I got this board as part of my effort to find what switches I liked best off a "certain auction site" for cheap and when it showed up I was real disappointed as it appeared to be filthy, but when I ripped it apart it was actually nice and clean inside, just the keys were disgusting. I just cleaned them up with alcohol and a toothbrush - didn't even pull the keycaps - and put it back together. Tests 100% on xev. Funny thing about this board is that the F and J keys are less aged than the rest of them and are noticeably lighter in color. Not sure if those were replaced by a previous user or if they are molded from a different plastic because they have the little nubs on them to locate your fingers. Key feel is pretty consistent across all keys although it appeared to be beat to heck when I got it. Now that I've cleaned it it actually looks pretty respectable other than the weirdness with the F and J keys that I mentioned above.
Anyway, I like this board but I like my Model Ms and Cherry clears better, I also have a Apple Extended Keyboard II for sale as well if you want to mod this to dampened sliders, I'd be ecstatic if I could sell them both as a package deal because I'm lazy and don't want to have to put together too many shipments.
Make me an offer? Cherry MX-compatible doubleshots, or anything with Cherry clears could tempt me. Also still looking for some more clear keytops for my Cherry POS board. Or white keycaps for a cherry numpad that have the arrows, etc. on them would be nice too.
