[Photos] Cherry G81-3000 SAY

Half-Saint · 03 Jun 2012, 21:10

Guess what I just discovered!? I have yet to get my hands on the keyboard itself but it looks like I made an amazing discovery:

a Yugoslav layout G81-3000 with bloody dye-subs! How weird is that?!

Hopefully I'm picking it up on Wednesday

Can't wait!

Nice, will look forward to seeing it.

Come on! You just have to take your camera, turn it on, pop the flash out and make a shot!
We all stayed awake to see this!

You can't disappoint us!

Pah, I don't want to see your scruffy keyboard with silly layout and silly MY switches anyway! I bet it is smelly too!

You are only jealous, because there is no dye-sub Cherry keyboard with Dutch layout!

You're not helping with my reverse psychology strategy!

Half-Saint · 08 Jun 2012, 00:13

Alright, you win!

7bit · 08 Jun 2012, 00:16

Thanks!

@webwit: you where right, it is dirty and seems to smell ...

Half-Saint · 08 Jun 2012, 00:21

It doesn't smell! It does however need a bath although I've seen much dirtier keyboards.

Great find!

Half-Saint · 08 Jun 2012, 12:15

Until now I didn't know such a thing as a YU dye-sub set even existed. I wonder how much it would be worth.

It's easy to find out.
Put it for sale on eBay with an unreasonably high Reserve Price

Half-Saint · 08 Jun 2012, 12:37

hehehe

Would it be safe to put those keys in the dish-washer? I don't want to mess about with kukident because I almost always end up rubbing the keys by hand while they're still wet to remove all the dirt.

EDIT: I stuck them in the washing machine. Will report back.

kbdfr · 08 Jun 2012, 13:29

I for one would never drive an old-timer car through a carwash plant.
Same with such keycaps.
And I think I would even enjoy cleaning every single keycap by hand

EDIT: saw your EDIT too late. Good luck!

Half-Saint · 08 Jun 2012, 13:32

I'll kill myself, if they come out all scratched! I put them in one of those cloth zip-bags for delicate stuff.

People want one, but don't have it: 1
People wanted one, now have it: 1

So how much do you want?

Half-Saint · 08 Jun 2012, 15:21

RESULT: Washing machine did a great job! Caps are super clean!

I haven't really thought about it. Maybe I should try kbdfr's method

Half-Saint · 09 Jun 2012, 08:08

I wonder if a french dye-sub set exists... or UK for that matter? Anybody seen one?

Half-Saint · 09 Jun 2012, 22:49

I edited the Wikipedia article and included three more boards but added a description only for SAY version. Feel free to add more stuff.

A French dy-sub set exists, but no clue if there is a G81-3000 with them.
I have a (OEM branded) G81-1274 SPF.

Don't dry in the oven no matter WHAT the wiki here says!

CONGRATULATIONS ..

Really..
I know what a feeling it is to finally find a nice board
in your own more or less obscure natioanal layout !

Now you just need to find out where the rest of that pallet went
