[eBay] Cherry G81-3081SAU - ANSI dyesubs in very good condition

This isn't one we see too often. A set of original Cherry ANSI dyesubs in very good condition. Judging from the photos I'd say that the keyboard is barely used, if at all. All the texture is still there. The legend placement is very good too.

I think the BIN might be a bit too much, but the starting bid is certainly very reasonable. If I were in the market for a set I'd certainly expect to be paying near $400-500 for a set in this condition.

Interested to see how much this goes for anyway. I'm sure there will be lots of people here interested in this. If someone here ends up winning it : Congratulations. You now own the best MX keyset in the world ;D

Reading it again, it does look like this :-[

I'm not though, I promise! I'm just giving my assessment of the condition, which I thought would be valuable to some :)

Is the board itself of high quality, or is this all for the key-caps mainly?

G81 usually means MY switches, so yeah for key caps mainly

The listing does say MY switches.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Well, you could buy the board, and put Leeku MX3000 PCB to it, to make it almost brand new, programmable G80-30xx keyboard  :thumb: :thumb:

313USD, actually a tiny bit lower than expected. Congrats to whoever got it, it's a beautiful set
