I’m guessing clicky black space invaders given the ebay description, but it’s hard to be sure.

Seems a bit expensive, in the recent past there have been some brand new NMB RT8756C boards for about half the price, same switches.

I have seen basically no standard ANSI layout ones, anywhere. They all have bigass enter keys, which many people seem to dislike.

Ah yeah, you are right... this also has a real backspace key which is probably equally as important. Although the stepped keys probably need to be switched out before any serious typing happens :)

They don't really affect typing that much. If you're hitting that extreme edge of the key like that you're doing it wrong.

Great find jacobolus!
