"Inves" labeled BTC 5349 for 57€ (45+shipping) - Good or bad?

[Nikkō]

Found on a Spanish trading site, seems to be a BTC 5349 labeled "Inves". Not the greatest condition apparently, at least in the yellowing department. Couldn't find much info googling, only what's on the Deskthority wiki. It's apparently some sort of capacitive switch with Cherry MX keycap mount. Is this any good?

LOL I guess suddenly there's a new market for old "BTC" keyboards....I wonder if there were ever any keyboards that said "Litecoin" or "Ether" on them?

They look like BTC domes with sliders to me (speaking of the DT wiki). They're considered good RD switches, though. Chyros has been positive about them in his reviews and comments. To paraphrase him from that video I just linked to (I love quoting the greats):

I like them... I think they're nice. But don't go spending a serious amount of money on these. The point of these boards is that they are cheap—and while they're good for such cheap boards, if you shell out for them, you'd have to compare them to really serious players on the mechanical market.

They're probably comparable to IBM's post-mechanical KB-* boards—which are plentiful on eBay, and also among the better RD's. But they're still RDs.
