yup, minitrackball and qwerty. Identical to this :

may be interested , will have to wait until next month now tho

need an active USB converter that will do mouse and keyboard

I've been using one of these with great success so far (worked with everything I've thrown at it).

I had a problem with a similar-looking one, the extra key on ISO keyboards next to left shift didn't work.

I have several of these which are equally cheap and never had a problem (probably by chance):

I love those adapters. So cheap, so effective! They work fine with all of the boards that I've used with them. I've come across a few variants, though, so some might not be as effective as others.

The link is still in your quote anyway.

I love how the seller calls it: Antique Mopar Diagnostic Machine Computer.

I will not ship oversees

Lasered POM, you can see that quite easily from the SysReq and Break text being on top of the keycap instead on the front.

40$ + shipping is not exactly what I would call cheap.

It's not NIB, but just "new". The "Item specifics" and "Detailed item info" cannot be relied upon, they are a eBay feature. In this case, they indicate "G81-8000LPBUS-0" and "Light grey" color, which obviously the item is not.

…and doubleshot keycaps.

I'd be curious to know the amount of the "best offer" which the seller accepted instead of his asking price of $793.64:

That's not Nordic, it's Norwegian.

So Nordic is danish/swedish and then norwegian is separate ?

Well.. That was Norwegian layout, which is almost same as Danish. Just 2 keys swap places, so we can say that NO/DK is one layout. Then we have Finnish and Swedish layout, both countries use the same layout. And then we have Nordic layout, where all these have been put together, so some caps have actually 3-4 different markings.

Switches are the old, not so filthy MY version.

Text says that the missing caps can be replaced - as a matter of fact, they were made only for Goupil and have a very special, somewhat darker hue with dark grey letters, and any replacement cap would catch the eye.
Of course it would be possible to Frankenstein it and replace the complete set of caps, but then, where’s the thrill?

Learn to snipe, people!

hmm.... I would be tempted if it was the square label one...

If I were in the EU I would take that Goupil. It's still a great deal if you are into retro computers. I have a similar Goupil 286 machine and it's still going strong. It is a shame about the missing keys though to be sure.
