Switch ID help

I have this keypad with switches I've never really been able to identify. The only branding I've found is "Raymond"

It looks like a knock off of better known reed switches. Take a bank of em apart and show us the guts.

I would, but there doesn't really look like there's anyway to do it without damaging the switches. Although they do feel somewhat like them

The fact that you have a book about firearms in the background amuses me.

Show us the bottom of the PCB, please. The solder points might tell us something useful.

Just means, don't break into this place for keyboards!

As curious as these switches are, I'm more in favor of more pics, but nothing to risk breakage. Do you have a desoldering tool? There might be other markings or indicators on the underside of the switches, concealed by the PC board.
