CherryG80-1800 Compact Keyboard - MX Switch - Black - 104 Keys

this keyboard has an ANSI-1800 style layout. [NON-ISO] comes with stiff 60gram actuation Cherry MX black switches [not lubed] and you will notice that they are not lubed if you lube switches.The stabilizers were cherry I believe but cannot 100% confirm. I lubed the stabilizers with 205 grade0 and the stabilizers feel a lot smoother & do not have as much ping. I also put just a little bit of foam from KBDfans under the PCB inside the case to dampen the ping when typing.Lastly, if you buy one hold on to it as long as possible as you can sell it in 5-15 years and someone will buy it or you can salvage the PCB for the switches.Edit: 2 weeks later the switches feel a lot better. I use it A LOT at work as a daily driver and not for home/gaming, but did use it for gaming one weekend and it works great.Edit2: Months later great board. changed rating from 4 to 5 stars.

I ordered this board and it arrived three days early. The Stabs were a bit rough but after about an hour of tuning and clipping and such they are literally perfect I wont be replacing them. The keycaps are great thickness and sound good. (dye-sub PBT) The body is only held together by some clips so i did a little foam and some band aids on some common surfaces and it was a night and day difference in sound and tightness. The board sounds great out of the box and even better after you use it some and lube it up and tune it. Just takes a little time and an acquired taste.

I am a keyboard enthusiast and this keyboard is great for office work.

The plastic PCB stands were broken just like another reviewer pointed out. The plastic case feels cheap. The price feels a little steep. The keycaps feel great and these cherry mx black switches ain’t bad either. The stabilizer rattle is fixable except on the space bar which I’ll get over I hope. Ultimately I got this bad boy for work and I’m pretty jazzed about it. None of the downsides are deal breakers.

best keyboard you'll ever own.

Ever since I bought it, it constantly misses key strokes and skips and jams on certain letters. It even gets stuck on a key sometimes and writes 50 of the same letter in a row.

Arrived quickly and just as described, works perfectly. Highly recommend.

Box didn't come sealed but everything was fine. One reviewer complained that there are no homing keys (at f and j) but there actually are. The profile of these homing keys has a deeper concave than the rest of the keys. It's just something a little different. But it's something that you can feel when typing.This model does come with the ansi layout. Keycaps feel to be doubleshot abs. You will feel the doubleshot on these keycaps. Also the 5 key comes with the euro symbol.Cherry also does say on their site that this keyboard is programmable. But this is with software. This keyboard isn't hardware programmable.Overall decent board. Not overly great in quality but the layout is very nice. These black switches are also smooth.
