Ooh, are these buckling spring?

Never mind, just looked at the rest of the pictures.

I remember when this came up before, but I can't find the topic for now. Interesting to note: These have a really weird layout! No real number-row, missing may keys (they are blanks). No idea what's up with it. Too bad the keycaps aren't M/F compatible, or it'd be cool for that.

Ooh, space unsaver kind of layout. That is definitely an awesome layout to me... too bad it's not the Model F.

Yep, I had provided a link to another sale some time ago and someone on here mentioned they were rubber-domed.  But the very BEST quality rubber-domes.
