Good deal, bad deal, or fake?

It's ISO!

Very nice

Whoever wins this, if you want to make up some of the cost of the board, I will trade you money, and my set of SSK caps for the caps on this board that have the blue numpad subprint.

you can ask unicomp if they print you a set of ssk keycaps with that blue subprint. (afaik they can do it) But you have to specifically ask for the blue color, else you only get the standard grey. I know that they did it somewhen in the past. And also I think the caps on that iso board come from unicomp.

So far, the things that I've seen come from their printing lately are off, sometimes very much so.

I recently bought a set of ssk keycaps, and they're perfect. You can't really see a difference to the original sets. But you're right, I don't know why, but it seems they can't print single keycaps correct. They're always off (I just have to look at my geekhack keys or esc keys from them). Seems like they use another process there.

Unicomp produced SSKs for a short time. I believe they just used the back stock of parts they had from Lexmark. See for example:

Why did they stop? When was this?

Because they ran out of THE BACK STOCK OF PARTS THEY HAD FROM LEXMARK?

True And when was it?

I think iMav got the last one just a couple of years ago.

What was the "Canada" marking, weren't they all made in Lexington?

Webwit claims to have purchased the last one from them. The image of the label is linked by myself. Hence the title of "last mini".
