These have been discussed here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71257.0), here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=52346.0) and here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43872.0). The switches are apparently the seldom-seen bar-mount version of Futaba complicated linears (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Futaba_complicated_linear#Bar_mount). The buttons can, with some effort, be adapted for Cherry MX (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43872.msg913553#msg913553).
