==Connector and switch variation== On G80 boards, the second letter in the letter code signifies [[Cherry MX|MX]] switch variation and cable connector, although this tends to be very confusing as the numbering scheme is not always consistent. Keyboards of other series usually have the letter 'A', 'P' or 'U' to signify only the connector (DIN, PS/2 or USB). The exception is the G85 series where all keyboards have USB. {| class="wikitable" ! align="left" |Letter ! align="left" |MX Switch (G80 only) ! align="left" |Connector ! align="left" |Note |- |A |[[Cherry MX Black|Black]] |DIN |[[G80-5000]] has [[Cherry MX Brown|Brown]] switches |- |B |[[Cherry MX Brown|Brown]] |PS/2 (usually) |G80-1191 HBG has black switches and DIN-5 plug<ref>Deskthority β [http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/cherry-g80-model-1191-made-by-tandem-broken-t8507.html Cherry g80 Model 1191 made by tandem.
