Post by: Tactile on Wed, 27 December 2017, 11:21:18
...and just as an added bonus, you get a keyboard, too (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MX-Black-Keyboard-D-91275-PS-2-G80-11900HRMUS-05-Keyboard-with-Touchpad/292384036525). But seriously, folks, this is a really good deal.

Very nice keyboard indeed. I am using one of those sets now and it has a great feeling.

Bottom row is pad printed, isn't it?

Yes. The 1u mods are pad printed in these boards.

I just picked one up. I love double shot key caps and a free board isnt too bad either lol. So it says it comes with mxBlacks how are they? Before this ive only used blues and vintage keyboards like Model M and F's

I see now they've raised the price to $49 OBO. Still a pretty good deal, tho. These are nice keyboards and most which come up for sale have lasered caps instead of doubleshot.

In case anyone is wondering how we know it's doubleshot caps, here's how to interpret the Cherry number (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_article_numbers).

I bought one of these several years ago & harvested the switches and caps from it. In my keycap set the CTRL and ALT keys are doubleshot and only the Win and menu keys are pad printed. And the spacebar is PBT (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86052.msg2309947).

It's not actually PBT, the mould just says it is :))
I can confirm. It is ABS.

And it is a six units off-centered stem one.
