, and I've had no luck whatsoever getting a cherry Cherry G80-3000 with blue or brown switches.  :-/ Good luck.  :)

I don't know what country you're in but UK-based Cherry Keyboards 'R' Us have the clicky version of the G80-3000: http://www.cherrykeyboardsrus.co.uk/G803000+Series-Details.htm.

Which one is the Cherry G80-3484? It that the full sized G80 with brown switches and US layout?

Oh, yah, I talked to Allied.  I emailed 2-3 people and spoke to one on the phone.  The final person I was told to contact hasn't got back to me yet, which was 2-3 weeks ago.  This thread reminded me about it, so just emailed the person again. :)

Ok, guys, got the word back from Allied.

Problem is that the G80 line is MADE TO ORDER, 10 pieces minimum, 12 weeks to deliver. That's the reason these keyboard are so hard to find.

That is very strange. You have a product on your web site but you don't sell it unless the customer buys 10 units. Guess they're more interested in the corporate market. Cherry, I mean, not Allied.

Oh well...

10 is an improvement.  Another vendor I talked too would only order them 500 at a time. O_o
