Before I'd tried MX red, I was idly considering the G80-3850 (only sold with MX red in the UK, not the ergo clears we all asked for). Of course, now, I'm annoyed that it's full-size — I'd consider buying one if there was a TKL version.

See, apparently it's bendy, and my Poker II is rock solid. I do love the PCB on the G80-3850 — it has the clean look of an old RAFI or Hi-Tek PCB from the early 80s. It's almost as if they wanted the PCB to look retro to anyone who opened up the case. It's a nice touch.

It may be beautiful on the inside, but man it's an uglin on the outside. It reminds me of a [wiki]Dell KB1421[/wiki], only uglier.

The KB1421 looks fine to me — if only Cherry had copied that one. The G80-3850 looks like some old Cherry veteran was trying too hard to be "hip" and "cool" and messed up.
