The LEDs in Caps and Num Lock look kind of cool. About how old is the keyboard?

Those should have Black switches with Doubleshot keys.

'H' = Doubleshot keycaps
'A' = Cherry MX Blacks
'D' = German layout

They also have diodes for full NKRO and 3 LED-caps for Num,Caps and Scroll-lock .

There are 2 main-versions, one with White/Beige keycap colour-scheme (as in the picture) and one with all-white doubleshot-caps .
The all-white version was introduced around year 2000 (mine is from 2001)
and where only produced for a couple of years . So, the one in the picture is
likely more than 10 years old ..

This is really one of the more interesting Cherry-boards but it's HUGE !!

The auction unfortunately ended a bit out of my price range, €32.50 + shipping.

Anyone here who won it?

Congratulations anyway, please provide some decent pictures of the keyboard once you get it. I'm still interested in getting a similar one, hehe.

You got it relatively cheap, they often sell for about 50 Euro !
It's Germany-only, has MX-Blacks with doubleshots, diodes and 3 LED caps, ie pretty collectible,
also for the Asians .
They may get cheaper soon, Germany is switching health-insurance cards so the keyboard
won't work for the purpose most bought it for ..
