What are the differences between the BNR1-V2 and the BNR1 R2?

Reply to New (to me) Cherry G80-11800 by 31899
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. :)

My wife wanted a keyboard for her birthday so I went down the rabbit hole. Had to build one for myself in the process for research purposes 🙂

fortunately it wont be too hard for you since you used blank keycaps. Just gotta switch the black ones for white and vice versa, then replace the esc key with a white one.
The red casing is a nice touch as well.

Thanks, could you recommend any budget 40 Ortos with hotswap and via support and maybe a cnc case as option under 100usd? I might wanna try this layout as a travel/sofa keyboard and dont wanna spent too much on it tbh. Thanks in advance

Looks really cool. You seriously type on that though? I really enjoy these type of custom and unique builds. But always end up wondering how some of them work lol.

Or just refer to it as a checkerboard? Path of least resistance.

Not yet!
In Q1 2023 I plan to add a rough surface option, then I will think about other sizes.
Why do you prefer 700x300 mats? Because of a smaller desk?

Hmm… might be the plate then. I’ve seen some others suggest that

Can you offer different sizes? Like a Keebmat or 700 x 300?

I don’t think it’s the keycaps. These switches just pop right out.

Oooh you should definitely make a "reverse" version of it. I would gladly buy that

Averak — a very average layout with HM/FY/OIU mods.
This picture is a bit old, and I now use a layout that it closer to Colemak, but it still has some Averak influences.
