Posting something I bought on a whim a long time ago...back when I had limited knowledge and was just starting to get into mechanical keyboards. Bx has been sitting on my shelf untouched for a while now.
First off, this board is only PC/XT compatible.
A pretty box:
All original paperwork including manual, warranty card, and marketing standup cardboard thingy:

Closeup of keys...wait, could that be dye subs????
Here is where it gets interesting! The board has both ANSI and DVORAK preprogrammed...which means that the caps had to able to be physically interchanged without problems...the entire alpha block has the same profile, close to Cherry profile. Pictures below.
G,T, and Y are from the Smartline, the other caps are "regular" Cherry Dyesubs for comparison.

Great keyboard!
I like the modifier key placement.
Let me know if you want to sell it...
7bit.saint: Are you crazy! More and more keyboards you won't use anyway!!!!
7bit.devil: Get it!! Pay any price!!!

To be honest I am thinking of selling it...since I posted it I've had three people ask me for a price...no idea what to tell them xD.
The caps alone make this board expensive enough, the collector's value even more so. If anyone wants to try making an offer go ahead.
I haven't taken the time to read through the manual yet, but I found a mention of the mouse in a review online...apparently you switch between keyboard and mouse function for certain keys. I will post more once I sit down and read the thing.
