Editing Cherry G80-5000 (section)

==Known variants==
The G80-5000 exists in at least two variants, with and without [[Windows key]]s. A prototype variant, the [[V80-5000]], with a different design and more solid case construction is known to exist and in the possession of a collector.

The latter Cherry G80-5000 variant (with Windows keys) is equipped with [[Cherry MX Super Black]] switches, used for the Windows keys and the [[menu key|context menu key]]. Cherry G80-5000 only came with double-shot ABS keycaps with two variants distinctly as marked within the part number:

* Cherry G80-5000 HA'''A'''xx : This is the former variant of Cherry G80-5000 with all [[Cherry MX Brown]] switches. Notably based off [[V80-5000]] in terms of the switches used as well as no Windows keys on the left side of the keyboard. It is named as the MF version.

* Cherry G80-5000 HA'''M'''xx : This is the latter variant of Cherry G80-5000 with a mixture of [[Cherry MX Brown]] switches as well as [[Cherry MX Super Black]] switches. In lieu of F13-F17 function keys missing on the left side, it has been replaced with Windows (super) and context menu keys. It is named as Windows™ 95 version.
