Just picked up a new server rack with an included console/kvm switch. A user in r/homelab mentioned that the console had a rebranded Cherry G80-11800 keyboard. It appears to have vintage cherry mx brown or black under the keycaps. I thought you all might appreciate seeing a picture! I will probably keep it as my console keyboard for the foreseeable future. :)

Those original double shot keycaps are rare. Great find!

Nice rack. Come here often?

I love seeing these. Reminds me of one of my first PC builds in 1990s

Pentium 3 with 256kb ram. That was a beast 🤣... At the time.

Oh, nice to see an APC-branded board. I've always liked that rack-mount layout. It's probably an 11903, Cherry used that specific number for APC boards - and probably Black switches, not necessarily capital-V Vintage but still smooth.

If you want to find out a little more about it, have a look underneath at the label. Cherry's date codes and article numbers are easy to read.
