One of the ugliest boards I've seen.

The same seller has lots of other cool stuff, including a Cherry keyboard (220994946700), a USB-powered drink cooler (220994873962) and this tasteful solid 24ct gold 'time computer' (380391733876).

I've got one with a touchpad. It's horrible. Switches feel nasty (don't want to give a proper description as I'd have to prise it out of the cupboard). Keys are smaller than standard.

Is it really cherry ML? I thought those were the low profile ones like on the G84's. Maybe it's MY, and that's why no-one likes it.

Oh, do some come with ml switches? I'm not sure what mine are.. Suppose I'll have to drag it out now.

Those keycaps aren't low profile enough to be MLs (at least they don't look like it).

I certainly can't imagine ML feeling at all nice without low profile keycaps, but it could be I guess.

The rectangular keycaps probably means it isn't MY, anyway.

These keyboards are painful to type on. Keys are oddly shaped with a large rise. I'd have to pull the cap to check but I don't think these switches are ML considering how crappy this feels.

I almost feel sorry for the police officers who use them.

I believe that they're MEI key switches with Cherry MX compatible stems, but non standard key cap sizes (about 2/3rds height).

They're linear and stiff - like heavier MX blacks.

I don't really like them, but I'm more of an MX brown person.
