This is a spill-resistant keyboard by SIIG with brightly coloured keys.  The listing says 'clicky' but doesn't say what kind of switches.

I've sent a message on Ebay suggesting the seller pop off a keycap, since he has more than ten of them for sale.

Awesome keyboard.  Wonder what others would say if I used one of those at work.

My guess is RD, given that it'll only last 10M keystrokes and is completely spill resistant.

No keyswitch info, here, but some exciting facts:

I dunno, the fact that it's by SIIG and has the same big AT-style Enter key and oddly positioned \ key as their ALPS/Monterey Minitouch keyboard makes me wonder whether it dates from the era before SIIG switched to rubber domes (and presumably a more standard layout).  The only way to know for sure is if someone buys one - I would, but international shipping is about twice the price of the item.

You should come and live here in Australia, here we all get royally 'raped' by shipping charges.  But then again we chose to stay here far, far away from the rest of the world.

Then again it's still way cheaper than to fly over to where it's being sold and to pick it up personally, hence I don't mind the postal costs when they're reasonable for that type of item.
