Cherry g81-0991 HAF keyboard ?

[Gilgam]

Hello

a friend of mine found a keyboard whose serial number is g81-0991 HAF from 1997
Do you think it could be a G81 cherry, i mean MY switches with doubleshots ?
I still don't have any photo

Thanks for your help you cherry specialists

HAF i thought too . Thanks giving me nice news

But the cherry mecanism must be a MY isn't it ?

[kbdfr]

G81=MY switches, yes.
If you're not interested, I am

MY = M....e

Azerty keycaps are worth it, the case black and the cable too.
I'll send you the pcb if you want

Or it is mislabeled.

At least you will get double shots (H) in FR layout (F), but they will be black (A), not blue (B).

Never heard of a G81 board that was not from the 1000, 3000 or 8000 series. If he does pick it up, please provide pictures. If you are lucky it might just be a typo and is a G80. That is my guess.

Ok
i'll buy it anyhow, the problem is that i have to buy the computer with it ...
I'm waiting for the photos.

I have got another one, which looks like a G80-1800 , but has strange font and no cherry standard code on the back..

Do you think it may be double shot azerty (the holy grail ) and a mx switches ?
It's "made in France" so i have doubts...

Thanks for your enlighted knowledge.

I'll post detailed review as i got them (and maybe a third one ).

might even by dyesubs^^.
The layout does look very 1800ish, but there are other boards with that layout. For example I own a board with a nearly identical layout and alps switches.
Im leaning more towards lasered, since the letters dont have harsh enough edges for doubleshots, but maybe that is the picture. Worth a shot if it isn't too expensive.

I once bought a G81-30##-HAG that turned out to have german ISO dyesubs with english modifiers and numpad key caps
so could be anything
