I'll say around €150-170. While it's a rare board in Portuguese that layout historically are harder sell than most other layouts. I suppose they have very limited appeal to non-Portuguese.

If I had it I would keep it too, or the keycaps and put them on a decent board... or at least put a G80-3XXX PCB inside it assuming it's a MY version.

How much are 104 Cherry MX Black switches with white LEDs worth? (plate mount)

I'm not sure if this aligns well with other people, but for me, MX blacks aren't worth much [1]. You can get a G80-1800 full of them from Germany for less than 5 euro + whatever cost to ship to you from a German friend, then just desolder them. That's something like 10 - 15 euro shipped outside of Germany, so I'd say that yours are worth maybe 20 euro since the buyer wouldn't have to desolder anything. The LEDs are a nice addition, but they're also really cheap to get from eBay or Chinese sites like aliexpress etc.

[1] Disclaimer: They're still my favourite MX switch, just very easy to get a hold of.

They're all over ebay.de. I need one too, in fact.

yes, but they usually have the doubleshot caps so they will go for a price much higher than I want to spend as I just need the pcb :/

btw, I'm referring to G80-3000HAD ones, do you know any 102keys w/ laser caps?

How much would an Amiga 2000 keyboard be worth? Doubleshot caps with MX black switches.

I thought that the versions with 1.25 bottom keys were not Cherry MX... :?

Those caps do look quite Cherry-ish though.

The caps are definitely Cherry doubleshots and the switches are definitely MX blacks. I believe it is the same model as this. When I opened the case to clean it I saw the PCB said Cherry as well. I should've recorded the actual number but I didn't because I lacked foresight! Damn you, past self. I will open it again when I go home tonight to see.

The Red A and windowed caps are a dead giveaway for cherry switches.

You're absolutely right, the wiki article shows 1.25 keys too. I must be thinking of another board entirely. Now I realise I might've passed up nice Cherry boards in the past... :lol:

Those Amiga cherry boards go for about € 50-75 on eBay in Germany. Not sure about other countries though.

Really nice. Could go to more than 70€ on an auction, I think.

There was one on Ebay recently, but the seller sold it elsewhere for a shitty price because there was no bids on Ebay... :|

Someone here got it? :)

@ramnes, that's not the Cherry version of the keyboard, it looks more like the Mitsumi version.

Sure Nuum? I thought the one with the red Amiga key was the cherry version?

Yes, the Cherry version has space between the Amiga keys and the spacebar, also the keycaps on ramnes' one have rounded edges compared to the sharp Cherry ones.

Good to know, thanks. I really thought that the red key was cherry for sure and never paid more attention to it.

FWIW, everything about my keyboard confirms what is already stated in the wiki.

The one I linked has that space between the modifiers and the spacebar.

Strange, first you linked this one: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Tastiera-keyboar ... 1483462935
The other one is definitely a Cherry version.

Hi.
I've found two Cherry G84-4100 with us layout. Some keys have a little bit of dirt but i wanted a compact keyboard for some time and the seller is asking for 10€ each.
Is it worth it?
