HP 46021A Keyboard, anyone know the switch type?

This would be a perfect keyboard to hack apart and make a mini out of if it's got a good keyswitch.  Can't quite see what it is.

It probably uses some sort of linear switches.

It's interesting to note that these old HP keyboards use SDL cables. There also appears to be a pass through, probably for a mouse.

I wonder if those SDL cables have the same pin-out as a model M.
