The Cherry G81-3000 is a series of PC-compatible [[Cherry MY]] keyboards made by [[Cherry]]. It shares the same case design as the [[Cherry MX]] switch [[Cherry G80-3000|G80-3000]] and the rubber dome [[Cherry G83-3000|G83-3000]], with which it can be easily mistaken.

==Potential controller bug==
G81-3000 has been found to be susceptible to the same potential controller bug as found in the [[Cherry G80-3000|G80-3000]], where Linux and macOS misinterpret the USB HIB report issued when keystroke blocking occurs.
