Looks like a Capacitive contacts with coil spring switch, but don't quote me on the info as my eye-sight is deteriorating.

Knowing Goldstar, they're probably just rubber domes with a spring for added feel.

Yep - it's a rebranded BTC 5339.

Sooo. No one has bought it now. Capacitive != invariably good?

If you don't like strange layouts, I'd be careful about buying it if I were you.

Nope, if that's a capacitive keyboard, then it's a foam and foil one... Which are worse than rubber domes by all accounts.

...except for rollover capabilities. Some of these are still treasured by musicians. I'd expect typing feel to be similar to Cherry MYs though... or maybe even worse?

I almost bought this keyboard, but beware!  RNS-auctions has had trouble sending people the proper keyboard, I would know, they did it to me twice.  Also, the keyboards are always really dirty and disgusting.

Nope.  I got a "great condition, fully functional" chicony with one of the spacebars broken...  never got a response back.   Ended up keeping it (since I couldn't ever get a response), and fixing it.... traded it for a NIB Omnikey :)  also beware, they list real ALPS as "[x color] sliders" and sever non-ALPS switches as ALPS.

I found an AT clone keyboard with what Im pretty sure were these switches in a skip... Mushy linear feel... I just chucked it back in.

spongy and mushy like a bad rubber dome.
