Cherry G80 KC104B keysets out of China
« on: Sat, 12 October 2013, 12:46:11 »
I've recently come across many of these sets being posted on Chinese sites and a few on Ebay more recently, and have been wondering if these are legitimate sets from Cherry Corp. or cheap clones? (is there a way to tell?)

I haven't seen much being said about these sets (G80 KC104B search didn't bring anything up here either which was surprising), but seeing them had me curious since some of the listed prices are about the same or cheaper then those listed for used boards on Ebay.

They're made by Cherry, but they're low quality, unlike Cherry's old doubleshot/dyesub keys.

Bah, garbage. Guess it's back to scouring Ebay now and then for good deals, new to the Tennessee (Cleveland) area so haven't found much around town yet.

Thanks for the quick reply.

They are fine quality. Same keycaps as on current production models just with a more 'modern' font. Sure they are lasered, but they are still the best lasered caps around.
