I believe the PS2 is just a passthrough for a mouse

Some double-shot, some pad printed and some with an ancient engraving + fill technique that seem to give perfect contrast (double-shot like) but less durable (see the blue "Voucher" key). Please don't clone my fingerprints for German fake IDs.

Nice find!

I assume you blurred the serial and batch no. due to ebay or less than legal means of acquiring this keyboard :P.

Last time I asked Access keyboards for some help regarding a keyboard they asked for the serial number, I gave it to them and they said that board should not be in my possession. Since then I'm blurring their serials.

Board is from eBay UK, yep.

Wow I wish I could find some of vintage Cherry stuff.
Can never find any, let alone find sellers that are willing to ship to Canada -___-
I want to try pre-1995 MX Blackssssss RAWRRR~

By the way, sixty did you ever ship out the springs and two cherry switches to me?
No invoice either, I like to pay back people that send me stuff :D

nice response, perhaps Access-IS think that their products are so good that no business could possibly want to sell or bin them once they no longer have a use.
