Does it?  Thought it was the standard Radio Shack keyboard you could buy ages ago, I want to say the switch is similar to a Commodore 64, but may be completely wrong...

Stackpole, as in Oric Atmos.

In my hometown it was Lafayette Electronics.

As Soarer said, it's an Oric Atmos Stackpole (unsure if Oric just bought an existing keyboard that later sold to Radio Shack Archer brand or vice versa) - but I'd appreciate it if nobody else bids on this. This is the last keyboard I plan on bidding on (theoretically). :)

I don't really like the switch, but I like the look of it.

I deny everything!

Just to be sure my memory isn't totally screwed, Radio Shack did sell some kind of Commodore Keyboard:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/370952064356

Don't know what the switch is in it though.

Wellll......if you want to keep the number of bidders to a minimum, posting it here may not be the best course of action.  (No I didn't bid)

Well duh. I'm not the one who posted it here. I've been waiting as the only bidder all week, hoping it wasn't going to be posted here.

Well, you did make it conditional by saying "plan on"

That's OK. I'm sure there are people cursing my name for the keyboards I posted in great finds. There's no way to know somebody's been eyeballing a keyboard on eBay.

It's not like I actually needed another keyboard. (...but now I won't have one with orange doubleshots, damn it)

Meh, I prefer the orange honeywell doubleshots. These are nice though.

I saw this on my eBay searching, and wasn't interested. Hopefully others aren't too interested either and youlll get it for cheap. I have a feeler on a KB on eBay that's incorrectly listed and VERY interesting to me that I'm hoping no-one else figures out what it is so I can have it. But if it gets posted to greatfinds, I'll keep waiting and get one eventually. Keyboards is all about patience.

It would be awesomely nerdy if they included the Atmos because his name is Moss.

It's possible... the manual under the altair was deliberate:
