Cherry G80-2550HPD

[photekq]

Got this a while back but didn't get the chance to take any pictures due to exams











Standard 2100-style construction. Nice, fairly smooth MX blacks PCB mounted with plate mounted F-keys. Lovely blue pad print on some keys, and extra side printing on others.

The 'Freigabe' text looks worn, but the clear coat is still very much intact. Must have been a printing error..

<3 those German legends...

Grdstr, W-Lö, A-Lö, ÄndBs, ...

Dee-lish.

Beautiful! Those blue legends really complement the rest. I wonder if it's the same blue IBM used on their 122s. It looks like that "F" was maybe slightly chipped in the production process.

ahh...back when Deutsche Telekom used proper keyboards. Nice cherry pickin' photekq! It's got the Deutsche Bundespost logo on there too:

Do all these 2*** boards have plate mounted F keys or just this one? I have to say I didn't notice it when I had mine which probably shows how much I used it before I sold it on...

[photekq]

Yeah, AFAIK they are all plate mounted for the F keys.

Yeah, AFAIK they are all plate mounted for the F keys.

Damn... stop, I can only get so erect!

I now really have to find one of these 2000 series boards

I now really, REALLY, want a nice cherry keyboard. I'm having a hard time finding (and funding) one
