Found me a Nokia Data 1051-1007 KBU. I think that's the type indication, there's also "KDT 235 01/007 R1A" on the bottom. Can't find much about it online. Seems to have come from a government institution in the Netherlands or Belgium. The keyboard is nice to the touch, but it aint clicky.

Anybody know more about it?

Care to record a typing demo?

I recorded a little type session here: http://pixelambacht.nl/dump/typey.mp4 (14MB)

This keyboard is for sale. I ship worldwide from the Netherlands, in case you're interested. I'm aiming for anything between €25 and €2,000,000 (hey, one can hope, right?)

Tricky tricky.

Not letting viewers see the side of the keyboard with Enter and Backspace to determine its layout.

@fohat Why can't you see the enter and backspace?

the switch is well, different to say the least, haven't seen circular mounts since Oki gourd springs.
is it tactile?

They are linear switches and pretty bad ones. Quite bad rough/scratchy feel. I have an Ericsson keyboard with same switches.

They do excel in stabilisers. The best stabilised large keys that I have tried. Large keys mount on two switches. One of them usually a dummy switch that has just the mount, but no internal contacts/mechanism. This makes them really, really well stabilised. You can pretty much get those large keys down evenly by pressing any area in any edge or corner. Exception is the space bar that comes with regular type wire stabilisers, but even those are really good wire stabilisers.

Yeah, they're linear, not tactile. But these don't feel rough at all. I mean, not the satisfying clickyness of a proper switch but they type quite smoothly.
