Who dat switch

Bough the board because I thought it had interesting switches, but got these.




Board is this:



Any idea what switches these are? They are linear, seem to travel short distance and some a squeaky spring.

Is that a variant of the IBM 4980 127-key? No labels on the bottom? Are you teasing us?

Ericsson switch.  See this thread: https://deskthority.net/photos-f62/my-biggest-keyboard-shipment-receiving-t9821-30.html

Thanks for identification!

I tried to take the board apart, and it looked exactly like the pictures in this thread. My board is from sweden too appearently. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=11987.0

Also once I came to taking appart the attached numpad it went full transformers on me.  :D
