are those keys g80-3000 compatible?
I just re-read the articles on cherry history. It seems like the
g81 shared the same case with the g80, so it doesn't neccessarily need
to have MX switches. The article also mentions key incompatibilties:

| Keycap compatibility between G80 and G81 is limited:
|
| The old 102-key sets appear to be pretty much
| interchangeable. However, it may happen that the original caps
| click into place in a way that G81 ones won't, in return the G80
| ones will be pretty tight - possibly they "get used to" their
| switches over time. The G81s with new-style 3000 case (ca. 1998
| onwards) introduced a number of changes, especially with the
| stabilized keys, but also the others on the bottom row (which are
| in part attached off-center while that is not the case on a G80,
| at least a Czech-made one).

| Cases
|
| In general, cases have always been the same in G80 and G81 models from the same factory. In particular, they should be interchangeable between:
| * G80-1000 and G81-1000
| * 101/102-key G80-3000, G81-3000 (old-style case) and G83-3000
| * 104/105-key G80-3000 (old-style case or Czech-made) and G81-3000 (old-style case until ~1997)
| * 104/105-key G80-3000 (new-style case from German factory) and G81-3000 (new-style case)
