Saw this on craigslist. It has some exotic keycaps and an interesting mouse wheel thing on the board. I assume it is low quality membrane, but someone might find it interesting. The seller seems to be asking about half the listed retail price.

These editing keyboards are actually quite common on Ebay. I wouldn't recommend paying for one unless it's the Sony BKE topre keyboard.

some video editing keyboards (chyron) use cherry clear switches. Some (Pinnacle) use mx blacks. Some (sony BKE) use topre conductive dome. The BKE-9400A can use omron or topre capacitive. Omron switches also seem to be popular with other boards. Many of them (chyron, older chyron, lots of others) use keytronic.
The one in the ad appears to be a rubber dome. like many of the video editing keyboards made after the 1980's.

Other non-Sony video editor boards? Any examples?
Some Panasonic video editor boards use some really bad Alps clones. Some Avid-compatible boards used crappy Alps-mount rubber domes. Some old video editors were Mac-based and just set up an Apple Extended Keyboard II with some replacement keycaps on some functions. I got a (NMB RT8255C+) video editor board with black space invader switches from mkawa.

I could have sworn there were some but I'm not turning up any.
