Hard to tell without a keycap off. Could be NMB 'space invaders' mechanical, or a rubber dome. It shipped with the AST Bravo 386SX, so it is old enough to be mechanical. Versyss seems to have been a computer supply company.
I found all of this out with google, pretty neat huh?

NMB is the original manufacturer. Look in the vintage switch wiki to read more about them.
