Looks like some kind of Alps mount dome but not sure.

Do you have any more pictures/access to the keyboard?

FCC ID doesn't even have listings for A80. If it is Alps compatible I really want those keycaps... But if not I don't want to waste my money.

Metal backplate = most likely membrane.

Yeah I kind of figured it was membrane. I'm still hoping for Alps-mount though.  :-\

Yes it have Alps mount, same keycaps for editing program were on some of their older Alps/Alps clone switch boards. Those model are just slider over domes. I don't see any reason all the non stabilized keys wouldn't work on any other Alps mount.
