Thanks dudes. Recently I bought a G80-1800HAMGB new beige in ebay... Do you know if the keys is PBT?

ABS.

S is the magic letter.

S? where is S letter?

Rather than having an article number with HAMGB, a similar keyboard with dyesub PBT keycaps would have an article number ending with something like SAG

Never seen a 1800 with pbt dyesub caps tho. and yeah your 1800 is black cherry mx and doubleshot

The G80-1800HAMGB have only logo windows 98 or It is currently manufactured too and comes with Windows 7 logo. Does anyone know?

They already sold anyway
After the boards in the first batch sold for £15.50 each and in the second batch for £65.50 each,
one can reasonably expect a third batch with boards for £115.50 each.
And unreasonably buyers which will still bite

but why the g80-1800hamgb have windows 7 logo?

HAMGB:

wtf

They will have changed it from win98 to win7 over time. That model was produced throughout many years. It's no longer produced though - Cherry does not make doubleshot keyboards anymore, except some rubbish ones inside China.

I understood was a keyboard late 90s. It will not have been a mistake in the picture?

Probably Cherry had the gorgeous idea of always changing the Windows logo to match the actual Windows version.
You wouldn't have imagined that, eh?

By the way, the logo shown in your pic is not the Windows 7 logo.

in your link dude, is windows 7:

But is the keyboard is from 90s ... why the logo is the win7 logo? The actual g80-1800 references is this

The reference list you link shows only keyboards with lasered caps (first letter: L instead of H).

Given when win xp was released, I would hazard a guess that the keyboard wasn't produced in the nineties.

Sure, because it is the G80 that today are distributed. Cherry has no current Keyboards Doubleshot.

Edit: and if this keyboard g80-1800hamgb is actual... why is not listed in cherry website? and it is not on the market?It makes no sense make keyboard actual with DIN connector.

It started being manufactured in the 90s, but as I said.. it continued to be manufactured for many years. The ones on ebay, for example, are from 2003. Check this article : wiki/Cherry_date_codes

The P45 on the label means it was made during the 45th week of 2003.

As kbdfr says also, that isn't a win7 logo. It just looks pretty similar.

It isn't listed anywhere and it isn't on the market because it's no longer produced. It is discontinued, replaced by 1800s with lasered keycaps.

Its true, the logo is Windows xp (fuck, the logo is the same to W7 xD)... then, the g80-1800hamgb of photo is from 2001 more or less, right?

Or just, you know, made during the 45th week of 2003, like photekq wrote.

It is not the XP logo, but the logo used from Windows 3.1 to Windows Millenium:

Edit: now not sure whether you mean the older or the newer logo.

I'm trying my best to give all the info I can, but I'd appreciate it if you at least read what I write

I think he meant the logos on the eBay HAMGB are XP.

I think it's worth 30 euros more for this old keyboard made in 2003, no? The current G80-1800 lasered costs 80 € new, and is much uglier than the 2003 model HAMGB... Lasered keys are a shit. It is cleared within a few weeks of use. (I have experience with a current keyboard G80-3000 mx-clear)

Nobody in their right mind would pay 80 euro for a lasered G80-1800.

It's definitely worth at least 30EUR more than the new ones, as it's a fairly nice keyboard with the best keycaps available. That said, I don't think the new ones are worth anywhere near 80EUR.. They are junk

I do not know why, about a couple of years the German G80-3000 was about 60 euros ago, now it costs 80 € too.

Of course you can buy them from amazon for a lot of money, but:
