I don't imagine the switches in this are anything special (scissor (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Scissor_switch), at best?). But at $19.99 + shipping, and being so specialized, I thought it might interest a few of y'all.
It's ortholinear (https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7528&start=), BTW, not orthogonal as the seller claims.

Cherry ML if I remember correctly...

Fortunately, the ortholinear layout is so revolutionarily efficient, you could have Futabas (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47864.0) in there (or even Peerlesses (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Fujitsu_Peerless)!) and it wouldn't matter, right?

If I could put some 3rd Gen FLS switches in this monstrosity, I'd be on it in a heartbeat!

It's PS2? Pick yourself up a PS2 to USB converter from Hasu and you'll be golden!

Nope,it's usb,a usb to usb converter would probably work,I'm leaning towards eventually grabbing another set of BFO-9000 pcb's and some Kailh Choc Jades to make it a much nicer board.

Hasu does sell a USB to USB! And good to know, please post if and when you do the conversion!

I love how the middle row almost says "DON'T READ THIS".

Goofy how they photographed an unused product against a clearly used background, isn't it? Marketing's such a subtle art.

Well, I'm glad this post didn't get much attention. I've been looking for one of these for the better part of 2018.

I didn't initially see the quantity. Most of the time these have been listed it was a single unit.

It's great when we get chances to buy the keeb stuff we want—but there's nothing wrong with occasionally being showered with them, is there?
Amazon even has a nice selection of keyboard-related shower curtains (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=computer+keyboard+shower+curtain&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Acomputer+keyboard+shower+curtain) that would be just right for the occasion, for example:
