Cherry MX blacks? Watch out for that flying pig overhead!

Some sellers just don't understand that when they list irresponsibly using whatever keywords they think are more attractive, they are severely misdescribing their stuff and asking for some big trouble from irate buyers.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Why post this in great finds when it's clearly not mechanical?  If you're going to do a warning post, it's better to actually do a write up on recognizing incorrectly identified boards to try and help people avoid stuff like this.

What a hideously ugly keyboard!

Anybody who buys this monstrosity is surely buying it for the ridiculous lighting and the cheap price.

But yes, who knows what made the seller think that it had Cherry switches?
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Ebay perusing, every time a Geekhacker types in "Cherry" within their search engine, this dodgy-arse seller's page will front up and only the newbest out there shall fall for it, by handing over their money.

Not everyone out there can afford a Filco or Leopold so easily these days  8) .

I've reported that seller multiple times for listing practices. They will disappear for a day or two and pop back up again...
