Sorry guys. There was some kind of problem with hosting. Now I think it's rubber, there is only fcc id on the label.

I'm trying to find mechanical keyboard in Poland because shipping from US is insanely high and Korean keyboards cost a lot. Maybe you know some shops in Germany?

Sorry for my English.

I was tipped on this reseller (http://www.computeruniverse.net/list.asp?pagetitle=Keyboards&language=english&maxrecords=30&cp=2&np=3&lp=1&SearchNoFullMatch=0&home=false&group=30000200&price2=28%2C5&order=%5BHKN%5D%2C+%5BVKB%5D%2C+%5BN1%5D&newProgram=False&newDays=30&previews=False&props_mastergroup=False&p2=28%2C5&o=%5BHKN%5D%2C+%5BVKB%5D%2C+%5BN1%5D&manufilter=0&navigateto=%3C&navigate=2). Quite a few Cherrys there.

Keyboard in the first post is almost certainly rubber dome.

The keyboard in the first post is a common type of rubber dome keyboard. It is one of those that have sliders that sit a top the dome. Usually, the sliders are made from a plastic with less friction than the key cap or case, and/or the key cap interface is a standard type that could fit several types of switches or key caps.

I have bought several better used boards on eBay.de. The best find was a Compaq with Cherry MX Brown switches for 1 Euro + postage. Now it is my daily driver at work.
The trick is in knowing what to look for. Whenever I find something that looks interesting for sale that I don't know anything about, I search for more info on this site. :)

cześć :)

it's not so easy to get cheap mechanical keyboard  in our country - currently I'm considering two options:
- buying Noppoo Choc Mini on Taobao and sending it directly to Poland - approx. 105$ shipped
- finding someone who's coming here from US and buy a Filco Tenkeyless for 139$ on Amazon

In EU Filcos cost about 100 euro or even 100 pounds and I'm not going to pay 500zł for a keyboard ;)

However I'm currently waiting for opinions about KBT Pure, because it seems to have a very vim-user-friendly layout and the price may also be quite good :)
