I know Mitsumi made switches for other keyboards (e.g. Apple Extended II) but I don't know if they ever put them in their own keyboards and I couldn't see anything that looked like this particular model. Does anyone know what it is and whether it's any good?

First time I've seen keys more yellowed than the case. (Hmm, or maybe not... I think the same happens on the original MS Natural.) Guess they're from ABS then. That would be an odd match with mechanical switches if you ask me.
