- Testing old Cherry g81-3000 mechanical keyboard from 1989. Black MY, linear feel, laser printed key caps. No windows keys
I'm playing not so good but purpose is only testing mechanical keyboard in games. - Наука та технологія
The typing sound of this thing sounds pretty amazing, at those times they made things proved to suffer all kinds of collisions and malfunctions, yo can hit it many times and it will result no damage,the keyboard would be fully functional all time!
That typeing sound is amazeing! :D
Mine too i washed it one time and it looked complety new. I love this old keyboards!
i love my keyboard, been using it for 10+ years
which model do you use?
macolest this one, g81-3000lpnes/01 says the article description
***** Yes, you can put any cherry keycap for example i put the keycaps from my corsair k70 in this g81 and vice versa. cool!
***** i guess we could discuss about it
buy some snacks then ;)
Yes, this is a rock solid keyboard and very heavy. It is 24 years old and works like first day ,also has not discolored or has turned yellow.
Thanks for comment
Thanks for comment and for info about threat i read it now.
I have a black version of this keyboard. They use 'old style' black Chery MY switches. The H in the part number means that it has Doubleshot Keycaps. G81 Keyboards came out with Cherry MY switches, G80 keyboards came out with MX switches. You can find more information on Deskthority in the thread 'Cherry MY - What's up with the hate?'
A true keyboard. Not like nowadays. Best typing.ever.
Yes this is g81 and come with MY
Since it is mechanical, does it have anti-ghosting?
This keyboard is from 1989 so... I wouldn't expect so
Gergely Dombóvári Mechanical or not has nothing to do with the effect known as "ghosting". It has something to do with the USB standard and how key presses are registered.
PS/2 keyboards (round plugs, purple socket on most mainboards) don't have the problem of ghosting at all.
I always thought rubber dome keyboards can't really register a number of buttons which are relatively close to each other because I thought the rubber plating can easily mess things up when 3 or 4 neighboring keys are pressed...
I know that PS2 technology doesn't restrict it as USB does, but I thought you need certain kinds of switches to make registering many keys possible for only the keyboard, when it has nothing to do with transferring the data to the computer yet...
Gergely Dombóvári Nope. If that was the case, proper writing would be impossible on rubber dome keyboards.
Gergely Dombóvári This is only true on cheaper membrane keyboards with poor tolerances, where pressing hard on one key would deform the low quality membrane or contact material to the point of registering nearby keys, but I was not aware of any keyboards actually fixing this. They are just shit keyboards :P
Ghosting has to do with how keyboards function over USB. Basically, there are not enough available channels to keep more than so many keys in the down position. Special drivers can be used to prevent sending the position of all keys in their packets, and instead behave in a latched fashion, just sending state changes in those packets to overcome this, but can cause some strange anomalies(explained later) and would need special drivers for each OS to function.
Using the PS2 port does not suffer from these limitations, however, most USB keyboards will only function in 'USB mode', so they will never even try to send more than the USB limited number of key presses. Therefore, to overcome ghosting, you have to use BOTH a USB to PS/2 adapter, AND use a keyboard that is NKRO compatible. Keyboards that are NKRO compatible perform out of usb spec when on usb(they use hackery so it would work in USB and PS/2, but is not compatible for all OS's, though still needs the ps/2 adapter to take advantage of the hackery they do here), so many of them have operational mode switches on them, so they will still work properly in OSX and all unix variants, as well as games with unusually low level raw input which may misbehave.
Maybe that will help you understand.
To answer your question, no, it does not need anti-ghosting in the first place. It would not ghost as it was never made for USB.
:P
