Anyone knows what switches was Yamaha using? Or this is just membrane?

I'm not sure if they're the same thing but I recently tried a Panasonic MSX (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45656.msg1671740#msg1671740). Had these weird mushy linear but bouncy feeling going. Kind of like MY. Not a membrane though. At least not the Panasonic one.

Yamaha mostly used Mitsumi, though I have also seen some models with Omron or even Cherry/Hirose on some of the top end "music computer" models.

Hmm... This need further exploration. I'll try to get one like this:
