I wonder if anyone knows what these keys are on this M SSK?
The box says UAL on it. Thinking it might be from United Air Lines.
Or not. Who knows?

Nice find! These are from the airline reservation system used by United.

Are the numbers a different color? They look a little different but I can't tell if it's the lighting or being dye-subbed.

It's lighting, everything is one color.

I'm guessing it's still dye-subbed from the looks of it though, right? If those are PBT they look like they'd be some pretty nice caps.

On another note the [ key looks so happy

Yep, all Model M/F key caps are PBT with dye-sublimated legends (with the exception of the black M13 and some rare key caps).

Jealous! I love sublegends, even if they have no meaning to me. :)
