I took the pictures under natural light but my phone is a bit flattering also. They definitely look like 80ish colors and not as shiny. Though the keycaps were a bit dirty and needed a good cleaning. Also the price of 80 Euros and my yet little experience deter me in buying it. Yet I am sure that if ...

"Unfortunately" I am sure it is a US switch, probably https://deskthority.net/wiki/Clare-Pendar_Series_S880 All the case has english video editing text around keys and the brand is American. I was hoping the keycaps were Cherry MX compatible but very unlikely, yet eager to push the keys and see.

Ahah no it's not mine but I see it tomorrow. You probably have the picture in front of you then Myoth :D . It is indeed a video editing board from a French TV company who is branded under a name that has been changed around 2 decades ago. So this keyboard is probably from the 80's.

I am very new to keyboards. I have a Topre that I like and diving into oldies on websites. This keyboard is really lovely, very nice spherical keycaps. I was thinking of doing something with it but it looks like something way above me for now.
The keyboard is indeed ISO FR but the brand is American ...

It looks like a Sasse series 25, though the cross in the middle is not ...

I have seen this keyboard for sale on a local ad site and was wondering if the conversion to USB was difficult to do. I have little knowledge of these old keyboards and not really sure what a Teensie or a Soarer is ..
