This isn't buckling spring but it looks cute: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331120460206

The same seller has a Wang keyboard which looks ugly, but some may enjoy it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320558358229/

The 725-3155 is a terminal board with KeyTronic foam and foil switches.

I had some on one of my WANG keyboards. I didn't think they were all that bad.
