Well, I've been thinking about registering for some time now because I often think the posts on here are very interesting. I am fascinated by all the different keyswitches. Anyway, I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leading-Edge-Style-Unusual-Keyboard-/190609463318?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c61359816#ht_710wt_1059

I don't plan to buy it, but I'm awfully curious what kind of keyswitch/mechanism that is?? To me, it appears to be some sort of tactile mechanism over a membrane.

Hey look! It's the Black Brotha of the IBM Industrial XT! The sucky version that is.
