Yeah I guess I did make that a bit impenetrable
The switches question is an interesting one when it comes to this keyboard - it doesn't have any! At least not in the conventional sense, there are literally no electrical contacts like normal switches. Instead it has a grid of capacitive sensors in the base so it can look through the key caps and 'see' where your fingers are . That's how it can function with only 4 big buttons on each hand.
There are no springs either, the keys action is driven by magnets. Gives it a very nice buttery smooth action and the way the magnets latch has a hint of IBM Model M buckling spring feel to it.
When you say 'hmmm, what is next-gen keyswitch tech', this is it right here.
I do like a good mechanical though, my last was a CM Quickfire Rapid with MX Browns and small O-rings, basically about as much 'mech' as I can get away with in a quiet workplace.
Strangely I'm actually using this little portable keyboard as my main desktop keyboard now. I like it that much.
