Hi. I was at Google Patents and found this cool and also weird capactive switch:

Isn't lovely? Looks so simple and stupid. I bet it feels a bit like SKCC.

looks very much like foam and foil i guess that was just a cheaper way to do it

Does this precede beamsprings? If so, was this Keyboard A?

Interestingly, it was patented a year after the beamspring. I don't know of any keyboard with that kind of switches.
