Graphon 250 Terminal Keyboard

I took pictures of another board. This one is from a GraphOn Terminal.

Notable features...none.
Well, it is constructed a bit weird, see below.
I also can't find that switch in the vintage switch wiki over on GH. Does anybody know what it is?

Here are more pictures:

After opening the case clean and simple with six screws this is what's inside:

Very clean. I like it.

Lots of tiny little screws. This is the strange part. The switches are stuck in the front plate as usual but then the back plate is screwed to some of the switches. O_o

Under the back plate is a matrix.

The switches have a small spring inside the bottom that presses on the matrix.

and inside the switches is another spring that keeps the slider up.

Now, what's the name of this switch?

BTW: It's linear and feels neither particularly good nor bad.

If anybody is interested in the switches, this looks like the same thing: http://www.ebay.de/itm/DIGITAL-Tastatur ... 3a75910366

I haven't seen the switches before. But I think I've read a patent with switches that looked similar.
