The seller doesn't know the brand so he sells it as uknown, and he doesn't have AT port so he is selling it as untested.
Could you please tell me what is the brand of this keyboard?

No idea.  Nice German layout, though!   ;D

I love those number pad modifiers!

I have a Model M from 1991 with german layout, love it :)
I'm always thinking, that whenever I type command to bash shell it says: Jawohl, Herr Kommadant!

I guess it's BTC foam/foil. If you search a bit, you may find some relevant info. Keycaps should be compatible with Cherry MX.

I thought it is a rubber dome. Never the less, foam and foil feels like junk.

thanks guys. it's starting price is 1 cent, I don't believe it'll reach more. But if it's a junk I don't need it anyway!

Rubbish. You won't find anything exciting under this faded and yellowed keycaps. All you can count is dirt, hair and rubber domes.

I agree those keycaps look horrible, so they wouldn't be useful with another keyboard. However, BTC 5xxx series isn't all that bad. I really like some of their rubber domes.
