Tvse keyboard

[AGmurdercore]

Hello! I just found some super cheap mechanical keyboards in ebay and i want to ask if anyone of you have heard of them and if they have any opinion if i should risk to buy one of those or not. Thank you, here is the link.

If those are the same keyboards I'm thinking of, horror stories. I would wait until someone involved in it says something before you buy. I'll try to find the thread.
Hopefully I'm just confusing the keyboard names.

Says in the eBay ad, "TVS Gold Keyboard". So probably no or minimal difference.

It's odd too that it says cherry blue switches, but the switches don't have the cherry logo on them in the picture.  Also the keys look pretty worn for "new."

I cant see is there is logo on the switches. but yeah the key caps look shiny from usage.

Formerly Cherry TVS Electronics of India (Now ZF TVS). They use Cherry MX switch, not fakes as they are a part of Cherry/ZF as well. The build quality is a bit less than the G80 line in general, but they come with really sh!t oem keycap of the cheapest possible type. If you can get one from an honest Indian not a fraud ebay seller they are worth the ~$40 they cost. Even if you don't like the keyboard it is hard to get that many MX switch for less new.

Well if someone have tested this seller and is legit one i might consider getting one of these, but else not because thats kind of too much money for a job less student like me lol

Oh good to know.  I guess my paranoia bit was kicking in.  If it's new, then that's terrible even just for 100+ Cherry MX switches (and hopefully usable stabilizers too).
