definitely double shot.

Switches ? donno :/

better ask the seller for pictures of back label, switch and underneath the keycap.

It is not very wise to use the word "definitely" here...

I can't see any labels indicating that the keys are definitely double shots. I should take off my sunglasses :rolleyes: .

You know people don't like finding out that the double shots they are expecting are actually something else, right? It is like buying a G83 and found out that it is actually a rubber dome :clap2:.

Going by the cable and the CTRL keys, I would suggest that its a rebranded/oemed WYSE Extended keyboard, most likely only compatible with terminals.

if it's a rebranded WYSE keyboard, that would mean depending on the year there's a chance that this might be dye sub key caps?

No. All WYSE are double shots made by SP.
