That looks dyesublimated, right? It's amazing how well the keys have held up over the years. It's good to know that under normal house-use conditions, these expensive keysets we buy can outlive us :)

Price is outrageous. I remember when I bought some of these from the same seller last year for like $55/ea. I mean hell I didn't even pay that much for my full dyesubbed Russian ESA-3000HASRO.

That Desko has mixed PBT and ABS keycaps on it.  The dye sub keycaps are the RGB Control/Alt/Shift, and the pipe slash |\, +=, {[, }],. :;, "", and Tilde ~ keys.  The other keycaps are all ABS thick double shots.  They might be quite nice, depending on the level of shine.

it's only this price because rawko sells it really fast at lower prices and each time he raises the price bit by bit and over time here we are with a BIN at $200

Yeah, it's a tad (read REALLY) expensive. If it wasn't so bad I'd have bought it already :P

Thought I'd give some a chance at negotiating with him.
