I have seen something similar in one of the electronic typewriters, looks similar to cherry, but the stems are slightly smaller & thinner. The backplate was rivetted and there was plastic/mylar underneath that. I assumed it was some sort of spring/dome underneath.

Does it feel clicky/tactile but not mushy? Then may be mechanical.

My 2 cents.

Ascaii has a keyboard from the same maker (Preh) with switches that look similar, but where the sliders are white.
It is slider over rubber dome.

Rubber dome. Disappointing.

Thanks, by the way.

MX compatible keycaps?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
