Nice item, too bad the keys are so shiny...

I like how the seller has like photos from 3 or 4 different keyboards......

I understand that this keyboard is from Jim66. He was selling it on Deskthority (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/cherry-g80-5000hamit-g80-3700-t4347.html) and I guess since he didn't find any buyer decided to auction it on ebay.
I was interested but too much money spent during the past weeks and also I don't like to buy keyboards I won't be using.
The serial number is great.
By the way are the wrist rest removable?

Yes, it's mine; no they aren't like pictures from 3 to 4 different keyboards. It's the same keyboard, the pictures were just taken on two separate days. Once in natural light, the other time at night under my useless apartment spotlights.
The spotlight makes the shine look much worse than it is.
Having said that, you could just replace them with non-shiny caps.
DS keycaps in good condition are very common; G80-5000 + G80-3700, not so much...

Nah, the wrist rests aren't removable.

The clips that you see just above the wrist rests are for the top case; there is another row of them at the top.
