It's a Tulip 11-500033-00. That's all I've got on this keyboard. I couldn't find more informations on what type of switches it's using.

If anyone has a clue...

I don't have it, it's a pic I got from an ebay listing.

I've asked the seller to get me a pic of what's underneath a key. Here's the result :

Looks like rubber dome sliders.

They aren't even very good rubber dome sliders since the sliders are built-in to the keys. I wouldn't recommend getting it.

The layout is like what you find on Siemens boards, with LCtrl, LAlt and Space the same size as on a regular 102-key board. I like that. The lettering contrast looks quite good, too.

The unevenly yellowed keys indicate varying plastic quality (the same can also be found with Dell AT101Ws and their 102-key relatives), and the Enter stabilizer doesn't look too high-tech. That label color... hmm. Anyway, it looks like an average quality rubber dome for the time (maybe '95 to '97), neither cheap junk nor super heavy duty.
