Tandberg TDV 5010 (Cherry G84-9021SPMDE)

Now, most of you probably know about the low profile ML keyboards from the G84 series. But until last year, I had no idea Cherry ever made a full-sized layout with ML switches too. But here it is!
Packaging, including a layer of foam padding!
G84 indeed.
Keycaps are sublimation dyed and of spherical profile. All keycaps are the same profile, you can therefore use this board for silly layouts like dvorak or colemak.

For Cherry standards, this keyboard is of extremely high quality and probably much more stable than any of the G80 series boards they produced around the same time.
Under the keycaps there is a layer of foam, dampening the sound a bit. It seems like the foam does not actually ever touch the keycap, so the theory that it was used to soften the keystroke is ruled out.
The PCB is shielded with a very thick layer of flexible rubber and more foam in the inside of the bottom case. Impressive build-quality.
Made in 1998.
