Title: Any keyboards in real life that make this sound?

Very nice sounding keyboard in my opinion...clicky but not hissy like a Filco Cherry Blue.  Presumably Capcom sampled an actual keyboard to get the sounds for the game, so any ideas which keyboard/switch it is?

Sounds like a Topre Realforce at 5 meters and a scarf on the micro.
Or maybe a Rubberdome at 20 meters?
Or a MX-Clear in the next room and between a door?

I think there is no keyboard like that, cause its just a sound and it was edited.

You can use a silent keyboard + keyboard sounder + audio the samples taken from the video or the game

I think it sounds like a Apple Extended Keyboard II, which has ALPS "Cream" switches.

I think we're getting warm with ALPS switches, but it's a duller thump than the Apple Extended Keyboard II.  It really sounds like one of those keypads in a grocery store checkout or some super old school mainframe terminal keyboard.
