Those cases are brittle, be careful about those little wings on the side !

PBT spacebar and/or magnificently yellowed case?

I don’t know Bull boards so that may well be the original colour. But the bit about it being extra brittle is consistent with extensive yellowing. Plastics tend to be weaker when exposed to UV and heat for many years.

Great looking keyboard. What's under the hood?

I have a BTC that's yellowed like that. It almost looks really nice when it's even like this, like caramel.

I think the difference comes from the grades used on keycaps/case. The case must be a lower grade.

yup, though it's present on a few other boards, always thought it was weird to see pad prints over the LED window "kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it :lol:

Good old Cherry MX Blacks, plate mounted. And a single Cherry MX Linear Grey under the spacebar :D

oh actually, something of note I forgot to mention : despite the Bull branding, the keycaps' colourway isn't the same as the Buul G80-0606 and G80-0695 I showcased a few years back. It's more Goupil-coloured.
