I don't think this is buckling spring, maybe alps (if not domes)?

Drool!

I think that was my first keyboard, I bought a "PC's Limited AT" IBM clone in August 1985 and my order was initialed by Micheal Dell who might have actually assembled the thing in his lair (~$2900 with monochrome monitor and not including printer).

My keyboard configuration memory is foggy and it was probably not a buckling spring, because it died about 1991-92 and I had trouble replacing it with something else that had function keys on the left which I desired even then!

Somewhere around the mid-1990s, a couple of years after "upgrading" to a hand-me-down 80486 running DOS 5x from my brother-in-law, I gave away the entire "PCs Limited" system including an Epson dot-matrix printer (that is the piece that I really wish that I still had!) to a pitiful "client" at work who promptly cancelled his contract and vanished.

In mid-1998 my employer gave me a fresh clean Dell system with Windows and it all went to **** from there ....

oem is maxi-switch: I bet it's a dome with slider.
