Seller confirmed it had Cherry MX keyswitch. I was thinking about it myself, but the bigass enter kind of kills it for me.

Cool.  I saw that one and just assumed it was montereys.  And I have bought like one too many pee yellow keyboards, :(  There was a time I would have bought it but I have some good cherry blue keyboards and a NIB KB-5181 with monterey switches but maybe a good buy for someone.

I ended up getting this board... I am planning on attempting a PCB mod to have real ansi enter, \ and 2x unit backspace... if it turns out in disaster I still end up with a not too bad price on a bunch of 'vintage' blue switch I suppose. I will likely sell the keycaps from it as well if anyone might be interested in them.
