Caseking (http://www.caseking.de), a well known german online shop, is celebrating their 10th anniversary, as it seems with stuff like special offers (10 Cents for a 15€ mousepad :o), contests and exclusive special editions.
The question is what's up with that golden keyboard in the pic, will that be some special edition like the Caseking Anniversary Edition Case (http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog/Media-PC/HTPC-Cases/Alle-HTPC-Gehaeuse/BitFenix-Prodigy-Mini-ITX-Gehaeuse-Caseking-Anniversary-Edition::21673.html) they offer atm?
It at least looks pimp.
PS: They sell mechanical keyboards but only the gaming branded ones from Razer, Zowie etc..

It looks like a MKC aluminium case and lasered zinc keycaps to me. I don't see it available on their website though.

Thats looks pretty baller

Want, looks badass

Got informed that it's 24K gold (plated I guess :D).
Maybe they will sell it at a later point or you can win it in some contest or so, afaik their whole anniversary thing runs over the whole year.

24k Gold makes for a horrible keycap surface, it would smother in a matter of hours

This doesn't look like a keyboard you would use, it looks like one you would put in a bank vault!

Those are zinc keycaps gold-lated. MKC only made two for that European company and he will never make them again since it's pretty complicated.

did he put anything on the caps to protect it because the gold is soft.?
And, hi feng, did you get my PM about the luminum space bar.

I can't imagine the price tag on that board!

Yes, UV coating

All I can see is Mike Meyers as 'Goldmember' saying, "...I..luf...gold......." :))

Regardless of how it feels to type on, that just looks amazing. Makes me really want a black/gold themed board.

I generally don't like gold bling, but man I really want that keyboard.
And yay, they have ISO metal caps, finally some ISO love.

Still no ISO modifiers

I don't think there are ANSI modifiers either, but this is the first time I've seen ISO alphanumericals.
