So, as we know, Cherry has a few types of keycaps.

• Thick ABS doubleshots
• Thick PBT dyesubs
• Thick PBT lasered
• Thin PBT lasered
• Thick POM lasered/blank

I'm sure we're all familiar with the 1800 family of Cherry keyboards too. 1800s come with most of those keycap types, but nobody has ever found an 1800 with thick PBT dyesubs. Until now..

I've been speaking to another member here who owns one. He has said he will try to upload some pictures when he gets the chance.

So, they do exist after all! In my mind, this the most significant Cherry discovery that's happened recently. I had guessed that they didn't exist, since we have not seen one yet. I was wrong!

Model is G80-1800SQR. No records of it on any search engine, or on any of the forums Two-tone ANSI layout with red cyrillic.

And Cyrillic no less....assuming no Cherry product code shenanigans.

Nice, can't wait for pics.

Oooh... very nice! I can't wait.

Also, I should've said. It is completely dyesub. Even the 1800-specific keys. Not some frankenset..

Hope you'll post photos soon? Can't wait

the only caps that matter , well in that profile anyway, SPH in ABS is ok

until i can get my SPH PBT Dyesubs that is

Any advance on the pictures? This raises some interesting questions about the PBT 1.75u shift that nobody apparently has the molds for!

I really need to see pics of this

Cyrillic in 1800 layout and 1.75 pbt right shft? That's interesting.

any updates ?

Sooooo this probably never existed, right?

Said the cosmologist.

Deep, man. Deep.

No updates, but it definitely exists. It is a trusted source.

I've got a £3 in my wallet!


It is real, I will post photos soon.

I never use cash these days. So many fake coins over here! Everyone gives them out in change, but nobody accepts them!
