Rubber domes.
 
G81 = Scissors (If am not mistaken)
G83 = Rubber Domes (there's a brand name for these, but I am not sure what it is)
G84 = ML (mechanical short throw; these are OK)
G80 = MX
 
I might have G81 and G83 mixed up.

Actually I think it is:

G81 = FTSC (aka MY) - plunger-over-membrane
G83 = NTK system - membrane contact switches with rubber-mat technology

81 is actually mechanical, but it's a linear switch.

82 and 83 are rubber dome as far as I know

84 is mechanical low profile (ML switches)

85 is low profile and I'd imagine either rubber dome or scissor switch.

86 is rubber dome.

I think the G/J/M prefixes may be the intended market, or perhaps refer to the chassis availible.
