About the only mechanical Compaqs around are MX11800s. 185152-xxx apparently.

The other ones are rubber domes from Keytronic or wherever.

Careful, there's another Cherry OEM Compaq around: G80-1838HPU.  Its
part number (185366-001) is not joneslee85's list though.

Those ones don't really feel much different than rubber domes anyway. They aren't bad, but they aren't amazing. (In other words, I wouldn't recommend spending more than $30 on one)
