Editing Cherry G80-1000 (section)

==Introduction==
The G80-1000 was the first full-size keyboard introduced by Cherry for the desktop market. With clear inspiration taken from the [[IBM Enhanced Keyboard|IBM Model M]], it was an affordable alternative keyboard with high durability. Multiple variants of the G80-1000 have been produced between its introduction in 1987, with the most recently seen variant produced in 2011. Pricing has hovered around 110 DM (55 EUR).

The case design was more sturdy and essentially of a higher quality than the [[Cherry G80-3000]]. In contrast to its successor which has snap-in [[stabiliser]]s, some G80-1000 have the stabilizers affixed with screws from the backside of the PCB.

Unlike the G80-3000, the G80-1000 was never made with [[Windows key]]s and was eventually phased out to be replaced by the G80-3000 and the [[Cherry G83 series|G83 series]] of [[rubber dome]] keyboards.

Some models have a switch on the bottom to select either [[XT keyboard interface|XT]] or [[AT keyboard interface|AT protocol]].

Earlier production runs used an FCC ID of GDD5YOG80-1000; later runs used the same FCC ID of the G80-3000, GDD5YOG80-3000.
