Old Cherry MX black switches.
Front row key caps are doubleshot except for windows and meta.
There is a serial connector (my german boards don't have that).
There is no AT switch on the bottom of the board.

Clean! Looks like it's never been used.

Beautiful. The cable is the same as on the ancient G80-2000

That IS a nice keyboard! Look at those Italian lettered windowed keys...

Very nice. Now if only I could find me a double shot numlock with a window....

There is no such thing as double-shot LED window keys from Cherry. The Cherry ones are pad printed with a coating. Same contrast as their double shots, though.

Oh I see. Well, I could always drill a hole in a DS one and fill it with something.

I thought about that too since I use some artificial water for my other hobby that could be handy in this situation.

I will give it a try with a random keycap and post some results.

The keyboard looks fantastic, actually looks like NIB.

I would say there's no need for that. After several years of intensive professional typing on a G80-2100, I can see absolutely no wear on the printing of the windowed keys. As a matter of fact, I hadn't even noticed they weren't doubleshots

It can happen. This is a Cherry Phoneboard that was in use in a callcenter for several years. The keys once showed symbols. They are the keys used to accept and end a call:

Just for info the keyboard in the OP is indeed NIB!

Very nice.

I always thought they were dye sub

Just wonder is it possible to get it to OZ for $80EURO?

Very nice. I guess this model is hard to find.

Out of curiosity I asked the guy, if he would ship to Slovenia. He said yes for 55EUR + what I paid for the board... vaffanculo

I could proxy for that, if you want. I think regular shipping from italy to slovenia won't cost more than 20€!

It's not seller's fault. Italian post prices are ridiculous.

So is that actually so expensive? I thought the seller was trying to profit.

No they are real prices. See "paccocelere internazionale". My package delivery note says 3.6kg weight.

Whoa, that's crazy!

Mine just arrived.

here is what I've typed on it:
dahjslkfdsahjflkyeuritrewyiutoyewiurtoreyuiwto

n-key rollover!

Now I consider to give the seller bad feedback because of the bad packageing. I'm so lucky that Cherry switches have got gold contacts which can't corrode ...
