Title: I found a weird yellow switch keyboard from the 90s

As shown in the pics above it has yellow switches which i was able to
identify as https://deskthority.net/wiki/Taiwan_jet_axis

However the weird thing is that the board and switches it has it is mismatched
by the enclosure it is in.

As seen here https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3b3b2n/help_ive_found_an_old_dytcom_k160_keyboard/
the enclosure belongs to a k160 with cherry blue switches
while my keyboard enclosure should be like this https://klikkyklik.wordpress.com/category/klik/page/3/

Anyone can explain it ?

Maybe someone swapped the switches in it...

They are smooth as retooled switches but have some inconsistency.

Looks like Taiwan Jet Axis yellow.

You got lucky on the ones you've tried, then. The "Aristotle Yellows" that I've tried are by far the worst switch I've ever used, it's almost unusably scratchy.
