Key Tronic foam and foil most likely.

Found this guy on Craigslist, wondering if it's worth picking up. Can't seem to find anything about it on the wiki so I can't determine the switch type. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/sop/5889531357.html

Sick, thanks guys. I'll pass on it and keep looking for not-broken Model Ms.

Compaq portable keyboard Model 2680KB. Switches have inverse crosses, double shot caps have the +.
What type of switch is this?

Likely slider over dome or foam and foil. Compaq is known for using foam and foil switches.

elecplus · 11 Dec 2016, 20:45

No springs, so prob not foam and foil? They are not clicky, but definitely not mush either.

mike52787 · 11 Dec 2016, 23:26

gonna go with dome with slider on those.

rubberdomes

thebluefox · 13 Dec 2016, 21:26

I thought so

Chyros · 13 Dec 2016, 21:39

Definitely rubber domes. I've found HUNDREDS of them at the recycling centre.

thebluefox · 13 Dec 2016, 21:41

I think it is another RD but testing my hand

Definitely domes. look through the pace between the keycaps, if you see plastic the same color as the case its 99% that its rubberdomes.

What Dell is this?

A rubber dome. By the by, you need to use direct links (end in .jpg) when hotlinking imgur files.

thebluefox · 16 Dec 2016, 11:28

Yeap! Thanks, I thought I see white plastic under the caps.

ohaimark · 16 Dec 2016, 11:32

No problem. I can remember the days when I couldn't identify keyboard switches by font, case shape, and other obscure characteristics...

Be careful with this hobby. It will consume you!

What's this? Back plate is made of metal.

Right, that's what I thought. You did say...

which is the key here, the only reason I'm being slightly obtrusive is so that we don't say anything wrong here. Chyros should know for sure anyway.
