Title: Can you identify this keyboard?

Hey,

Can't see whats under the keycap but do you think is there a chance that this keyboard might be mechanical? Thank you!!

I very much doubt it.

Googled the part# and got a hit on cool3c but on my phone so can’t translate and see if it’s relevant.

According to the FCC ID it was made by Tai Hao (https://fccid.io/GOGAPC-21) so it's probably one of these (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Tai-Hao_APC_semi-mechanical_keyboard).

Windows keys are usually a good sign a keeb isn't mechanical. (The Dell AT-101W [Alps Black] is the only commonly seen MK with Win keys.)

Another clue is the big word SOFT on the back. That'd usually refer to a "soft touch" board—meaning quiet, meaning non-mechanical.
