Model: Cherry G80-8113LRAUS-2
Got it on Ebay for about $42 shipped.
Haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet, didn't realize my stupid PC doesn't have PS/2. I'll grab an adapter later and try it out.
Well, it's a little bit of a fixer upper...
The key above escape is missing and the switch looks damaged. Any tips on where to get replacements?
It also needs a good cleaning, so I'll probably take it apart soon.
I was also pleasantly surprised that it uses MX Brown switches, since I thought that the suffix LRAUS means that it should be black or clear? In any case, I DID want brown so this is a good thing.
I will come back in a couple weeks and do an update with how I like it. Even though it needs work, it's still a nice board, especially since similar ones go for $285 on newegg.
