==Cherry version== Cherry produced keyboards for the Commodore PC-5 and PC-10 home computers under several article numbers in the mid 1980s. The [[space bar]] is 10 units wide. There is one centre key mount and 2 additional [[stabiliser]] mounts, 3.5 [[unit]]s left and right of the centre. The stabilisers are Cherry PCB mounted but with screws fastening them instead of the more modern plastic clip on variants. The keyboard features "vintage" [[Cherry MX Black]] switches, with [[diode]]s on all switches for full [[N-key rollover]]. There is a red LED under both [[caps lock]] and [[num lock]]. As is traditional with Cherry MX keyboards, the space bar uses a different switch; here it is [[Cherry MX Linear Grey]] with a much more pale appearance than modern MX Linear Greys. ===Disassembly=== Just turn it around and remove 8 screws. ===Gallery=== ====G80-0499==== <gallery widths="250" heights="187"> File:DSC01373.JPG| File:DSC01376.JPG| File:Cherry_color_comparison_Commodore_001.jpg | The keycap colours are slightly darker and more brownish than the regular Cherry key caps. </gallery> ====G80-0530==== <gallery widths="250" heights="187"> File:G80 0530 Label.jpg | Label G80-0530 File:G80 0530 ger web.jpg | Top view of the G80-0530 variant with German layout </gallery> ====G80-0532==== <gallery widths="250" heights="187"> File:G80-0532-IT.jpg | Top view of the G80-0532 variant with Italian layout </gallery> ====G80-0559==== <gallery widths="250" heights="187"> File:G80-0559_--_Top_view.jpg | Top view of the G80-0559 variant with Danish layout.
