Strange board from taobao

I rather doubt it's a Cherry keyboard, even if it's advertised as Cherry.
Never seen a Cherry board with a case shaped that way under the bottom row,
and never seen a Cherry board featuring a stepped ShiftLock with a round diode window on top of the lower step,
i.e. with a diode beneath the switch.
Besides, "G" appears to differ from the usual Cherry font
and "KBA-D2911-GY" as a designation does not follow the usual Cherry pattern.

One would have to take a look at the guts, of course

It is interesting looking especially the Alt keys. Layout is nice, but what language layout is it? I have never seen that one. I'm 98% sure it is not Chery oem, but if it has MX it would be worth getting perhaps.

It's a frankenboard I tell you.

Wow! The Keyboard Oracle really has mighty powers.

Somebody asked him what this keyboard is - he knew the answer:

The key caps are not Cherry Corp. You can see that on the bottom edges being rounded and not sharp.

I bet Cherry MX black switches, which is what TG3 normally uses for keyboards like this.

I think TG3 makes its own keycaps. OEM keyboard can be seen here and here.

After seeing some more specimens with clearer photo I am fairly certain they are SP keycap. There are some that are not straight across horizontally, some legends are crooked vertically, and etc. Looks like SP work to me and we already know SP did the translucent ones for the Decks and Data911. The board itself is still a nice layout though and TG3 are nice quality.

You could be right. Considering your evidence, now you know where the name comes from. Clear signature
