I don't normally post SSKs, since they usually get bid to ridiculous levels in the last few seconds making them non-great finds.

However, this has very collectible keycaps. GREEN sublegends and all kinds of weird symbols!
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Interesting, I have one from the exact same date, same part no and same pit no. But mine doesn't have that green sublegends.

I have a set of these airline reservation keycaps. I use them at work and they are pretty nice!

Since there is no embedded numberpad, I wonder if they bought the spare set from clickykeyboards.

Ended at $316.79 + $15 shipping.

Hmm...is it possible that this is just a normal SSK with those airline keycaps? This was the SSK model that tinlong was selling a while ago on DT.

That it is my friend  8) .  There are always those that think swapping out caps will get them a higher price, and YES it has worked perfectly.
