Insert key legend deemed to be too risqué.

G86-61410EUADA​A (yeah, I know). I needed something to hold me over until I found something proper (which might be a while), and it was going for a rather good price brand new. Lots of programmable keys = niec.

I like its layout and how it's so customizable. I might get one someday. What switches does it use?

Need Keyboard Dog to counterbalance.

Dome. Rather different feeling than any other dome keyboard I've used so far, though, but YMMV. I don't mind it that much, but I'm not the greatest typist either.

Are its keys sticky? Or are they smooth? Because I've got little against a decent rubber dome keyboard.

I don't know but it seems to be using Cherry ME-ME switches.

The keys are quite firm with little wobble, and spring back up fast and smooth, partially owing to the "keying" of the keycap stem, and some sort of light grease coating. The keys themselves are slightly concave in the middle from all four sides, and have a rather soft feel to them that is not at all unpleasant. Actuation around 60-65g as per nickel stacking.

There's a somewhat related review here (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6658). For some reason I recall reading a review of my exact board somewhere on the forums as well, but I can't find it anymore.

That's the F1 key. Very old inside joke in a gaming clan of mine, where someone in distress typoed help a few times :p
