Hi there, i've just recently got into mechanical keyboards through the youTube channel of the brilliant man Thomas aka Chyrosran22. I have stumbled upon this picture of a keyboard going on sale. I only can recognise the most common brands of switches, hence this looks really puzzling to me. Could anyone give me a hint what keyboard and switch manufacturer/model it could be? Or maybe this is just domes with sliders?

In the Deskthority Wiki, this one is called Mitsumi miniature mechanical (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Mitsumi_miniature_mechanical).
It is a somewhat rare switch.
I have seen similar-looking keyboards from Nan Tan ("NTC") in Taiwan.
It is most likely a NTC KB-6251EM (https://deskthority.net/wiki/NTC_KB-6251). That variety looks just like it and is known to have come with this switch.

Amazing! It would take ages for me to run through all the switch brands in the wiki, and there i just get the answer like that. Thank You so much.
Apart from that it seems that i'm out of luck here, as there's a video review for a keyboard with these units by Chyrosran22 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylMT8jg6EFI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylMT8jg6EFI).
He rated it as borderline usable, which sadly means i'm still yet to find a nice keyboard. It could be that with these caps the switches work better, but i don't know if it's worth trying.

Don't get it. They're honestly pretty ****ing awful xD . Glad you're liking the videos though :) .

Well now my doubt is gone! And the videos are just pure delight.
