Model F style keyboard w/ cherry switches (g80-2100)
« on: Thu, 31 December 2015, 15:20:09 »
I got a great xmas gift - qty 2 IBM model F (style) keyboards with Vintage black Cherry MX switches.

Mfr - Key Source International
- it doesn't have a model number (probably their first model)

Damn.. Cherry G80-2100 with non-standard keycaps.

Can you please take pictures of the undersides of those keycaps?

Thanks for ID'ing it (g80-2100).
- It is not cherry branded (OEM - label on bottom says key source international). - ???

The keycaps are not factory - they are POS keycaps (alpha's are doubleshot, but rest are PBT ~ x24 relegendables are ivory DCS)

Definitely manufactured by Cherry, I guess for key source international.

The alphas will be factory. They definitely look like Cherry doubleshot. The modifiers look like Cherry profile too. Could you post pictures of the undersides of those PBT modifiers? Perhaps a 1u key and also the big enter key?

Thanks!

Some of those keycaps look exactly like the ones found on the G80-3055HAU :

The other ones kind of look like BSP?

Really weird caps. Did you get them bundled with these boards or separately?

These boards were customized by previous owner for POS environment - I got them as they appear.
