It has Cherry blacks.  It will be good for gaming, but probably not the best for typing since the Cherry black switches are stiff and linear; YMMV, though.  They seem to be well-built, so if it looks like it's your thing, jump on it.  It just all depends on what you want to do with it.

Previously discussed here.  Sounds like Cherry MX (18k gold-plated, 50 million keystrokes, etc), blacks or maybe browns ("The mechanical tactile system is ergonomically designed to ensure ease-of-use, while the no-click switches...")

Taiwanese keyboard manufacturer thing. Allows them to use the same PCB layout in both ISO and ANSI regions.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D
