Hiya guys, anyone know what this is? It's a dome with slider design, and it accepts Alps caps, though the caps that come with it have wider bars than normal Alps mount.

Looks like there’s a spring involved there.

Anyway, there are many many rubber dome, rubber sleeve, or spring over membrane designs that nobody has bothered to catalog, because they’re usually pretty uninspiring to type on, so nobody collects them.

You can probably figure out who made it if you take the keyboard apart and look at the PCB, etc.

Thing is, I'm sure I've seen these before in a thread or in the wiki somewhere, but I can't find them back for the life of me and I haven't the faintest idea what they were. Yeah, there's a spring in there, the construction is in fact almost exactly the same as Fujitsu Peerless.
