Had a look through the ytwiki, couldn't find this style of Cherry switch:
Thanks!

That's the board for sale in Aus right? I think the stems are snapped off if you look at one of the other pics. Not sure what it is though

Could be some type of Cherry M5 switches. The keycaps seem to be Cherry Sphericals.

It's something from the Cherry M5/6/7 family. I've got some of those but with black DPST sliders and the branding machined off. They're RS-branded but don't have the RS part number printed on them, sadly.

What's interesting is that I was looking at the photos of mine the other day (in my photo backlog) and I was thinking that the machined-away writing looked like it might spell "CHERRY" but only if the writing was the wrong way up.

Lo and behold, the "CHERRY" branding on yours is fact the opposite way up to my other switches.
