The Cherry G80-1800 is a series of PC-compatible keyboards. It is currently in production, made by [[Cherry]]. Special versions have model numbers of the form G80-18xx, like for example the Dolch keyboards G80-1813 etc.

Of the regular production series, several variations exist, sharing the same G80-1800 model number. Earlier keyboards have 1.5 units keys (Alt/Control) without a gap in the bottom row and a regular 7 units space bar, while newer models come with Windows keys (1 units keys right of the 6 units space bar). The keycaps have been made in several types of plastics (double-shot ABS, PBT and POM) and in several colour variations. Contemporary keyboards are either completely light grey or black.

==Layout==
[[File:G80-1800.jpg|300px|thumb|right|A modern G80-1800 with Windows keys and logo of the corporation that ordered it]]
Compared to IBM's classic [[IBM Enhanced Keyboard|enhanced]] layout, the numerical key pad has been moved closer to the main keyboard with the arrow keys squeezed in-between and down. The nav cluster has been moved to the top and the Print Screen, Scroll Lock and Pause/Break keys have been moved into a column to the right of it. To make space, the numpad-0 key and the numpad-<plus> key have been shrunk to 1 unit in size.

In comparison to the [[Cherry G80-3000]], several keys now belong on a different row. These keycaps have a different profile (most noticeably height) and as such, are not fully interchangeable between the G80-1800 and G80-3000. Delete, End, PgDn, numpad-<minus>, ←, ↓, → are so affected.

The right Shift key is 1.75 units wide and has no stabilizer. This key does not fit the [[Cherry G80-11800|G80-11800]] and [[Cherry G80-11900|G80-11900]] where this key is 2 units wide and has a stabilizer bar.

The keys on the space-bar row on the main keyboard are the same as on the [[Cherry G80-11800|G80-11800]] and [[Cherry G80-11900|G80-11900]] series.
On the variations with Windows keys, the space bar is 6 units wide and the other keys are one unit wide.
The ''winkeyless'' variants had 1.5 unit Ctrl and Alt keys and full 7-unit space bar as on the winkeyless G80-3000 but all shuffled to the left side.

==Variations==
The very first models were winkeyless, with a DIN interface (switchable XT/AT) and double-shot keycaps.
Later models got PS/2 connectors and Windows keys and also had double-shot keycaps.

Like other contemporary Cherry keyboards, current G80-1800s have Windows keys, a USB interface and only laser-etched keycaps in light grey PBT or black POM.

Current G80-1800s have [[Cherry MX Black]] switches. Earlier models and special variations have several types of Cherry MX switches. For instance, the Cherry G80-1865 has [[Cherry MX Brown]].

Notable variations below.

The ''Dolch PAC'' is a series of specialized luggable PCs that came with an integrated screen and a keyboard mounted on the side. Dolch is famous among keyboard enthusiasts for the colour scheme and quality of some of the keyboards: a variation of the G80-1800 labeled G80-1813HFX on the circuit board. All of it was made by Cherry except for the case and cable.
