I'm sorry to write in English, but I don't speak Korean. You can reply in Korean, but please do not use complicated words, because I have to use an automatic translation.
This is my Unicomp Endurapro. It was produced on 2008-08-19 with unprinted keys and ISO layout (105 keys). The unprinted keys were a special request by me, but Unicomp is a small company, so this was possible :)
The layout (105 keys, big Return key). It also has a "Stick mouse"

This is my first* mechanical** keyboard. I really like it and use it most of the time. It uses Buckling Spring technology for the keys. It's very loud and the sound reminds me of work ^^. The "stick mouse" is not very good, it needs too much force and moves slowly. The Trackpoint on my Thinkpad is much better, but the Endurapro's stick mouse is still okay if you just want to click on something without taking the hands off the keyboard. Most keys are one-piece keys, but they are unprinted, so it doesn't really matter.
It weighs 1560 g and is very stable. Build quality is not as good as the old IBM Model M, but still great.
*Actually, this is my second mechanical keyboard. The first was the old (with white ALPS) one I learned to type on.
**I know buckling springs are not "mechanical switches," because they use a conductive sheet to register keypresses instead of single switches.
I have the old OEM keyboard with white Alps (I don't have it here right now, so I can't tell you exactly, but it does have white Alps), a Cherry G80-3000LSCDE-2 with blue MX (but I swapped springs, so I think they're green MX now), two Cherry G80-3000LAMDE-0 with black MX and the Unicomp Endurapro. I bought a IBM Model M2 and an Epson Q203A off ebay, they should arrive next week :)
I have two buckling keyboards. one is saver (or tenkeyless) model M (IBM) the other is full layout (Unicomp model M). In my little experience, Unicomp was better than IBM.:) Whenever I watched buckling keyboard, I reminded a memory. When I was a graduate student for the Doctor degree, my adviser used IBM model M. Still I remember the feeling and noisy sound of that. I was immediately fall in love of model M. Honestly I was poor at that time. I just dreamed.:)
I bought my Endurapro after thinking about it for a long time. It's quite expensive to start with and shipping ($50) doesn't help. Then there's tax (19% VAT in Germany) on top of everything, so it was really expensive and I pondered almost a year (and then finally bought it when the US$ was low ^^). Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I never typed on a Model M before, I just read about the feel being nice and I liked the sound--it could have been a complete disaster, but I was just curious to try it. And when it finally arrived and unpacked it and tried it out for the first time, I just knew this was the perfect keyboard for me.
The only problem is it's too big for my backpack, so I can't take it everywhere... that's why I'd really like a Space Saver. At the moment, I'm researching the options for buying a Filco Zero Tenkeyless without paying more than 200%, but no one seems to have it ... :(
Don't you feel inconvinience because of it's unprinted keys? Cause I really can't imagine keys without printing~
I especially ordered the keyboard with unprinted keys (the normal version has printed keys, but Unicomp will sell you an unprinted version if you ask). I think it looks great ^^. I don't feel any inconvenience; I don't need letters on my keys, I know where each one is. It's a bit inconvenient when standing and having to type a password, but as soon as I sit down, this is no problem at all.

It looks very nice!!
I like unprinted key cap....^^
One of my favorites is 'Buckling', too.
But yours seems to be better than mine.
I think you're asking if this is a cherry switch? It's not. It's an IBM "Buckling Spring" switch. It is hard to press and very loud, but I like it ^^ and so do many other people.
Are you american or english?
