I picked up this keyboard on eBay. It looked too good to be true. It was.
I expected a Dolch PAC keyboard with MX blues.

However, it has switches like this :'(

What kind of switch is that?
-
Cherry ML?

It is ML, and that's a FlexPAC.
-
Dammit! That's totally what it is!
Thanks for being so quick laser & esoomenona

ML is a fun little switch; too bad that so few proper keyboards ever used it.
-
I heard that it felt like an octopus on wet newspaper.

No, that's a Cherry MY switch. The Cherry ML switch feels kind of like a MX Brown but less bumpy, and is harder to press if you press it off-center.

I see, sounds like something interesting to try, and I'd think that the boards with them aren't too expensive, either.

There seems to be quite a few who have tried Cherry ML and liked it.
There is no Dolch keyboard with Cherry MX and trackpad. Some with trackpoint above the numeric keypad, though.

Cherry ML ~~
always too good to be true on ebay ;)

Indeed it is Cherry ML, and this is one of very few 'fullsize' standard layout that use ML.
-
Yeah. Most ML keyboard have keys that are a bit smaller than standard.
