What's this? Unknown board with L-shaped Enter

Don't ask me what this is.

Something mechanical by any chance? Should be some Taiwanese mfr.

The cable doesn't look too confidence-inspiring but still...
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

Extremely bad photo. The key lettering looks quite sharp and well defined, so they could be two-shot keycaps. Two-shot keycaps could mean Alps switches, but it's so hard to tell you'd better ask the seller to supply you with more info.

It does feature Windows keys, which usually isn't a good sign.

If you do ask the seller for more pictures see if you can get one of the back.

One other observation if that is the original box then I bet it is a rubber dome board. Why? There is no way a manufacture put a mechanical board in that flimsy box. They are just to heavy. But a rubber dome would be fine they are extremely light

Sellers have removed keys and took a photo for me in the past. It never hurts to ask. And if my opinion counts, I think it looks risky. Be cautious.
