This is a really awesome board with a really iconic layout. I have a similar one which is my current daily driver atm, and I really enjoy using it. GLWS

Really happy to see this board has found such a nice home. Thanks for taking good care of it.

Thanks, and again thanks for selling it to me in the first place. A (for me at least) perfect first Cherry board as well as a first board to clean up.

Very cool boards, I am always suprised to see a 150X branded something else than the *insert long german word about sick* ones that are so common One has to admit though that "Chip Carte" doesn't have the same presence and ring to it as "Krankenversichertenkarte" has ;) And yes, these seem to be no...

Inspired by the recent post, here is some more love shown for this topic in the form of two Desko branded 1500-based boards. #1. Desko "BFA 3433" 20190518_120616.jpg 20190518_114512.jpg This board is apparently a Desko branded G80-1505 HBD. #2. Desko "BFA 3300" 20190518_114359.jpg 20190518_112754.jp...

I just picked this vintage Cherry MY-Board up, de-gunked it - and let me tell you: the sound, oh the sound: Congrats on finding this board, you did a terrific job on cleaning it. Can't say anything about the feel of MY switches myself either as I've yet to try them, but main thing is that you like ...

Have a look here:

Hopefully you'll be able to recover from having to use this thing during your testing week

The perfect way to commemorate this board would be to organize an IC for GMK EZ Eyes...

That F107 is indeed a real beauty

Here is a Unitek K-156? Appears to be documented in the wiki.

What type of switch is this? I mean, look at the stem in the last picture ... lovely caps, but I don't think they'd fit anywhere else.

Looks like a variation of Cherry M7 series with a straight bar mount, but I could be wrong though.

Man, I have to give credit to some eBay sellers, they document their product much better than some members of the community :lol: I'll add it later on :) Yes, the seller really did a great job documenting the board in this listing. Stunning looking sphericals on this board btw, the board seems to b...

Cherry G80-0115
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3028100539

This model seems to be undocumented in the Cherry database as well. The listed price is on the pricy side, but the seller takes offers.

This post (or something similar) should be on the front page, or somehow pinned in the Spy or Board, so that it would always be visible when one visits the forum to encourage people to de-lurk Great idea

Decided to create this post in order to have a reference for the Cherry database and to check if anyone might know anything about this particular boards article number. This board originated from one of Wodans recycler hauls, and he was kind enough to sell it to me as my first Cherry board, so a tha...

@ISO_Returns
Thanks for making this GB happen and for all the work you've put into to it I'm in for a BoW kit myself and I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully BoW reaches MOQ

Anyone know what the "G" might stand for in this case? this question is what started it all, for me at least, and with all of these keyboards put in the same place, I thought I would be able to tell ... but yet I still don't know what they mean :( If you want to document it, I'll add you to the spr...

Hi, You've all done some really awesome work with this database. Hopefully I can contribute with something. I happen to have a G80-3000 H G D, and I didn't find that particular model when I browsed through the spreadsheet. I might have missed it though. Anyone know what the "G" might stand for in th...

Simple, elegant, my MX endgame. I love it. Simply beautiful :) As an customs uninitiated may I ask what board this is? KMAC? Also, are the keycaps Ansi dyesubs? Does vintage clears have any other significant difference to modern clears, except of being a lot smoother? How is the tactility, is it ab...

PM with offer incoming

Inspired by this review of the factory silenced R2 I decided to pull the plug on a silenced Realforce. I however finally landed on the 87UW(S?) or "Low noise" version. Mainly because I personally like the old case design more, but I was also curious about the variable weighting. I must say I was ver...

I use boards with both ISO and ANSI-layout, but I exclusively type using the Swedish\Finnish-language setting on my computer. If I could choose, and there where enough options available, I would exclusively use boards with ISO and Swe\Fin layout.

Nicely written summery and guide on the cleaning process of that awesome board :) I bet Salmon Alps are really pleasant to use and even better when one goes that extra step of putting them thru a ultrasonic cleaning. I've also run into the same "finding enough time problem" as you. A few months back...

Testing out the concept of a leftside numpad, a simple one didn't suffice (will do a post on it). so I finally did what I wanted to do when I first got the M50 and installed it as leftside numpad PLUS extras. Still a work in progress, but I'm liking this setup so far (bezel excess notwithstanding)....

Are there custom keycaps for the Realforce 87U that you'd recommed? Readily available custom aftermarket keysets and keyset for Topre in general are unfortunately kinda scarce. The only one I can think of is the Kbdfans 9009 set. Don't know anything about the quality of the set though. I use 88U 45...
