Title: Which switch is this, and is it any good?

Came across a big lot of boards with these in them and was wondering if they are worth buying? Price comes out to about $4.50 per board if that helps... It looks like old style Cherry, but want to be sure.

Haha, looks like an old cherry switch to me.  Back in the day cherry colors didn't necessarily correspond to a model number.

Are you looking to put these back up on the marketplace?  I have a feeling they don't have a whole lot of resale value.  You might end up doing a great deal of work for marginal profits dude!

True enough. I was kind of weighing the pros and cons. They also have some funky orange keycaps, with huge centered legends. Non standard layout, that pic is of the keypad enter, which is a reverse bigass style. Looks like at plugs, but may be xt... Strange looking boards, kind of remind me of old atari in style. Label says Nuvo. If the caps weren't all the same profile, I would probably be more inclined as the doubleshots alone might have been worth it.
