Hi,

Do you know who manufactured this keyboard?
It's mechanical?
Worth to buy?

You are right!
Foam and foil switches!

Thank you!

Just be aware that the foam degrades over time and after some decent use those switches feel awful

BTC 5060 with foam-and-foil switches. The keycaps could be Cherry MX-compatible.

I will not buy this keyboard, I want only mechanical keyboards. By now I'm verry happy with my Chicony E8H5IKKB-5191.

This keyboard does not have compatibility with Cherry MX switches.
But good to know, that some are compatible!

Anyway thank you for advices!
