The cap profile and absence of stepped 1/shift etc. make me think it's Microswitch.

I can't guess at which it is, but some 3277 beamsprings (for example) have non-stepped caps as well.

Code: Select all

1.Minimum order quantity 10 pieces. The freight displayed here is not accurate, we will charge you the correct freight after weighing your items.

Looks legit. There is a ton of these boards on taobao, just use your trusted taobao proxy (superbuy or bhiner) and order them there.

Cherry G80-11800 Grape replacement PCB!

I didn't even expect someone to put any work in 11800 boards. Normally you just scrap the pcb and throw the case away...

Nice find!
Damn chinese community is on fire...

You should get one of these and build it inside a 11800 with vintage Cherry MX blues!

Never in my life did I expect to see an 11800 pcb, these are switch donors and nothing more in my eyes.

Or some other vintage switch that he wants to do

hansichen · 07 Apr 2018, 10:52

A 11800 would be an adequate place for vintage blues

Myoth · 07 Apr 2018, 10:55

11800 are good to browse your phone with

Here's another cool one! G80 3000 replacement PCB!
$31
I have a G81 case (cherry branded) that I could use if I bought it.

Wodan finds many many many G80/G81s. Would also be interesting in a cool case!
Imagine this PCB in this G81 keyboard!

I'm calling 100% microswitch on this one. Beamsprings never had the thin arrows. If you look at Chyros' hall effect review video, you can see the same thin arrow pattern there, and is also seen on the 3277 microswitch hall effect boards that have been photographed.

They are not Signature Plastics SA, because of the ribs on the underside of the cap. SA's SAs don't have ribs like that.

GREAT, simply because SP sux at Dye-sub work, every single key-cap bought from them over the years look like Unicomp's disaster's.

Just wondering why Americans have this difficulty in doing any decent dye-sub work NOW, verses what was done in the distant past?

Are the previous generations far more acute or sophisticated compared to what is produced now within the Great U,S of A?

Yes, also the product details mention "WM manufacturing" (whatever that is) and "Made in China".

This looks like alps to me, at least the caps should be alps compatible.
