G80-1856 HQMGB

[tinnie]

This is a board from taobao, it cost 228 RMB or something like that. I would like to tell you that the price of cherry boards/ caps are getting higher and higher. 2/2.5 years ago, a dolch set only cost 20 USD and it's in brilliant condition. But now, a set in mint/ok condition cost 488 RMB.
The price raised a lot.... and much much frankenstin board now..

what is the difference with a g80-1800 ?
It looks like a Raptor K1.

Don't have much difference I can say... It's just using black switch, Great britain layout and double shot keycap..

Q should have clear switch... you got Frankenstein'd. Of course price is rising, there is a finite supply as Cherry stopped making them 2009. It will only keep climbing as they get more scarce, especially new old stock.
Nice board, don't see GB in black too often.

I see... maybe another case of Cherry not following their own product codes then.
