It looks a bit like this one, but they're not the same.

this is a Cherry 11800 w/ Cherry MX Blacks.
The keycaps seems to be lasered PBT, very nice to type on.

Curious, what tells your trained eye that it's PBT?

It could be a G80-11900 with MX Blacks, but it could also be a G81-11900 with Cherry MY switches.
It is impossible to tell without looking underneath a key cap or the model number on the keyboard's underside.
Both keyboards have the same case, and most of the key caps are the same.
