New mechanical board on Newegg. I've never seen this board before. Any ideas on switch type?

ML?

Nice looking 'board though. Very compact. Can't exactly agree with that enter key, but placing pgup/pgdn next to it might come in handy.

But hey this is cherry. It could be another one of those phantom MX switches that shows up out of nowhere disguised as a lesser switch.

I imagine there's a lot of competition from people who can do it cheaper.

Also, I don't mind the line. If it didn't have that line, I can see myself saying "hey, this keyboard needs a line somewhere"

what are you talking about?
im saying newegg cant feature a filco, or an MX-based cherry, or topre... not all of those would be sold for less than this, but with all the l337 pro gaymen customers on newegg, a high price might be a selling point.
EDIT i know some of what i listed might already be there, im just talking about them expanding their selection with stuff that generally isnt favored.
