What keyboards can be classed as a clicky rubberdome? Is there such a thing?

I have a Xerox board that is exactly this and was wondering how many more there are like this. It's actually quite nice. Pics to come soon.

A gent took one of my Keytronic Professional 101 keyboards yesterday. Discrete rubberdomes can feel quite nice!

Fujitsu Peerless. It's a muted click but it's definitely there.

The Razer Ornata uses rubber domes and a leaf clicker as I recall.

On eBay, all keyboards are "clicky" ... :-þ

In all seriousness... I know there have been linear keyboards with internal solenoid for click sound. Maybe there have been early rubber domes with them as well.
There are Model M with beeper, which is why the case has a speaker grille. Would it be possible to install a IBM Model M beeper into a Rubber Dome Model M? ;)

I think it would be possible to do that. If the controller is the same
