I'm starting to love the g80-5000 but it has thing that are wrong with it. I'm going to have this one thread dedicated to my g80-5000 and mods that I do to it. Please if anyone can give me any pointers please do.

It's a bit ghetto at but the typing is very comfortable. If anyone has any ideas on how to mount it permanently please say.




EDIT: That is not my reading level, they are my Son's.

Wow wasn't expecting that!

typing on the xt now

You right it wasn't over a longer period. All is back to original now. At least I didn't do anything permanent.

Yeah, I unhooked the spring/wire thing that connects the two halves a while ago. I didn't invert the board like this, but it did allow me to place the halves much further apart, kinda like a utron, ErgoDox etc.

In the end, I preferred it just like Cherry intended it. after all, I'm pretty sure a fair amount of research went into it...

EDIT: Those look like genuine RGB modifiers; how did you get your hands on them?

They're not, they're SP. Got them in a trade.

How are you liking the 5000 compared to the type-s?

I've given up trying to like cherry, having a sale of it all now. Topre is where my heart lays.

I see, including the 5000?

Yeah, want another?

Nah, ironically, I'm pretty sure I too and going to go back to topre. Not sure which variety yet though.

You will be back to the g80-5000 sooner or later. It's unbeatable

Damn, i actually went there a few days after you got yours lol

As I am getting an MX 5000 soon, I would like to take this thread in order to ask you guys some questions about it:

In this review:

http://gdgt.com/cherry/ergo-plus/reviews/ulp/

is stated that the wrist rest is removable. True or false?

Also, there are F13-F17 keys on the left. Could you program them in autohotkey like:

+F3::foo

?

No, the wrist rest is not removable, it's part of the bottom of the case. I couldn't see why you couldn't but I have never used autohotkey or the F13-17 version.
