I'm not associated with this in any way, I stumbled upon it this morning while looking for parts for a MAME cabinet. While not a keyboard, it seems as though there exists arcade style buttons that use Cherry MX switches. They're also set up to be able to change switches any time... called GamerFinger: http://www.gamerfinger.com/hbfs30.html

Interesting, I've never heard of cabinet push buttons that weren't linear. I wouldn't even know what switches the ones in my pinball machine uses xD . Probably Cherries would be a lot better though - the feel on those switches isn't all that great xD .

Pinball machines typically just use leaf switches for everything, for what it's worth. Cheap and effective.
