Could you identify the mechanism below? Is it buckling spring? Is it any good?

I'd say ALPS, but I have no idea. I know nothing.

It's not Alps it's some hammer over membrane design with a spring instead of rubber dome, kind of different. Keycaps are doubleshots and appear to be Alps compatible. If it feels good to type on is your call.

Looks like some crazy ALPS-membrane hybrid. Interesting idea.

How does it feel?

Thanks for answers, I don't own it, it's for sale on auction, so I wanted to know is it worth any money.

Like I said, it's an interesting idea. If it's not too expensive, I'd buy it just to open it up and have a look.

What's it selling for?

There is no 'buy now' price, ppl bid, it ends tommorow so we will see.

Well, if you get it, let me know, I'd be interested.
