Seller claims it's unlabeled. it might have colored stickers on the modifier keys. the only other distinctive things I noticed was the tiny backspace key, the body curves and is relatively small. it also comes with a plastic dust cover and AT style plug.

Yep this is the only picture, horrible quality

Could well be some flavour of Chicony. Need a picture of the back, and one with the keycap removed.

If it wasn't for the large Enter key and the small Backspace key, I would say that it is a rubber dome by NMB. NMB was an OEM for many brands. The curvature, front, spacing between clusters and the width of the borders all match.

Who knows? Maybe it is an NMB. There are some at the library in my town so maybe I'll pop in there sometime and look at the keyboards again (They also got Model M's and some other mechanicals with the "Space Invaders" switches.

I think that is an nmb. I have an nmb rubber dome that looks like it has the identical case.  It's a great rubber dome if it is actually the same one.

The curves strongly remind me of old (and pretty good) HP rubber domes - maybe these were made by nmb?

Yeah i spent some time looking at nmb board pictures and I found some close but nothing that was a sure match. I will post the ebay link up in the appropriate section.
