Chicony KB-5981 $28.50 OBO + shipping

Should be Monterey Blues.  I'm not a huge fan of Chicony build quality, but the switches are nice.

Like all Chicony boards, these are a roll of the dice. Beyond Alps-mount SMK (“monterey”) switches, they might also be Alps clones, awful MX clones, MX-mount Futabas, or who knows what. Ask the seller to pull a cap if you want to be sure before purchase.

(e.g. here was one with the terrible MX clones https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61812)
