What is this Switch / Keycap / Keyboard Thread

[Spharx]

I've missed this one today at ebay.
I am still not sure if this is a mechanical keyboard at all .. like the seller too.
I have searched the web but didn't find this keyboard model anywhere else. Its not even on the manufacturers website.
Because the seller is selling them quiet often I wanted to ask if this keyboard is worth a buy.

They are G81s, terrible keyboards. Sometimes good keycaps. Be warned though that they also exist in lasered keys, besides the double shot variant.

If you are looking for a good keyboard, this is not a good one. If you are looking for a chance on good keycaps... go for it.

Thanks for the fast info. Next time I have to force the seller to take of the keycaps ... thats gonna be fun again.
Where do you found that information about this keyboard ... as I say'd I didn't found anything.
Strange that some company's don't want to inform their potential customers about their products.

Its a OEM run. And also a really old one. You will notice there are no windows keys. The boards are from 1988-1993. I have a few of them in various versions, some Cherry branded, some Desko branded, some others.

You must be some kind of keyboard nut.

I wonder if he managed to lure in any Korean girls yet.

It looks like English legends, which is a plus (for me, anyway).
It is hard to see in the picture, but the 'F' and 'J' keys look dished to me, and that would usually indicate MX. No guarantees with OEM boards, though ...
