That board seems to be in a pretty good shape. What is the DIP Switch for? AT/XT?

I wouldn't say these are vintage blacks. Cherry sign is smaller than it should be. I have the very same keyboard, cherry mx black with diods (not vintage switches)

The Cherry logo is bigger than on a new switch, compare it to the size of the slider. Also the cherries sit lower than on the new logo. I have the same keyboard as well... Wait I actually have two of them

The logo doesn't mean that much, unless you define "vintage" as "with big logo". There have been keyboards with switches that had both kinds of logos, but consistent feel. Speaking of feel, those were ridiculously smooth—like filled with some liquid—smoother than any blacks or reds I've tried on any modern keyboard.

The ones with the big logo are usually the super smooth ones while sometimes switches with the small logo are as smooth as well. The big logo is just a good indicator.
And yes, what you felt were vintage blacks.

This was made in 1988, it's as vintage as it gets

blaupunkt btx keyboard?

But the blaupunkt has the same "fct" button.

You guys are mean. Also yeah, the Blaupunkt ones are very similar in legends. I have a one of the smaller ones with the coffee/cream colored keycaps.

[kbdfr]

You guys are mean […]

(former version of G80-2100 with "only" 23 programmable keys, before the "Cherry" programming key was moved to the cursor key area)

Here is another one for you, Sixty

[nourathar]

I'm not that much into Cherry-boards but these are weird and wonderful !

[kbdfr]

Another gorgeous one, with a lot of weird (doubleshot) caps:

Looks like you have singlehandedly found every obscure French Cherry keyboard in existence.
What's the model number on that last one? I'd guess it's a 9000 series?

[7bit]

I suggest to hold the next keyboard party at kbdfr's place. He has a ton of keyboards he never ever had shown to anybody.
My guess is it either start with 0 (like G80-0876) or is not Cherry made keyboard at all!

[kbdfr]

It seems not to be a Cherry-made keyboard, but I can't open it to check the innards.
I wouldn't want to break the seal as it says that the warranty would then be void

Warranty seal says "Bull", label says "Bull", keyboard has a "Bull" logo.
Perhaps... a Bull keyboard?

I got some of these. I have the bigger brother, too. Trivia: Cherry called this type of G80-1800 case "Prism". They also made similar ones for the 3000 line.
