Who bought it? Someone from Germany or is it going overseas? (turning my head towards South Korea)

That is such an insane price considering how shiny that thing is. Whoever bought that doesn't have their head screwed on right.

Yeah, unfortunately. Was actually confused by the 'as new' description.
I thought about bidding but as soon as it crossed the 70€ I lost interest.
Still nice to see. Was the first time I saw a German layout with Cyrillic legends

It's a rare board. There are some in Korea though [including that one I bet].

Khers · 17 Nov 2014, 19:34

I get the feeling it's a lighting issue though, since there is virtually no shine on the spacebar. Also, there is no shine in the last of the three images. I might be wrong though.

gogusrl · 17 Nov 2014, 19:36

Dunno, check out that backspace. It's like half and half.

Khers · 17 Nov 2014, 19:39

Ok, the more I look at it, the more convinced I am that it is really rather worn. There even seems to be dirt on the side of some of the caps. Really bad lighting conditions though

Halvar · 17 Nov 2014, 19:41

Shouldn't that be PBT if it's a SAR board? How can it even become so shiny? I've never seen an IBM Model M look like that.

Muirium · 17 Nov 2014, 19:45

Fishy.

photekq · 17 Nov 2014, 19:46

It's definitely PBT, just really worn

OMG, I see MX Voodoo believers dancing in trance (and Cherry fans kill me)!

Disclaimer: I have no Idea what kind of switches this has

BlueBär · 17 Nov 2014, 20:12

MY, calling it now.

My highest bid was 115€

But my HAD caps look that shiny, too if I take a photo with flash. But they look fine in daylight.

I think it's G80, but definitely not Nixdorf blacks. Just regular MX blacks.

What's causing the shine between the keys? The PCB, or membrane sheets? I'm not certain.

Madhias · 17 Nov 2014, 22:38

There is something wrong with the arrows with this Nixdorf keyboard.

To me it looks more like a PCB rather than a membrane. Usually the membrane/metal plate would shine trough much more, but that could be the lighting. I'd say that's a PCB beneath the keys, so some Cherry MX switches.

What about this one? http://www.ebay.de/itm/331383317823

Halvar · 18 Nov 2014, 01:02

IDK, but it doesn't look like Cherry to me.

Swedish Tulip keyboard. Probably rubber dome with Alps compatible DS caps (and non standard stabilizers) similar to http://deskthority.net/wiki/Tulip_9151B. Part no: 11-500046-00 Fcc id: FPW 9151 B-68 W

Do you have a source stating that it could be Cherry MX?

Looks like lasered keycaps to me.

No, presumption based on the resemblance to the TBT04S.

And guess you're right about the keycaps on the acrobat one. I'm bad at detecting their type but they look too greyish I guess.

This one ain't MX.

Maybe something interesting, 2 Cherry keyboards.

The second one definitely has lasered keycaps, I'm not sure about the first one.

Halvar · 19 Nov 2014, 23:28

Any idea what this is anyone?

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Alphameric-Solut ... 1388471877

Nuum · 19 Nov 2014, 23:39

It probably has Alphameric Foam and foil switches, which are similar to Keytronic foam and foil with a similar (or same) mount.
I've seen the weird right shift with the 1.5u ? key before, but I don't know where.
It has nice legends, is that spanish layout with cyrillic?

Halvar · 19 Nov 2014, 23:51

I see, you're probably right about the switches. That wide ? key is really weird -- why would they want to move Shift further away?
