And even though they say "Used", the switch photo implies these are exceptionally clean:

Wonder if they're all actually like that? I'd ask.

I must agree with the seller's enthusiasm for Monterey Blues. They're not quite as crisply clicky as Alps SKCM Blues (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCM_Blue), but they're highly underappreciated.
