DSI Keyboards DCK-101 (though mine is the older model, SMK-101). It's an out-of-production financial keyboard with Cherry MX Blues. The idea is the two halves can be swapped around, depending on which part you use the most. The previous owner of my board had the half with the touchpad and numpad at the bottom, probably since they were entering a lot of numbers, and the switches on that half are so worn out they barely even clicketyclack anymore.

It's cool 'cause you get the ergonomic benefits of a 60% board, but you still get to have a numpad and a command block if you want them.

According to the customer service rep from DSI I contacted when I was trying to find this board, your only options are either order at least 500 of them and they'll do a new production run for you, or get lucky on eBay.

how was it shipped? depending on the carrier (and if the seller is on the ball) filling a lost claim really isn't that bad

i actually bought this before getting my wasd because someone told me das keyboard was good, and maybe it is if you cough up the dough for the high end model, but this one is not.

the ruler-as-footbar sucks rear end first of all, it's a janky piece of brittle plastic that attaches to the keyboard using magnets, so of course it does not stay firmly in place. and because it's hard plastic, it doesn't grip the desk either, so the loving keyboard slides around at the slightest touch. you can't even use it as a ruler because it's red-on-red so you can't read the markings! thankfully without it the rubber pads work great, but then you have no angle to your keyboard...

the greetech switches are fine, i can just barely tell the slightest difference between them and my cherry browns. i could see someone preferring either one. greetechs are super cheap in bulk though, so even the $80 sale price actually includes a bunch of markup, presumably for the das "brand". and the keycaps are poo poo, i don't know if that fat black background is part of some special anti-UV pad printing tech or what, but it looks and feels cheap as hell.

the aluminum top panel is really solid, you can grab it with two hands and twist, it will not flex at all. that's probably the keyboard's best quality though. so unless you have a set of good keycaps to put on and you want to try greetech switches, i can't recommend it.
