Could be interesting for someone. Strange connector.

Looks like some sort of alps clone.

I had one of those, black or gray as I recall. I think I sold it to somebody here, SpamRay maybe?

The plug was like a headphone connector and I never could get anything to recognize it.

Alps-compatible plungers over domes.

This particular one is Alps SKFS, not integrated domes: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKFR/SKFS

Same kind of switch as in the Apple Adjustable keyboard (though the ones in the Apple board have extra lube to reduce the click sound, or something). Personally I’m not a big fan.
