Editing Cherry G80-3700 (section)

==Variants==
While the G80-3700 is known and marketed as a programmable keypad, the ability to program the keypad varies. On newer models, the four keys on top are fully programmable and save their configuration internally. The other keys are programmable, but require the Cherry drivers to be installed. This will therefore only work on Windows machines.

Older revisions of this keyboard included a mode in which all keys of the keypad could be programmed with a custom key string, or key combination, which were all stored in hardware and did not require any software or drivers to be installed.

Besides the differences in programming, the keypad also existed in various country variants and was produced with either [[double-shot]] keycaps or lasered keys, as found on current models.

Potentially dependent on the model, the G80-3700 may not function without a keyboard connected to its passthrough port. The passthrough port allows the G8-3700 to be programmed by directly intercepting typed keys on a regular keyboard. The 1997 G80-3700HAU in particular will power up (the num lock LED flashes) but then become inactive if nothing is attached to the passthrough port. The manual describes the passthrough setup but does not warn that the unit will not function as a standalone keypad without a keyboard connected to it. As such, use on a modern computer will require a minimum of an AT to PS/2 adapter for the keypad plus a PS/2 to AT adapter to connect the keyboard.
