Cherry MX blacks? Watch out for that flying pig overhead!

Some sellers just don't understand that when they list irresponsibly using whatever keywords they think are more attractive, they are severely misdescribing their stuff and asking for some big trouble from irate buyers.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Why post this in great finds when it's clearly not mechanical?  If you're going to do a warning post, it's better to actually do a write up on recognizing incorrectly identified boards to try and help people avoid stuff like this.

What a hideously ugly keyboard!

Anybody who buys this monstrosity is surely buying it for the ridiculous lighting and the cheap price.

But yes, who knows what made the seller think that it had Cherry switches?
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Ebay perusing, every time a Geekhacker types in "Cherry" within their search engine, this dodgy-arse seller's page will front up and only the newbest out there shall fall for it, by handing over their money.

Not everyone out there can afford a Filco or Leopold so easily these days  8) .

I've reported that seller multiple times for listing practices. They will disappear for a day or two and pop back up again...
