This keyboard was part of a car wheel alignment system made by Hunter Engineering Company. The sellers are charging about $75 (USD) for it. No idea how much that is in Metric (???) flurpelderps though.

It supposedly has mechanical switches, but I have no idea what kind they are. If you have a similar keyboard or wish to buy this one, please tell me what kind of switches it has. If it is an Alps switch, please tell me what variant it is.

Probably alps clones or even SKBM given it's a rebranded later model datacomp DFK191 Were it winkeyless it might have SKCM white.

wiki/Datacomp_DFK191

Anyone know if the caps are doubleshot? I'll probably grab one if someone can confirm they are.

My gut says pad printed, but the pictures are just small enough that clear coat might just be jpeg artifacting. The fact that the winkeyless model in the wiki is pad printed and made in 1991 makes me nervous.

You should ask the seller for a close up, it's a nice case and the rubber covers are great (I had a Autozone branded Wyse board covered like that and the switches were broken in but also dust free) so if the caps are solid it'd be worth the trouble.

That was my suspicion too

Agreed, highly doubt it's doubleshot, would be cool if they were...
