Auction says Cherry MultiBoard G81-7926LUWEU-2, so it is a G81 with MY switches, US-layout with Euro key in black. It also looks like one. Or what do you mean by asking what type?

wondering what kind of switches. More to the point - is it any good?

It has MY switches, like Meltie said.  Most people don't like them.  I have never used them, but others have said they're mushy and stiff, kinda like MX blacks but worse.

Kinda like MX blacks with a sponge instead of a spring. I find them worse than any rubber dome.

CH's Second Axiom: If you see a Cherry-made keyboard on eBay or in regular computer retail stores, the odds are that it is linear.
