Can anyone ID this Quimax vintage switch?

Its a very strange plugger switch with Cherry MX compatiable keycaps.

So far have found very little about it except it was made by a company call Quimax in the mid 80's and came with their PX-22 monitor.

Only have this ad for reference.

See http://deskthority.net/wiki/USw_EXBB01

That's the first time anyone's ever mentioned it being Cherry MX compatible, that I am aware of.

If that's true of all them, then the switch should be reclassified as USw EMBB01

Inductive.

Correct. Check out mousefan's keyboard of similar properties:

Of this exact keyboard, I believe it's the same as this one HaaTa has:
