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 🙂

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.
