Looks like Futaba linear.

That's what I thought so on first sight, but I don't think so. The rectangular slider bar doesn't look like it's there and the upper retaining clips are nowhere near straight enough.

I have to lean towards this as well, although the housing shape is a bit different and it is difficult to tell if the rectangular slider bar is there or not.

I'm convinced it's not them. They don't look like them, and the keyboard seems to modern for vintage Futabas.

I'm pretty sure they're Mitsumi standard mechanical switches.

As for what you should do with them; give them to me! 8)

Ah yes, I think you nailed it:
