I recently found this black keyboard on a second hand store online that had my layout (Belgian Azerty), I knew it was a G81 because it was a professional line but there was no other info. I saw it some time ago as well but thought this couldn't possibly be doubleshot but I figured what the hell and asked the model number. Apparantly it is a G81-3000HKNBE. I did some research and found nothing, besides the fact that H could stand for doubleshot and that it is obviously a MY board. I discussed this at GH as well, and decided to go for it. If it didn't work out I'd still have new black lasered keycaps and a case.
To my surprise, it really is doubleshot. I couldn't be happier! It's hard enough finding anything usable in this language and layout, so this is a real unique find for me.
Anyway, enough babbling, here are some pics!

Shift lock?! Nice find, replica caps are all well and good but you can't beat a nice vintage board with your home layout. They look in pretty good condition too, shame about the bottom row caps though.
I managed to bag another set of white on black UK ISO caps for £20 the other day so now all my boards are vintage Cherry'd .
Very nice indeed. The bottom row (and stepped caps lock) might be taken care of perfectly with Ivan's next GB, then you'll be able to use it on a board with nicer switches, too.
I'm writing on a similar German set with Ivan's purple modifiers on a Filco right now.
I managed to obtain a CMYK set from BimboBB who's selling some sets right now in the marketplace can't wait to see all these nice caps on one of my boards one day, if only my Phantom parts would ever arrive.
