==Description==
The '''Cherry G80-0418''' is an Apple IIe compatible Cherry keyboard introduced in 1984. It was introduced together with the IBM compatible [[G80-0413]]. 

This was one of the first keyboards to feature the well known linear [[Cherry MX Black]] switches instead of [[Cherry M7]] / [[Cherry M9]] switches. The Cherry MX Blacks are plate mounted. The space bar switch uses the still relatively unknown "Cherry MX Space Black" switch which is noticably heavier in keyweight than a [[Cherry MX Linear Grey]] but less so than a [[Cherry MX Super Black]]. 

Both a caseless variant G80-0418 and the G80-0418H with a case exist. 

The keycaps are ABS doubleshot but many alpha legends are not sharp and look pad printed. The brown modifier keycaps are a mix of thin and thick ABS doubleshots. It's most likely that this quality difference between the caps exists because the boards were made before Cherry acquired all their doubleshot molds.
