It's an interesting keyboard, worth 15 euro. It's a clone of IBM buckling spring, but not a close clone.

Thanks for your answer scottc.
It's 15€ + 8€ postal charges.
I'm looking for something cheap but good to start

Oh i had hard time on google to find the modem, i tried to find the same "skin" with the green RedLine "num" "caps" in google images.
So the model of the keyboard is : TK-105M ?
I'll check the review, thanks again.

I have one of these, don't let the cable touch the keys! It will melt them.

A TK-105M! A board with a lot of promise, but somewhat badly executed. They are very inconsistent in feel and bind unbelievably badly, but could be fantastic if given some modding love! Someone needs to go crazy and try out a few things with one of these because I think with the proper modificatiosn this could be a fantastic, lightweight, light-touch, modern version of a Model M

If you're looking for your first vintage mechanical keyboard... try to get a real Model M. It will last a lifetime and I bet it feels ten times better than this board here.
