Looks like a rubber dome + plunger, but the design is interesting ...

Anyone have any idea about this funky looking switch in a Philips keyboard?

Kinda cool actually. But yeah, the long centre on the caps looks like a plunger and those clips around it are very reminiscent of rubberdomes like on Apple's early 2000s desktop boards. Haven't seen 4 of them per cap, however. Seems well engineered!
The cap profile is interesting too.

Edit: Idiot that I am, I just realized that the listing says "rubber domes". Still, would like to hear about it if anyone has tried these particular ones.

Anyone could confirm the switches? Seems kinda magnetic or related of sort?

Unfortunately I don't have much info but it's from an old Roseville Operations Computer with integrated keyboard.

FWIW, that guy on ebay has been trying to sell those keyboards for at least two months, if not more. So, if you were looking for an approximate value, I wouldn't use that ad as a guide.Lalaland124 wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 16:45True!

What is that switch?
Switch and Double-shot Keycap

I know the following about it:

I know the following about it:
- The calculator is made by brother in japan and has the following model no.: 121DN
- Switch cannot be newer than 1977, since the calculator design is from 1977
- Switch is linear
- Switch feels damped like Cherry MX Silent Red
- Switch smoothness feels a bit more smooth than a cherry mx red, almost like a pre-lubed Kailh speed silver
If I put the keypad/keyboard next to my ear, I can hear some friction like cherry mx or other mechanical switches - Switch weighting is around 40gf to 50gf I think.
- Switch is normally pressed and the external coil spring pushes the slider with the keycap out, so it comes depressed.
- Switch mount is not MX compatible
- Switch mount is vintage T mount alps compatible

Does Anyone know what switch type this is? It's from a data general board but looks very weird.

Those are ALPS SKFF switches. that explains why caps on later Silver Reed typewriters are compatible with that mount

Yeah, I have one of these too. Probably one of the nicer domes I've used (I think the fact the membrane is metal-backed helps with this a lot)

has anyone seen anything like this?
these are the actual switches themselves - but the top of the case has stem adapters mounted to it, which press on the actual switch, which seem to be microswitch sd mount..
the board is for a terminal which seems to come up under IP-1548/G
if there are any pictures that would be helpful, let me know. i can provide more.

That thing looks TEMPEST rated,so I'm going to guess it was added for EM shielding to prevent stray currents in the switch matrix.schwi wrote: ↑28 Jun 2021, 10:11has anyone seen anything like this?

Are these plate springs? I looked through the wiki and didn't see anything that had this exact look but plate spring was the closest
