Looks like a Chicony with Cherry MXs, either blue or black.

Also, the big "AT" on the sticker on the bottom might be a clue. ;)

Open her up... perhaps it is switchable.  Is that the same connector [keyboard side] used on the Model M's?

EDIT:  Need to learn to read.  It's AT, nice.  Hope it turns out to be an excellent keyboard.

I asked the seller for a pic with a keycap removed. I haven't seen one like this before.

Those keys look super shiny.
I hope its an old phenol formaldehyde (bakelite) or something.

Ahh, so I was wrong.  It's not a Chicony with Cherry MXs

It arrived today. Switches appear to be linear. Be careful when you pull a keycap. When I tried it the stem came off too and the spring jumped out of the slot. Got everything back together though.
