Alcatel-Lucent 4059 USB Keyboard

It's kind of pricey, but it has some cool caps and is likely MX Blacks based on ones I've seen in the past, but it could be Browns or Clears too.

Oh I saw that and said "nope" at the price.

Looks like it went for best offer : $160.

anyone here..?

Yeah, the price is a big nope, but it's a cool board.

With those ridiculous shift keys, I hope no one has to type capital letters on that thing.

Otherwise, neat.

I work in an ex Alcatel-Lucent facility, too bad they probably threw all these away when we moved in

I think you're supposed to rapidly doubletap capslock sean wrona style.

Colorway is baller on those... too bad the layout is so zany. Hell, I didn't even hold onto my set and I paid like a quarter that price. Maybe one of these days we can groupbuy the colorway on a set that makes sense for most modern boards.

Yeah, the colourway is great. I would love to see it done properly. The G81-3205HAU is almost perfect, but it has some 'special' keys [including the caps/ctrl] which are supposedly horrible pad printed caps not made by Cherry.

Not sure why those would be pad printed (though they did things like that for no apparent reason) when doubleshots existed for those... not sure about the Option key though, never seen that elsewhere.

They weren't made by Cherry. It wasn't Cherry being needlessly odd [for once]. There's a picture of the underside, which looks completely different from any Cherry keycaps, but I can't find it..
