Nice blue case on there! Hope someone can snag it on the cheap.

Wait, this looks exactly like the Data 911/ TG3 keyboard except with blue backlight. What's up with that?
-
What switch does it use?

Because that's what it is... Might also have MX Blue keys, I don't know about that.
TG3/Deck sells the tinted/translucent keyboard surrounds ($15?), and even has instructions to add LEDs to the surround frame, as the TG3 cop-car version doesn't have those.
There's also a different font used on the keycaps.

Looks like black switches.

Link? I have a Data 911 board and want to do that.

There you go. Pick up a used TG3 version, buy a different colored plastic shell, and practice swapping LEDs.

Sadly most of their cases are no longer in stock. I emailed asking when they would restock and never got a reply.

Bear in mind that there are two or three different TG3 "cop car keyboards," I'm referring to the ones that look identical to the Ebay pic, not the ones with integrated track pad.

It's possible they are completely phasing out this style of keyboard? Might explain why we're seeing so many crop up on eBay lately.

They are nice little keyboards. I have two of the TG3 versions, and they are rock solid. One of the few less-than-fullsize keyboards I'd consider using as a primary work/gaming keyboard.
