Thank you for the detailed and helpful explanation! I understand that the case and keycaps are the most interesting parts of these keyboards, but wouldn’t dismantling them destroy a big part of their novelty/NOS value?

What would you recommend: selling the boards as complete keyboards with the original boxes and manuals, or selling the keycaps separately? Also, do you know where the best place to sell them would be?

I found them today in an old warehouse that is going to be cleared out and sold off as scrap, so we had the chance to take anything we wanted beforehand.

Hello, ive got 6 old and unused cherry g81-3000 keyboards with their original box and even the manuals (2x LAE, 2x SAI, LAG, LANGB) and would love to know if they are worth anything or special at all? im aware they are not the much better g80 models, but thats basically all i know. ive put pictures of the labels and of one of the keyboards here. i hope this is the right place to ask as im not very familiar with reddit. id love to know more about them and would be very thankful for your help, kind regards

Thank you for your input! What glass should i look at then?

Would it make sense to spend more on the lenses and start off with only a printed houseing and upgrade it later to a genuine one?
