You may want to glance at the Deskthority wiki: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:List_of_all_keyboards

Most of them. That’s also not a very complete list. But if you look up some specific type of switch on the Deskthority wiki, you can usually get a good idea of several possible boards to look for for that switch.

I had a weird/goofy/cool/cheap Chinese buckling spring keyboard a couple of years ago but I sold it on ebay. You can't read the numbers but it was not really very good. I would not recommend chasing one down unless you just want to add it to the collection on the shelf.
