Basically a nice board... has some strong signs of wear... but kind of gives it even more character. But much too expensive, especially in this condition.
I would be tempted if the price was somewhere around 500$.
Yeah i just thought that might be interesting for someone there. Thats still pretty rare board. Also i just realized that industrial SSK don't have numpad partition on it?

seems like the industrial ssks with the blue keys don't have the numpad printings. the 'normal' industrial ssks have it.
this was a crazy auction, I remember it...

would love to have one of those with blue keys for my collection, but seems like mission impossible if one doesn't have a ton of money...

Fascinating. I've just written to my contact at Chicony to see if he can shed any light on that — I'm wondering if Chicony took over Nan Tan's keyboard production when Clevo bought Nan Tan, because it seems so odd that Chicony started making Nan Tan keyboards, and under Unikey's FCC ID, and the keyboard changed to Chicony's preferred switch (Aristotle) instead of the Alps clones that Nan Tan was using.

Re the KB-6011 — Unikey is confirmed as a subsidiary of Chicony and Chicony have ties with Clevo. I suspect that they did indeed take over the mechanical keyboard manufacturing from Nan Tan, although this goes back longer than my contact has worked there and he doesn't think anyone there still remembers (being around twenty years ago!)

Interestingly, Unikey was previously associated with Nan Tan:

Alps? I can't find much about that keyboard (just a lot of old, dead links) besides this postively Cambrian thread at GH:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=4242.0
Pretty remarkable that one even survived. Here's the link it mentions, which is now dead but saved by the Wayback Machine:

Anyone here got one of these Orteks or has an informed opinion of it?

Fairly reasonable price. Apparently has a cracked spacebar, but otherwise appears to be in good shape.

Just a couple years ago, this would be an outrageous price. How times have changed. I've noticed sellers now listing any old keyboard for $300-$1200, things that used to go for $20. I tried to offer a seller a "reasonable" $200 for a keyboard I considered worth $75, but he turned it down instantly. He wants over $700. What a time to live in.
I don't know how HaaTa keeps buying keyboards. He must be rich.

Yeah, he's a keyboarding playboy! There are worse things to spend it on, of course, and he shares so he's still on the right side!
