Is this a mech keyboard? Can't find much info on it but I think it looks cool.

Based on the type of connector it uses, I'm pretty sure that this board was created before rubber dome technology existed.

Lots of vintage Epson use Fujitsu leaf springs, which I think feel terrible. I don't know for sure this model.

I asked the seller to pull a cap, and it’s a Fujitsu leaf spring switch, of the “third generation” type.
