The keyboard looks similar to a IBM model f at but I am not one hundred percent convinced that this is even made by IBM, may I get some help confirming this keyboard manufacturer and if possible the switches?

Definitely not IBM, looks like it is probably foam and foil based on LED placement.

The keycaps look like Signature Plastic's DCS profile, so maybe MX type switches or switches with MX crossmount?

Actually it looks like it might be foam and foil with MX sliders, I found another board from the same series that appears to actually be MX.
Of course this is completely speculation since these are the only photos I can find.

Huh perhaps those are the ones used in this board. Have no idea what those switches are, though I'd assume some kind of linear switch like SMK or Mitsumi.

Its a rubber dome, tactile with removable sliders that are cherry mx compatible.

What do the 1-unit LED switches look like?

Thanks for sharing, I always wondered what switches these had. I almost picked one up but didn't want to make the gamble.

The switches are very tactile but the bump is longer similar to other switches like topre, its a lot quieter than cherry mx browns, its weighting feels similar to mx brown, a bit heavier. Overall a good tactile rubber dome switch. I like these switches better than the model m with buckling springs over membrane that I tried recently.

Oh, of course, this probably uses a PCB inside, so having LEDs within keys isn't difficult. Fujitsu had special LEDs that connected to the matrix for the FKB4700, to allow in-key LEDs to operate from a membrane.
