Looks like modern keycaps on it too. My guess would be either the Model OLED sold through NK not too long ago or the Vortex Model M SSK kit.

I can't remember for 100% sure, but I think the Model OLED did have the option to forgo the screen. I'll look into to it a little if I get the chance, I really like the look of the board you posted too so now I'm curious!

I know the keycaps, I was asking about keyboard.

Looks like the plastic Vortex SSK's:

Post by: phinix on Sun, 08 December 2024, 17:45:04: Yeah, that's not Vortex.

Post by: pixelpusher on Sun, 08 December 2024, 19:59:38: I believe that is a render. Keycaps are PBS classic, which don’t yet exist. And yes, it’s not the metal or plastic Vortex. Metal has odd side gap from lack of curved plate and the plastic board has a notch detail around the windows keys are not true to the original Model M.

It’s lovely. I hope someone has plans to make it a reality. I remember when someone was planning to run a very close approximation of the Model M through TKC but then it never happened.

It must be render. Its from PBS caps I ordered when they announced it while back.
