So at least there're two variants existing, hall effect and ITW switches respectively? I doubt if we could distinguish from just observing keycaps. 31E05592-D650-4702-9873-0B4EA0606663.jpeg This one has the ITW switches. Honeywell mount, so indistinguishable by caps.

Re: Coolest keyboard find of 2021?
My only keyboard bought in the last two years, so my best and my worst find of 2021 at the same time
The grailiness(?) to scruffiness ratio was too good to resist.
