Don't have the keyboard but THIS has always bugged me.

Especially the non-ALPs compatible ones. Looks like the light blue buckling rubber dome one far right is a Mitsumi.

what switches?

The Alps compatibles looks same as these on the Apple IIgs (A9M0330) keyboard. Mitumis, Monterey variation?

I think I'm gonna drag out my Chicony 5181 with Montery and take pics because I just noticed the letters on the side of the switch.

Yes.

Yes. Apple's ADB keyboards varied much, even within the same model.

Indeed. Quickies done without tripod, proper lighting and post-process. I have the hands of Shake!
