Cherry G80-3600 Mouseboard (yes, 3600!)
Posted: 24 Aug 2017, 15:02
I must have missed this when it came up on Reddit last month. It's a original-style Cherry Mouseboard with the Mousepad, like the 3500. But the model number is G80-3600. I assumed a typo on the part of the uploader - but it is 3600, and there's even a FCC application under that number.
Above: front view; note Mode key between left Strg and Alt instead of 3500's Repeat. Below: back label with FCC ID.

So a) there appears to have been another original-style Mouseboard, and b) this seems to be a reused model number - very unusual for Cherry. (Fortunately the later MX-Board 3600s have five-letter codes, so it's fairly easy to tell the two 3600s apart.) I also wonder how this is different from the 3500 - the difference in model number suggests there's some relatively significant difference. Controller revision, perhaps, with a change in functions to explain the change from Repeat to Mode.
Anyone seen one of these before?
