Got this quite a while back...was collecting some dust...
It's the keyboard portion of an old label printer. I managed to power it on, unfortunately only the lock lights were working. Couldn't get the VFD display to show anything :/

Look carefully at the keycaps. Besides the integrated mount on one of them, you'll notice something lol'worthy.

Nice whack on blue doubleshot.

Wait...is the ADV/CUT key printed AND doubleshot with a whitish second shot that never shows through?

I think we're looking at... *gasp* TRIPLESHOTS.

All of the keys (except the print and arrow) are backfilled with a different color of plastic than the legend.

Haha, I don't think they're triple shots. I'd probably say dye subs. The light grey keys are definitely dye sub.

Huh, didnt expect that. I just assumed the caps with the led cutouts to be printed and got absorbed by the adc/cut cap being an oddity. Which material are they made of?

Probably ABS? But I'm not quite sure. Keycaps of this vintage are usually pretty durable, so they might be something else.
