Okay, today I got something I've been searching for for about 3 years. This is absolutely my endgame Cherry keyboard, and I'm over the moon that I was finally able to get it.
YUGE thank you to mindgame from Russia for his outstanding find and his amazing friendliness
Two new condition (no boxes, but for once I don't care) Cherry G81-3100SAV with ANSI cyrillic dyesubs.
They both even came with the original Ukranian replacement keys and keycap puller (keycap butcher).
Haven't unwrapped the second one yet..
Some more photos :

When I return home I will do a full teardown and will also compare the G81-3100SAV to the G81-3000SAV and ESA-3000-HASRO. They are all different!

Congrats! It looks fantastic.
May I ask why this board in particular was your endgame? Didn't you have ANSI cyrillic CHerry dyesubs before?

Well, any new condition keyboard with keycaps like this would have done.
I got a G81-3000SAV a few weeks ago, but it was quite used.
That said, SAV certainly would have come above HASRO on my list because of the extra Ukrainian keys
To be honest, I never would have expected to find a G81-3100SAV. These are the first ones I've ever seen in the wild.

With my IMSTO caps I can really appreciate red dyesubs. I love the way they look.
So are you ever going to use these? Or are you afraid they might shine? Are you going to wear gloves when typing on this board?
Also HAL your acc pic is scary

Every time someone posts about such a keyboard, I await with great anticipation the owner's production of Russian poetry, which would be the only obvious application. Always I'm disappointed.

I call this one "Ода Spot"
Spoiler:
Felis Катю ваша таксономической номенклатуры,
Эндотермической четвероногим, плотоядными по своей природе;
Ваши визуальные, обонятельные и слуховые чувства
Внести вклад в ваши навыки охоты и естественной защиты.
Я считаю себя заинтригован вашими subvocal колебаний,
Исключительное развитие кошки коммуникаций
Это устраняет ваши основные гедонистической пристрастием
Для ритмичного поглаживания вашего меха, чтобы продемонстрировать любовь.
Хвост весьма существенным для ваших акробатических талантов;
Вы не были бы столь гибкой, если у вас не хватало его противовесом.
И когда он не используется, чтобы помочь в передвижении,
Это часто служит для иллюстрации состояния вашей эмоции.
O Точечный, сложные уровни поведения вы показываете
Достаточно означать хорошо развитую когнитивную массив.
И хотя вы не чувствующее, Пятно, и не понимают,
Я тем не менее, считаю вас истинным и ценным другом.

Those keys look cool indeed; however, as some others have already suggested, they are of doubtful real life application if you write in other language but Russian. But, who cares about usability, we are keyboard collectors, aren't we?

Nice keyboards. I would like to find one like it myself one day.
They both even came with the original Ukranian replacement keys
Judging by the picture it actually came with original Belorussian keycaps too! That letter "Ў" is not present in Russian or Ukranian alphabet.

Sorry for the necro but you said you were going to post pics of the G81-300SAV and you never did, did you take them and forgot about it or just didn't take any ? Can you please post some ? Thanks !
