Unitek k-157 (http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-IBM-PC-AT-XT-COMPATIBLE-KEYBOARD-UNITEK-GERMAN-/110606659760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c0abb0b0#ht_5869wt_1182).  I actually like the hand written russian on the key edges.

My guess is blue cherry mx.

German stuff, appropriated and rebadged crudely in Russian. I find that highly amusing.

Kinda looks like a magitronic, but the model number is off by one.

Funny. My mom used to work as a translator to-from Russian. She had a wonderful clicky keyboard (model F AT layout) and the russian letters were actually engraved into the keycaps. I'll try to dig it up and take a pic.

So does this one, I was outbid on it last year.  I envisioned putting skateboard trucks under it and standing on the 2 grip tape looking regions.
