No J key, eh?
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

I asked the seller about that, and will post here if he gets back to me.

Dear <dorkvader>,

Hello, the J key is not there, both L Keys are new old stock and appear to have never been touched, no dings, no wear and no dirt or residue of any kind. I will amend the listing, thanks for catching this for us, I totally missed it.

How do you know the keys are double shot?

Looks exactly like the board I pulled out of a dumpster a while back. Alphas are doubleshot and the mods are lasered or pad printed.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Cherry DS font is fairly distinctive.

But if you still aren't sold. it's too old to be anything else, and if you look carefully at some of the keys (numberpad + for example) you can see it there too.

Good find! I was wondering the capslock, alt, etc looked a bit off.

Cherry White knock offs.

If that's the switch I'm thinking of, it could be one of the first MX clones

I got some in some keypads and they were truly terrible.

Sounds like mine, hehheh.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
