Many thanks to 7bit for making the eBay link to this public! The keyboard uses the old type low profile (but full travel!) ALPS switches. Linear and smooth as butter. These actually feel entirely identical to Cherry MX red switches. The keycaps are wonderful too. Just the spacebar squeaks quite a bit. I will need to apply grease to that later.

PS: I love the old ALPS logo!

Hmm, didn't those laptops have a ton of bounce issues?

Some old IBM Japan keyboards used these - older versions of the Multistation and PC-JX mainly.
