You may want to glance at the Deskthority wiki: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:List_of_all_keyboards

Most of them. That’s also not a very complete list. But if you look up some specific type of switch on the Deskthority wiki, you can usually get a good idea of several possible boards to look for for that switch.

I had a weird/goofy/cool/cheap Chinese buckling spring keyboard a couple of years ago but I sold it on ebay. You can't read the numbers but it was not really very good. I would not recommend chasing one down unless you just want to add it to the collection on the shelf.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
