1800 layout, POS, MY, but Cherry Doubleshots. Bottom row won't work with MX as usual, but everything else will

I'd say buyer beware: The pictures are of one with lasered POM, not doubleshots (you can tell by the thinner legends and the bubbled windows key).

Well once I get it I will tell everyone if it really is DS or POM

what is shown in the linked ebay ad's picture is 100% lasered POM.

lasered POM shift keys are the dead giveaway....as the text isn't vertically centered like on DS, its higher up
And also having SysRq & Break on the top also only happens on lasered POM and not DS

I'd say it's worth that for a set of cherry POM.

Heck, if anyone gets this and it's POM, I'll trade a set of shiny doubleshots for it. I need more POM spacebars anyway.

In that case, I shall trade you. I'm looking for shiny doubleshots anyways

Didn't cherry also make lasered ABS?

So I guess this brings up a few questions. Cherry did use POM spacebars in all their POM sets? And how we know these aren't lasered ABS?

That G and thin font can tell it's not doubleshot
