Hello,

Does anyone know if this Keyboard have Cherry MX Switches?

It looks a bit like this one, but they're not the same.

this is a Cherry 11800 w/ Cherry MX Blacks.
The keycaps seems to be lasered PBT, very nice to type on.

Curious, what tells your trained eye that it's PBT?

It could be a G80-11900 with MX Blacks, but it could also be a G81-11900 with Cherry MY switches.
It is impossible to tell without looking underneath a key cap or the model number on the keyboard's underside.
Both keyboards have the same case, and most of the key caps are the same.

Maybe but atleast they would be the rarer kind.
