The Cherry G80-3800 is a low-profile full-size keyboard with PCB-mounted Cherry MX switches. It is smaller than the Cherry G80-3000.

Keycaps

The keycaps are new for this keyboard. They are flat and have a different skirt to give the appearance of having low-profile switches. The legends are reminiscent of other newer boards from Cherry, centred and using the Myriad font. The keycap set is not entirely compatible with any other Cherry G80 keyboard.

Only comes in black with white legends. Seems to be slightly thicker than other G80-3000 boards. Keycaps are laser printed.

G80-3800 was superseded by the plate-mounted Cherry G80-3850 MX-Board 3.0.
