Not sure about where they are made but the NMB-made ones are pretty decent, yeah. I see these non-stop at the recycling centre but this might be the first black one I've seen so far. They don't really compare to mechanicals though.

The description says "I know nothing about these and have no idea what make they are so must just be sold as you see them", so they are sold blurry, with blurry legends. Who wants that?

Nah it's not really meant to be used as a standalone keyboard but as a replacement product. The GT80 has MX Browns though which is cool.

This is true. However not all environments are welcoming towards mechanicals.

I'd bid on them. Looks like they could have some cool things going on. No shipping to 'Murica, unfortunately.

Ask the seller to pull a keycap to be sure. If he doesn't want to, ask him for a video with the typing sound.

Canon QS 200, iirc it had sliders over domes, possibly nmb.

Looks rubberdome. There's unpopulated switch spots to the side of Code\Mode with a blue dome there. The keycap mount is also fairly common on 90s laptop rubberdomes.

Sicon International SMK-97. Not really sure what this thing has. I can't find anything from a web search or the FCC ID.

I don't know, but if we listen to the Schwartz we might be enlightened.

Are those PBT? Did you buy it ?

Very nice, those look like Alps-made ones too! Don't think they're PBT though, unless someone can confirm

Nope, nope!
I am practically certain they're doubleshots as they look like many Alps doubleshots I've used.
Odd fact is that, AFAIK, Alps DS caps are actually quite rare, at least in ANSI. The Leading Edge DC-3014 is one example, and then the Packard Bell T9201, and then this one.
The KB101AS you have, luigi, is also another rare example.
AFAIK, the Acers tend to have dyesubbed ABS.
Whereas you have tons of SGI granites with dyesubbed PBT. Then there's the AT101 early model with PBT.
I'm honestly not sure if any Acers actually had PBT or if they were all dyesubbed ABS.
A very good way to tell dyesubbing from ABS is on the numberpad section of the boards, as far as I have seen.
On the leading edge and on this Packard Bell, you can see the asterisk and minus symbol (* -), and they are quite enlarged whereas on the dyesubbed caps, they are smaller.
Of course that can vary more with dyesubbing, but I'd imagine there is little variance with the doubleshots.

Definitely not PBT :p .

Examples of above hypotheses:
Doubleshot ABS:
Packard Bell T9201
Dell AT101 Japan
Leading Edge DC-3014
Dyesubbed PBT:
SGI Granite:
Dell AT101 US
See the trend?
I have not examined dyesubbed ABS but I would imagine it to be similar in appearance to the dyesubbed PBT.
I should probably write about this on the wiki.

It's gone, it's bought. Not for a second will this listing last any longer after having been posted here.
I'm damn certain someone nearly spit out their any drink while skimming through this thread and seeing this.
God speed to you, brave soul.
May you have your dream Cherry popped.

Plot twist: someone is really making Chinese clones and passing them off as used uber-Cherries.

At 5000CNY it isn't going anywhere.

Oh darn, someone bought this for $50 shipped before I could accept the seller’s counter offer of $40 shipped. Oh well.

I offered $35 and the seller ignored me, no counter-offer. $40 would have been acceptable. I just bought something from this same seller a few weeks ago too. Strange.

XD Good call.
I failed to realize just how much 5000 CNY was.
Yep, nevermind.
Nevermind at all.
