Haha it is a very compact design, especially the function row, hence the name Minitouch. Some key placements are a bit weird but its easy to get used to it.

Oh no, these are vintage boards with mechanical switches. Most vintage boards used to have L shaped enter keys 😂

It seems to be an alps clone, but Im not very sure which exact brand it is. But from what I got from googling it seems to be a Xiang Min KSB series switches. Feels pretty similar to white alps, but a bit heavier and more tactile.
