Title: OOH! Hebrew mechanical keyboard red letters! Dyesub?

I’m sure we have Jews on this forum. That keyboard looks darn good and (if really mechanical) is definitely not expensive. BIN at $39 free shipping? If I needed to type something in Hebrew even once a month, it’s a good deal!

I would expect it to be pad printed rather than dyesub. Not sure about the switches, but despite the "mechnical" tag, there's a decent chance it's a RD.

that's the main concern I'm sure anyone would have

ebay sellers have certain weird definitions of clicky and mechanical, and their definitions tend to be the type that inflate their prices.  :p :p :p

99% chance it is a rubberdome, and I say about 80% chance the keycaps aren't MX compatible even. Besides they are just laser and pad printing and all the rows are the same profile.

Yeah, I agree. That thing's probably a rubber dome. I might be willing to buy it for a dollar.

they look like normal hebrew language layout keys to me, but I do agree the font is interesting.
