Can someone more educated than I confirm, this is buckling-spring over membrane, yes? Pretty sure I'm about to buy it.

EDIT: Yep, yoink'd. Thanks much for the tip!

Yup, I'll be picturizing it up while I give it the customary used-keyboard-deepclean. I was in the market for a buckling spring but couldn't figure out what I wanted, so this just made everything easy - and the seller is only a few hours' drive away to boot, so it should be here soon. :D
