Title: Can you identify this switch?

I'm not familiar with this and a quick search didn't turn up an answer. Do you know what it is?

Thanks, foam and foil looks to be correct. The keyboard is a Chicony 5391, which I can't find any info on, and I can't find the switch manufacturer either. It's a bit of a mystery board I guess.
