Those are often re-branded Cherry g81 boards with MY switches, not mechanical. A model number would be handy to make sure.

Its REALLY hard to make out, but looks like g82-3000 which is just rubberdomes. The keycaps won't be mx compatible either, probably not worth the 45 minute trip.

MY switches are mechanical.

Just not very good ones.

You know that 99% of people are not looking for my switch when asking if it's mechanical. I'll still class it as a rubberdomes, regardless if it has a hammer / spring mechanism in it or not.
