The last two are identical. I know I've seen such a beast before. Maybe Mtek/Monterey?

Actually the exact same board was listed about a week ago, same seller:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330388660569&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT

I was bidding on it but did not win it. Its likely that the seller has a friend or something outbidding you until he reaches the price he wants.

Aside from it being an AT board, hmm. Judging from key color, NMB perhaps?

Could be. Now do I feel motivated to play Chicony switch lottery...?

EDIT: I did. Now let's hope I got lucky.

If the bidder submits a Maximum Bid, can the Seller SEE the amount ?

Any chance for a (short) review?  I'm highly curious about those rare
Marquardt boards.

I'll see if I can post some pics. The layout is standard and the switches have been described already. The box it came in is interesting though as it shows several other models including an ergo one with a trackball in the middle.

Here's a Commodore KPQ-E99YC. My Google search indicates it's a rebranded Mitsumi. Does anybody know what kind of switches they have?

Rubber dome (and not very good at that, IIRC).

I have the Mitsumi version.

Avoid AT ALL COSTS.

Very welcome.

The Mitsumi version is AT/XT switchable and uses a somewhat unique type of rubber sleeves if I recall correctly. It has cylindrical sliders which themselves have no spring or rubber dome...the dome goes around the slider and pushes the keycap itself back up.

They're mush and bind easily.

MIGHT have a detail or two about the construction off a bit, it's been a while since I've even seen the thing. Photographic breakdown, anyone?
