The '''G80-1600''' is a keyboard made by [[Cherry]]. The keyboard has been available as a regular product (see [[Cherry catalog]]). It has a connector for a first-generation barcode reader, which looks like a ball pen. It also has two extra switches between the [[modifier key]]s for controlling the barcode reader.

==Introduction==
The keyboard supports both the [[AT keyboard interface|AT]] and [[XT keyboard interface|XT]] keyboard protocols, selected via a [[DIP switch]] at the bottom. At the right-hand side there is a DIN socket to attach a barcode reader. The keyboard features [[Rollover, blocking and ghosting|N-key rollover]]. The case is the same as the [[Cherry G80-1000|G80-1000]] standard model, with the exception of the barcode reader socket and 2 extra keys, "Prog" and "Laser". The "Prog" key is used to program code sequences that should be transmitted when the barcode reader is used, while the "Laser" key is used to switch on and off the barcode reader. Additionally, an electronic "key click" can be enabled through the "Prog" key.

The switches are [[Cherry_MX_Black|Cherry MX black]], which are the standard for industrial and [[POS keyboards]]. Additionally the board features two [[Cherry_MX_Super_Black|Cherry MX Super black]] switches on the Prog and Laser keys. These switches were not used for the prototype boards made in 1988.
