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].

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.

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

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

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.

Fishy.

It's definitely PBT, just really worn

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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