Yet another great find…. And in the EU too ? The GIGACHAD Sony BKE-9400A in really really nice conditions – Cipulot.
As you can guess from Cipulot's activity (e.g. the EC87 post here on kbd.news), this keyboard is an electro-capacitive one.
According to this Deskthority page, the Sony BKE-9400A Editing Keyboard sports Topre switches but was probably not assembled by Topre.

I’ll have fun creating a controller to actually making it usable with modern systems.#Topre #Keyboard pic.twitter.com/oRw9c83aOX
