At a German forum they messaged the seller and it asked if he can look up if it's a g81 and not a g83 and if they are SAD or LAD caps and if he burned the switches too, the seller answered in a rude way and didn't want to tell it. As the stems could be damaged and the seller seems a bit fishy (and bank transfer only) I would pass this one.

I love the text:
Haß und Liebe, Genie und Wahnsinn. Glück und Trauer - alles stellt diese Tastatur dar. Für reinen Computerbetrieb nur bedingt zu verwenden. Handsigniert vom Künstler himself.
Love and hate, genius and insanity. Happyness and sadness - this keyboard represents everything. Only partly usuable. Signed by the artist himself.

I just realised that there is no switch picture. So me calling green alps should be ignored here.
What do you base your predictions on Chyros? Date?

As he has several of these boards and as it's listed in the art section and not computer section of ebay, it seems like that he really sees these boards as art and that it was intentional. It's really a shame to do that to a SAD board

No need for predictions Slom because it can "only" have yellow Alps which are not less nice really. A lot of people can tell you that here.

Many stickers have a big, bold letter stamped on them, J in this case. If it's got that letter, it's most likely green Alps, I've found. Although I just came across an exception, this rule has held for every other Z-150 or ZKB-2 board I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them (I'm well into Zenith boards). So it's not a golden rule, but it's pretty good.

Hall effect isn't the easiest to convert, though I haven't tried myself. Apparently some variants work like regular switches though, or so I am told.
What type of full Hall Effect Board are you looking for?
