is this cherry MX?
and are the caps pad-printed? kind of looks like it. still, if cherry MX switches, it looks kinda nice for $25. perhaps not for the caps.

You would grab it for the caps actually, since it is WoB 1800, and I believe that Sifo just saw one within the past 2 days, and I think he said it was MX. If it isn't MX, then it is MY, which is still MX cap compatible.

looks like an elbowglue SPOS to me. MX usually (usually.)

I have the version without the TP and was absolutely not impressed. The passport reader is kinda cool though.

I'd say it's probably worth $25 as it's a pretty solid board. The PCB is bolted through the plastic case to the controller. Metal back plate.

Does not appear to be doubleshot. The "ALT" sure isn't. Everything else sure looks lasered or pad to me. The \| is upside down.

And yeah, they are pad printed, so I guess not worth it unless you really want the caps for a layout

It's a decent KB to actually use. I'd still be using mine if it were better than 2KRO.

Overall I prefer the ricercar though.
